3 offensive players who need more snaps for remainder of 2021

1. Cam Sims

Cam freaking Sims! Can someone please explain to us how this physical specimen has only played 21% of the snaps this season? It’d be one thing if Washington was getting consistent production from wideouts not named Terry McLaurin, but that’s literally been anything but the case.

As we noted earlier, Samuel has just 10 touches on the year. Dyami Brown has been so invisible that we wouldn’t blame you if you forgot he was on the roster. Highly touted following a magnificent career in Chapel Hill, the third-round pick has just nine catches for 87 yards on his rookie resume.

Adam Humphries, though, he’s come up with some clutch catches, has yet to register a game with more than four catches. Finally, we get to DeAndre Carter, who, despite scoring some big touchdowns, is still learning the ropes of the position.

Sims just always seems to make plays when he’s on the field. That should come as no surprise, though. At 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds, he’s a walking mismatch for both defensive backs and linebackers. He’s also a proven blocker, as evidenced by his 67.6 blocking grade from Pro Football Focus.

It shouldn’t take a highlight-reel touchdown over his former college teammate (Trevon Diggs) for Sims to earn more playing time, but the Alabama product better see an uptick in snaps from this point forward, especially with McLaurin banged up.

Has everybody forgotten how good Sims was last year? He notched career-highs in catches (32), receiving yards (477) and first downs (18), and  came up HUGE in the Wild Card game against Tampa Bay, when he tallied seven receptions for 104 yards on 13 targets.

Nothing more needs to be said. Washington needs playmakers in the worst way right now, and Sims is more than qualified in that department.

Get him on the field and thank us later.
