Hakeem Butler

Hakeem Butler has been waived by the Bengals.

Fantasy Impact

Butler has bounced around from team to team throughout his career but has never been a significant fixture in any NFL offense. Butler will look to make a practice squad and may look to rejoin the UFL in March 2025.

The Cincinnati Bengals signed WR Hakeem Butler.

Fantasy Impact

Butler was named the Offensive Player of the Year in the UFL. He is a former fourth-round pick of the Cardinals.

The Carolina Panthers are expected to work out UFL Offensive Player of the Year Hakeem Butler.

Fantasy Impact

Butler caught 45 passes for a league-best 652 receiving yards and 5 TDs for the St. Louis Battlehawks this season. He was unable to establish himself during his first stint in the NFL, but will look to earn a second chance after a strong showing in the UFL.

Eagles tight end Hakeem Butler is officially active for the first time as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles for their Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.

Fantasy Impact

The Eagles signed Butler off of the Panthers' practice squad at the end of September and are transitioning him from wide receiver to tight end. He is active for the first time on Sunday, but that has likely more to do with the number of the injuries the Eagles are dealing with than anything else. Philadelphia has four tight ends active today (Butler, Zach Ertz, Richard Rodgers, and Jason Croom), so Butler is unlikely to play a significant role in the offense.

Hakeem Butler will not play Sunday’s Week 4 contest against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Butler was signed by the Eagles Tuesday and will be listed as a tight end. He will not play Sunday’s game against the 49ers as Butler gets familiar with his new team. Butler will provide tight end depth for the Eagles once activated to the main roster.
