The Facts:
With the free-agency frenzy set to get going in full force, speculation is sure to abound regarding the Bears’ top targets. But if landing a WR is a priority, one player in particular hopes the Bears give him a serious look. "Chicago would be one of the ideal spots for me,’’ Sims-Walker said Monday. "With the offensive coordinator (Mike Martz) and Jay Cutler, the speedy receivers, the monster defense, and Matt Forte in the backfield, I think I can be the missing piece."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Sims-Walker spent the last three seasons with the Jaguars. In 2010, he caught 43 passes for 562 yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games (13 starts). In ’09, he caught 63 passes for 869 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games (14 starts). He has had some injuries issues in the past but claims to be 100 percent now. As Tribune staffer Vaughn McClure notes, the 6-2, 212-pound Sims-Walker would give the Bears a different dimension as a big receiver. It remains unclear which direction the Bears are headed in free agency. According to McClure, the Bears have no interest in Plaxico Burress. Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens also are not on the Bears’ list. But Santana Moss, Carolina's Steve Smith (via trade), Santonio Holmes, Sidney Rice and Braylon Edwards might be of interest. According to McClure, Rice was high on the list before the lockout.
