Willie Snead IV

The Dolphins placed Willie Snead IV on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact

Snead landed a deal with Miami at the end of July. He is dealing with an undisclosed injury.

Willie Snead IV is signing with the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact

Snead has logged just six total receptions over the past three seasons, but the Dolphins are giving him a chance to earn a roster spot with them. It doesn't seem likely that he makes the team, but even if he does, there's almost no chance that he ends up having any real fantasy value this season.

Willie Snead IV has been elevated from San Francisco's practice squad ahead of their matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact

Snead has been on-and-off San Francisco's roster all season, but he will be elevated for Thursday and will have a chance to find the field. This move likely comes as a result of Deebo Samuel injuring his ankle last week, with the team wanting to have more depth against Seattle. The veteran will play that role, but he likely won't get much play time and doesn't have much fantasy value for Thursday night.

Willie Snead IV was released by the San Francisco 49ers on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Snead has been cut by San Francisco just one day after playing in their win over the Los Angeles Rams. He failed to log a catch in that game, and he didn't give the team much of a reason to keep him around. He could end up back on San Francisco's practice squad or on another team in the near future.

The 49ers signed Willie Snead off their practice squad to the active roster.

Fantasy Impact

With Deebo Samuel already ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Rams and Jauan Jennings questionable, the 49ers need all the wide receiving depth they can get. It's unlikely that he'll play a significant role with the team, given that he signed with the practice squad just a few weeks ago, but he'll have a chance to earn a role if he comes up with a big performance against a division rival. Don't consider Snead as a fantasy option at this point.
