  49ers | Chip Kelly likes Jerome Simpson    Fri Aug 5, 12:42 AM

San Francisco 49ers WR Jerome Simpson is 'flourishing' in head coach Chip Kelly's system and is a 'guy to keep an eye on' going forward, Kelly said Wednesday, Aug. 3.

Footballguys view: The 49ers #2 wide receiver job is still open, although Bruce Ellington is in the lead. Quinton Patton could be fading and CFL import Eric Rogers has been impressing, so this depth chart is far from settled.

  49ers | WR corps inexperienced in San Fran    Thu Jul 21, 02:25 AM

San Francisco 49ers Torrey Smith is one of just three receivers with more than 40 career receptions heading into the 2016 season. WRs Jerome Simpson (150) and Quinton Patton (56) are the others. Simpson and Patton will be in the mix to serve as the No. 2 receiver opposite Smith.

Footballguys view: Things look foggy for the offense in San Francisco. Unless something shakes it up, there are certainly cracks in the passing offense, experience (or lack thereof) being one of them. Add in that Blaine Gabbert or Colin Kaepernick are San Andreas size flawed prospects at quarterback and this is a passing offense which seems like a disaster in the making. Smith is the only receiver we even kind of like and he's a WR4/WR5.

  49ers | SF wideout jobs are wide open    Tue Jun 21, 01:15 AM

San Francisco 49ers WRs Bruce Ellington, Quinton Patton and Jerome Simpson are in the mix for the starting job opposite WR Torrey Smith. WR Dres Anderson isn't expected to be consistent enough to shoulder the load, but he is also in the battle. WR DeAndrew White has plenty of size, but he is considered closer to the roster bubble than he is to being a regular contributor.

Footballguys view: This is a spot not many fantasy owners should be looking at. Only those in the deepest of deep leagues should be thinking about a second WR from the 49ers in 2016. Even Smith is a deeper option, sitting at WR54 (11.12) in 12-team PPR leagues.

Free-agent WR Jerome Simpson (Vikings) signed a two-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers Thursday, March 5.

  Vikings | Jerome Simpson released    Thu Sep 18, 06:55 PM

The Minnesota Vikings have released WR Jerome Simpson Thursday, Sept. 18.

Footballguys view: Simpson was set to come back from his three-game suspension after this week. The team decided to let Simpson go after learning on Thursday of new alcohol and marijuana charges from July. All Simpson does is get in trouble, and he may find it difficult to find a new home given the state of troublemakers in the league.

  Vikings | Two in contention for slot WR job    Fri Jul 18, 11:22 PM

Minnesota Vikings WRs Jarius Wright and Jerome Simpson are expected to compete for the slot receiver job during training camp.

Footballguys view: We'd like to see more of Wright. He had a couple of good games last year, including a four catch, 95 yard performance against the Eagles in Week 15. Wright is quicker and more explosive than Simpson, and he's a much more dangerous receiver after the catch.

  Vikings | Jerome Simpson likely not in line to start    Wed Jun 11, 10:15 PM

Minnesota Vikings WR Jerome Simpson, who took a pay cut to remain with the team after some off-field issues, is likely not in line to start with leading returning WR Greg Jennings and WR Cordarrelle Patterson in the mix. Still, Simpson is happy to be back, and he had a good relationship with head coach Mike Zimmer when the two were both in the Cincinnati Bengals organization together.

Footballguys view: Given the talent in front of him, as well as a potentially increased role for tight end Kyle Rudolph, Simpson may not get many looks, and certainly not many consistent ones. Right now, he's not worth rostering.

  Vikings | One-year deal for Jerome Simpson    Fri Mar 14, 03:06 PM

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman said the team agreed to a one-year contract with WR Jerome Simpson Friday, March 14.

Footballguys view: Simpson gets to stick with the Vikings, but we're not expecting him to have much of a fantasy impact this year. Look for second-year pro Cordarrelle Patterson to emerge as a primary weapon in the passing game.

  Vikings | Want to re-sign Jerome Simpson    Thu Mar 6, 05:06 AM

The Minnesota Vikings are interested in re-signing WR Jerome Simpson for a third season even though he has had run-ins with the law.

Footballguys view: It's interesting to say the least as with the arrival of Greg Jennings and emergence of Cordarrelle Patterson, Simpson's role was slowly reduced. That said, for the right price, Simpson could help out a team in need of more weapons.

  Vikings | Jerome Simpson comes in later    Sun Nov 17, 11:02 PM

Minnesota Vikings WR Jerome Simpson did not start in the Week 12 game against the Seattle Seahawks, even with WR Greg Jennings (Achilles') inactive. Head coach Leslie Frazier used Simpson as the fourth receiver for much of the day, with WR Joe Webb often seeing time ahead of Simpson in three-receiver sets. Simpson was arrested Nov. 9 for drunken driving. 'There's no sense in me talking about that now. The decision was made. Simpson was out there on the second play. Circumstances dictated this is what we had to do,' Frazier said Sunday, Nov. 17. Simpson made one catch for one yard.

  Vikings | Cordarrelle Patterson could see more time    Sat Nov 16, 02:52 AM

Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier has not yet spelled out the plan publicly, but he has hinted this week that WR Cordarrelle Patterson could start Sunday, Nov. 17, at the Seattle Seahawks ahead of WR Jerome Simpson, who was charged with drunken driving. 'They drafted me to play, not ride the bench every snap,' Patterson said. 'If I start, I start. If I don't, I don't. I'm behind a great guy in Jerome Simpson. Me and him compete with each other just to get better.'

Footballguys view: Yes! We've been waiting patiently for this and hopefully it will pay off. Patterson is fantastic in the open field with the ball in his hands. He's not a developed route runner, but the team should be able to find ways to use him like they used to use Percy Harvin. We'll see if they are bold enough to use the rookie the right way.

Minnesota Vikings WR Jerome Simpson will likely play in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks despite being charged with a third-degree driving while intoxicated. However, head coach Leslie Frazier won't say whether Simpson will start in the game.

Footballguys view: Simpson could also face further discipline for violating the terms of his probation following a September 2011 arrest for a drug-related offense. WR Cordarrelle Patterson could be involved more if the Vikes choose to limit Simpson's availability.

Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier was still not ready to say definitely, whether WR Jerome Simpson would be available in Week 11. Simpson was arrested over the weekend for driving under the influence. 'We'll have further clarification as we learn more from the league as well as what we're going to do internally,' Frazier said Tuesday, Nov. 12. 'But from my standpoint there isn't a whole lot more I can add regarding his situation as we are continuing to gather more information.'

  Vikings | Uncertain about Jerome Simpson's Week 11 status    Mon Nov 11, 01:09 PM

The Minnesota Vikings are not sure if WR Jerome Simpson will play Week 11 after he was arrested this past weekend for driving while intoxicated.

  Vikings | Cordarelle Patterson to see extra packages?    Fri Nov 1, 09:07 PM

Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave indicated Friday, Nov. 1, that the team has packages in place for when WRs Cordarrelle Patterson and Jerome Simpson are on the field at the same time, and the club might want to expand that package. 'We didn't get a lot of plays the other night. We need to stay on the field so we can call more than a couple dozen, excluding the two-minute the other night,' Musgrave said. 'We want to get into our game plan because we do have some packages that we're excited about...getting both those guys out on the field and letting them do their thing.

Footballguys view: Musgrave needs to use Patterson more. He's the type of wideout who is not a crisp route runner, but has elite run after the catch ability. There are ways to design simple plays to get him open underneath. A drag route or rub route over the middle would be a start. Patterson has the speed and elusiveness to score from anywhere on the field.

Minnesota Vikings WR Jerome Simpson had seven catches for 140 yards in Week 1.

Footballguys view: Simpson had the biggest play of the day for the Vikings pass offense, and definitely staked his claim to hold off first-round pick Cordarrelle Patterson for at least the early part of the season. He's worth a pickup in deep leagues, especially non-PPR with his deep ball game. Simpson will try his hand against the Bears next week.

  Vikings | New bed helping Jerome Simpson's back    Wed May 29, 12:43 PM

Minnesota Vikings WR Jerome Simpson says his new Tempurpedic mattress has helped stabilize his back and keep him in good posture. Simpson suffered a lower-back ailment, which turned out to be a nerve issue, that squashed his production for two months. 'It was more my push-off,' he said. 'I didn't really have my burst to be able to get away from my defenders when I needed to.' Simpson says he's back at 100 percent.

Footballguys view: Simpson was thought to be a steal in free agency last year but failed to impress during his first season with the Vikings. We'll see if he can have a better year in 2013.

  Vikings | Jerome Simpson coming back    Wed Mar 13, 03:38 PM

The Minnesota Vikings re-signed WR Jerome Simpson to a one-year deal.

  Vikings | Jerome Simpson could return    Wed Feb 20, 04:53 PM

The Minnesota Vikings could consider re-signing impending free-agent WR Jerome Simpson if they are able to sign him to an inexpensive contract.

  Vikings | Future for Jerome Simpson uncertain    Sun Jan 27, 09:10 PM

Impending free-agent WR Jerome Simpson (Vikings) had an injury-filled season, and he did little statistically when healthy. Simpson was also credited with four dropped balls. In addition, he missed a block which led to the season-ending injury to WR Percy Harvin (ankle). Simpson might return on another short-term deal at the right price, as he is not expected to have much value on the open market. However, the Vikings might just decide to move on after the disappointment of 2012.

Footballguys view: Simpson had a sensational offseason, but injuries and inconsistent play kept him from turning that into production during the regular season. The Vikings will probably move on from him this year.

  Vikings | Jerome Simpson hindered by injury    Fri Dec 14, 04:06 PM

Minnesota Vikings WR Jerome Simpson (back) is still being bothered by a disc injury in his back, according to head coach Leslie Frazier. Simpson has been a big disappointment with only 15 catches for 176 yards and no touchdowns in nine games this year. He hasn't had more than three catches in any game. 'You can't get around the injury,' Frazier said. 'It definitely has had an effect on his play. We're doing the best we can, he's doing the best he can and that play he made on the slant in (last Sunday's) game in the fourth quarter, that was a big play for us. We're going to need him to make some plays for us this Sunday. Give us whatever he can.' Simpson's speed has been affected, as well as his ability to cut and plant during his routes. He has yet to be told that he'll need offseason surgery, though.

Footballguys view: Simpson created a lot of buzz in the offseason, but never panned out this year as the downfield complement to Percy Harvin. He might be worth a stash in the offseason again this year in dynasty leagues to see if the injury really was the main culprit in his lost year.

Minnesota Vikings WRs Michael Jenkins, Stephen Burton and Devin Aromashodu were targeted a total of five times in the team's Week 13 loss against the Green Bay Packers. WR Jerome Simpson finished with two catches (seven targets) for 25 yards, and WR Jarius Wright had only one catch for 13 yards. 'I don't want to make it sound bad, but never in my life have I been a part of something like this,' Wright said. 'I don't even know how to say it.' TE Kyle Rudolph led the aerial assault with six receptions for 51 yards and a touchdown, and QB Christian Ponder went 12-for-25 (48 percent completion rate) for 119 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Ponder's longest completion went for only 21 yards, and the Vikings' receivers were not able to gain much separation.

  Vikings | Becoming one-dimensional    Fri Nov 9, 06:22 PM

The Minnesota Vikings have become a very one-dimensional team lately, and opponents are choking off WR Percy Harvin and TE Kyle Rudolph. QB Christian Ponder is waiting for routes to open up down the field and it's not happening. Once the Vikings fall behind, they are forced to abandon their running game and their best weapon, RB Adrian Peterson. 'Outside of Percy, I don't consider any of those guys really threats. Obviously, I really like Rudolph, but he's not a stretch-you-down-the-field type of guy. I'm not a huge Jerome Simpson fan. I thought as long as we could get them to throw, we'll be all right,' said a scout. As a result, Ponder has seemed more hesitant to take chances down the field.
