Catches TD in loss
Sherfield had a 10-yard touchdown reception on his only target in Thursday's loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Despite the touchdown, Sherfield has a minimal role in the passing game. He played just three snaps on offense and has just five targets this season. His touchdown likely won't earn him more playing time as the No. 4 wide receiver barring injuries in the receiving corps.

Little usage on offense
Sherfield did not have target or carry in Sunday's loss to Detroit. He played four snaps on offense.
Analysis: Sherfield hasn't had a target the past two games and just two the past four games, as he isn't on the field much as the fourth receiver. He's mostly been playing special teams (20 snaps Sunday).

One reception in win
Sherfield had one reception for eight yards on his lone target in Sunday's win over Houston.
Analysis: Sherfield played on 15 of the offense's 63 snaps as he worked as the No. 4 receiver with Jordan Addison out with an ankle injury. Sherfield could play just a few snaps on offense once Addison returns.

One reception in win
Sherfield had one reception for 17 yards on two targets in Sunday's win over San Francisco.
Analysis: Sherfield played on 16 of the offense's 54 offensive snaps. He moved into the fourth receiver role behind Jalen Nailor, who had 50 snaps on offense and four targets, and Brandon Powell (32 snaps and two targets ) with Jordan Addison (ankle) sidelined. Sherfield could see an expanded role Week 3 against Houston if both Addison and Justin Jefferson (quad) are sidelined.

Makes 53-man roster
Sherfield has made Minnesota's 53-man roster, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: The Vikings will begin the season with a starting wide receiver trio of Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Jalen Nailor. Brandon Powell is likely the No. 4 receiver with Trishton Jackson and Sherfield profiling in depth/special-teams roles.

TD catch in Vikings preseason debut
Sherfield had three receptions for 46 yards on six targets, including a 33-yard touchdown, in Saturday's preseason win over Las Vegas.
Analysis: Sherfield is competing for the fourth or fifth receiver role among a crowded field that includes Brandon Powell, Trishton Jackson, Lucky Jackson and Thayer Thomas. The veteran may have a lead on a roster spot at this point in the preseason.

Joining Minnesota WR corps
The Vikings are set to sign Sherfield to a one-year deal, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: Per Goessling, Sherfield's deal is for $1.79 million and includes a $400,000 signing bonus. In 17 regular-season games with the Bills in 2023, Sherfield caught 11 of his 22 targets for 86 yards and one touchdown. With the Vikings, the 28-year-old figures to compete with Brandon Powell for wideout snaps and targets behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.

Modest role for Buffalo
Sherfield caught 11 of 22 targets for 86 yards and one touchdown while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2023.
Analysis: Sherfield had one big prime-time moment during the division-clinching win over the Dolphins in Week 18, which just so happened to come against his former team. Other than that, he didn't have many opportunities come his way since the Bills had several superior options at wide receiver, tight end and running back. Sherfield was on a one-year deal, but with fellow wideout Gabe Davis a good bet to move on in free agency, the Bills may try to bring Sherfield back on a similar contract.

Targeted twice in win
Sherfield played 15 of 77 snaps on offense and recorded one catch for nine yards on two targets in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: The 15 snaps placed Sherfield fourth among Bills receivers, trailing Gabe Davis (63), Stefon Diggs (61) and Khalil Shakir (47), but ranking ahead of Deonte Harty (three). Sherfield has drawn five targets over the Bills' last two contests, but he's not expected to see his profile in the passing attack expand while all of Davis, Diggs and Shakir remain healthy. It doesn't help Sherfield's case that tight end Dawson Knox made his return from injured reserve in Kansas City, which could result in…read more

Active for Week 11
Sherfield (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Jets, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Sherfield was able to increase his workload at practice as the week went on and he'll be able to go Sunday against New York. The wide receiver has been limited to just one catch for nine yards over the last three games.

Questionable for Sunday vs. Jets
Sherfield (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jets.
Analysis: Sherfield was able to practice in full Friday, which means he's likely closer to the probable end of the official questionable designation. If he's sidelined in Week 11, Deonte Harty figures to run more routes Sunday as a result.

Limited in Thursday's practice
Sherfield (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Sherfield exited Monday night's loss to the Broncos just ahead of halftime and wasn't able to return, and he then missed Wednesday's practice. If Sherfield is able to practice again Friday, it would give him a decent shot to play Sunday against the Jets.

Sherfield (ankle) won't participate in Buffalo's walkthrough Wednesday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: Sherfield was forced out of Monday's loss versus the Broncos early with an ankle injury, and now he's missing the Bills' first practice of the new week. He'll probably need to get back to practice Thursday or Friday to have a chance to play in Week 11.

Questionable to return
Sherfield (ankle) is questionable to return to Buffalo's game versus the Broncos on Monday.
Analysis: Sherfield went down with an ankle injury in the first half and is now a question mark to return. The 27-year-old didn't record any stats before exiting the game, and Deonte Harty should see more playing time if Sherfield is unable to come back.

Two catches in win
Sherfield caught two of his three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Sherfield had an underwhelming performance Sunday despite playing the third-most wide receiver snaps (27) behind Stefon Diggs (44) and Gabe Davis (42). Playing ahead of Khalil Shakir and Deonte Harty, the veteran wideout was unable to make the most of his opportunities. With so many mouths to feed on a talented offense in Buffalo, Sherfield will likely continue to find it difficult to consistently produce for fantasy purposes. The Bills are set to square off against the Jaguars in Week 5.

Two grabs in win
Sherfield caught two of his three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 37-3 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Sherfield saw his first targets as a member of the Bills on Sunday, but he was unable to make much happen with his opportunities. The veteran's offensive snap share has increased each week, as he was on the field for 46 percent of snaps in Week 3. Over the first two weeks, Sherfield saw snap shares of 16 percent and 39 percent. His increased usage is promising, but his overall lack of involvement in the passing game leaves much to be desired. The 27-year-old receiver will likely continue to…read more

Uninvolved in offense
Sherfield has yet to be targeted through two games even though he's seen 39 snaps on offense.
Analysis: The Bills have a crowded offense, and barring injury, there are five players that should hog just about all of the targets -- top wideouts Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, running backJames Cook, and tight ends Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid. That leaves Shefield and the two other receivers that made the final roster -- Deonte Harty and Khalil Shakir -- getting the scraps, and so far for Sherfield there hasn't been a morsel. On the bright side, his 39 snaps outpace Harty's 28 and Shakir's 19, so…read more

Makes initial roster
Sherfield remains on the Bills' roster following this week's cutdowns.
Analysis: Sherfield was all over the field all summer amid a heavy competition for the final wideout spots, and in the end he won a job while the Bills cut others or moved younger receivers to the practice squad. The intrigue doesn't stop here, as the Bills' No. 3-No. 5 receiver spots seem to present a fluid situation, so the 27-year-old journeyman could have a somewhat important depth role in the offense once all is said and done.

Making case for spot
Sherfield continues to have a good summer and drew more praise from offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey this week, Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News reports. "I just didn't know how good Trent could be when he first got here," Dorsey said. "I really didn't. I thought he'd be a great piece for us, and a guy who would compete for a spot and everything.
Analysis: Sherfield, who posted a 30-417-2 line for the Dolphins last season, profiles as a good candidate for snaps as a middle-of-the-field guy. The Bills are settled at the top two spots with Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, but there's no clear-cut pecking order after that. Sherfield looks like a good bet for a roster spot at this stage, and he could work his way all the way up to the No. 3 role (one that might turn into more of a committee) if he continues to shine.

Generating buzz in spring work
Sherfield has "stepped up and been a favorite" of Josh Allen during spring practices, writes The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia.
Analysis: Sherfield inked a one-year deal with Buffalo after spending last season with the division-rival Dolphins, where he set career highs across the board with 30 catches for 417 yards and two touchdowns on 58 percent of the offensive snaps behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. In Buffalo, Sherfield "has stood out the most this spring" as the third receiver and has gained Allen's trust, Buscaglia reports. Given that assessment, it appears the 27-year-old has a strong chance to serve as the Bills' No.…read more

Lands one-year deal in Buffalo
The Bills signed Sherfield to a one-year contract Monday.
Analysis: Sherfield stays in the AFC East after putting together a career-best 30-417-2 receiving line in 17 games with the Dolphins last season. Part of Sherfield's success in 2022 could have been due to his familiarity with Miami coach Mike McDaniel's scheme, as the two spent time together in San Francisco, but his arrival in Buffalo provides the Bills with a reliable veteran presence behind top wideouts Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis.

Enjoys career year
Sherfield secured 30 of 51 targets for 417 yards and two touchdowns across 17 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2022.
Analysis: Sherfield put together the best campaign of his five-year career in his inaugural season with the Dolphins, an outcome that was no doubt assisted by his familiarity with coach Mike McDaniel's scheme from their time together in San Francisco. He established himself as a trustworthy No. 3 wideout down the stretch of the 2022 season, so though Sherfield will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, the Dolphins could have real motivation to re-sign him as reliable depth behind Tyreek Hill and…read more

Not targeted in win over Jets
Sherfield was not targeted during Sunday's 11-6 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Sherfield didn't draw a target from Skylar Thompson despite having been involved enough Week 17 to draw six looks. As such, the regular-season finale counts as Sherfield's first game of the 2022 regular season without a target. He could be more involved in the wild-card matchup against Buffalo, especially if the Dolphins have Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) or Teddy Bridgewater back under center.

Targeted six times in loss
Sherfield secured two of six targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Sherfield tied his single-game target count this season with a combination of Teddy Bridgewater (finger) and Skylar Thompson under center Sunday. While he wasn't efficient with increased volume, Sherfield could be a sneaky fantasy option for Week 18's regular-season finale against the Jets dependent on the health of Miami's quarterback position; if Thompson is back under center, a similar gameplan could be deployed.

Secures both targets
Sherfield caught both of his targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 26-20 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: Sherfield once again handled a key complementary role for Miami's offense, though his usage didn't translate to fantasy production. With just two touchdowns on the year, and only three games with at least 50 receiving yards, Sherfield can only be considered a fantasy dart throw with a divisional matchup against the Patriots on deck Week 17.

No catches in divisional loss
Sherfield could not secure his only target during Saturday's 32-29 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Sherfield had seen 17 targets in his last four games prior to Saturday's loss, so his lack of involvement could have been partially due to adverse weather conditions. The Dolphins get a home matchup against the Packers in Week 16, but Sherfield's fantasy relevance is still restricted to extremely deep formats.

Just one catch on SNF
Sherfield had one reception (four targets) for seven yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Sherfield was unable to reproduce last week's 75-yard touchdown catch, crashing back down to earth with his worst stat line since Week 6. The 26-year-old still saw his usual allotment of targets (four) as the Dolphins' third receiving option. Jaylen Waddle (fibula) struggled and has been limited by injury, and now Tyreek Hill (ankle) may be banged up as well, so Sherfield could see his usage increase to help offset any limitations Miami's star wideout duo may suffer against the Bills on…read more

Scores long TD
Sherfield's only catch on three targets went for a 75-yard touchdown in Sunday's 33-17 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Sherfield started with a bang, as his touchdown came on the very first offensive play of the game and comfortably marked the longest gain of his career. Although he didn't make any other catches, Sherfield could garner more looks in Week 14 versus the Chargers should teammate Jaylen Waddle continue to be impacted by a leg injury suffered Sunday.

Pair of grabs in win
Sherfield secured two of five targets for 33 yards in the Dolphins' 30-15 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Sherfield continued to function as the Dolphins' clear-cut third receiver, checking in behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle for third in targets on the day. The fifth-year veteran is up to a career-high 24 receptions and 280 yards through 10 games and will have a chance to face the team he spent 2021 with, the 49ers, in a Week 13 road showdown.

Sherfield secured four of five targets for 63 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 39-17 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Sherfield's highlight of the day was a 14-yard, toe-tapping touchdown catch via a perfectly placed pass from Tua Tagovailoa in the second quarter, his first score of the season. Though Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle account for the vast majority of Miami's passing production, Sherfield has emerged as a more than competent No. 3 complementary man, and he turned in his best performance of the season Week 10.

Sherfield (toe) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Sherfield, who was a late addition to the injury report, is in uniform, but if he's limited at all, Cedrick Wilson could see an uptick in opportunities Sunday. However, as long as Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are both available, they'll continue to command the bulk of Miami's WR targets, thus limiting the fantasy upside of the team's complementary options.

Late addition to injury report
The Dolphins added Sherfield to their Week 10 injury report, and he'll be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns with a toe injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Sherfield may have picked up the injury at some point during the Dolphins' final practice of the week Friday. The Dolphins will likely see how Sherfield fares in pregame warmups before making a call on his status before the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Secures all three targets
Sherfield caught all three of his targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 35-32 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Sherfield continues to show well for Miami as the No. 3 option behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, arguably the league's most dynamic wide receiver tandem. He recorded a key third-down conversion in the first quarter via an 18-yard catch, but while Sherfield's role has become important for the Dolphins, there are still no signs of it translating into fantasy relevance. Miami will prepare to host the Browns in Week 10.

Racks up 25 yards
Sherfield secured two of three targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 31-27 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Sherfield had a near touchdown on an 11-yard catch, but he was ruled just short of what would have been his first score of the season. While Sherfield's production is limited to the leftovers of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, both of whom surpassed 100 receiving yards Sunday, it's encouraging to see him log a sixth straight game with greater than a 50 percent snap share. In extremely deep leagues, Sherfield could carry some end-of-roster fantasy value against the Bears in Week 9.

Makes impact Sunday night
Sherfield secured all three of his targets for 44 yards during Sunday's 16-10 win over Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Sherfield appears to have established himself above Cedrick Wilson as Miami's No. 3 wideout, as he's now played at least 50 percent of offensive snaps in five straight games. Still, Miami's aerial attack runs through Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, with little left over for depth receiving options aside from the occasional big game from tight end Mike Gesicki. Sherfield has surpassed 10 receiving yards just twice this season.

Only one catch
Sherfield secured one of two targets for five yards during 40-17 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Sherfield's opportunities on offense dwindled with Cedrick Wilson back in action and a third-string quarterback under center for Miami. However, he still logged 66 percent of offensive snaps. Sherfield can't be considered a viable fantasy option while he remains in a depth role, but he possesses limited upside if starters above him on the depth chart are forced to miss time.

Productive as No. 3 receiver
Sherfield secured four of six targets for 55 yards during Thursday's 27-15 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Sherfield handled a significant role behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle with Cedrick Wilson (ribs) inactive Thursday, recording the third-highest receiving total of his career. If Wilson gets back on the field Week 5 versus the Jets, though, Sherfield will stand to revert to a depth spot. When Sherfield does get opportunities on offense in Miami, his familiarity with coach Mike McDaniel's offense makes him worthy of fantasy consideration in leagues with deep starting requirements.

Plays 20 snaps in team debut
Sherfield caught one of two targets for eight yards during Sunday's 20-7 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Sherfield was on the field for 20 offensive snaps during his Dolphins debut, putting him firmly as the No. 4 wideout behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Cedrick Wilson. With Hill and Waddle commanding the majority of the attention, it's unlikely Sherfield will have much fantasy value moving forward.

Lands in Miami
The Dolphins are signing Sherfield to a one-year contract Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Sherfield reunites with coach Mike McDaniel in Miami, so it seems likely that he will reprise a similar role to the one he handled in San Francisco. Of course, with three straight seasons of under 100 receiving yards under his belt, Sherfield remains off the fantasy radar even with a new team. He stands to handle a depth role and contribute on special teams in the 2022 season.

One catch in Week 18
Sherfield caught his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Sherfield was limited to just 10 offensive snaps (14 percent), which was in line with how he was being used all season. The 25-year-old only had one game (Week 13 vs. SEA) where he received more than 50 percent of the offensive snaps. Sherfield showed some promise in the preseason, building a rapport with rookie quarterback, Trey Lance, so there is a chance the 49ers elect to re-sign the unrestricted free agent this offseason.

The 25-year-old got his first catch and multi-target game since Week 13, and it was no coincidence that Trey Lance was under center.

Limited to five offensive snaps
Sherfield logged five offensive snaps (nine percent) and did not record a catch on his lone target in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Jauan Jennings (3-28-1) maintained his role as the 49ers' third wideout on the depth chart, keeping Sherfield buried in his recent role as the fourth wideout and special-teams contributor. The 25-year-old has just seven receptions through 14 games this season, so he won't garner fantasy attention heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Titans.

Logs 13 offensive snaps
Sherfield played 13 snaps on offense Sunday but did not receive a target in a 26-23 overtime win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Deebo Samuel (groin) returned from injury this week, pushing Sherfield back down to fourth on the receiving pecking order behind Jauan Jennings (three catches for 46 yards). The 24-year-old did recover a fumble on the special teams unit, a role he is likely to continue filling in the current wideout configuration. Sherfield would need multiple key position players to be ruled out before having any sort of fantasy value heading into next Sunday's matchup against Atlanta.

Season-high five targets
Sherfield had two receptions (on five targets) for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Deebo Samuel (groin) was forced to sit this one out, so Sherfield jumped into the starting lineup alongside Brandon Aiyuk. The 25-year-old filled in for Samuel in the fourth quarter of last week's contest, so it wasn't shocking to see the wideout take on the starter's snaps (98 percent of offensive snaps). Sherfield saw a season-high five targets but was understandably unable to replicate the star's production who he was replacing. Samuel initially was expected to miss 1-to-2 weeks, so he could…read more

Re-enters wideout rotation
Sherfield was on the field for 20 offensive snaps (27 percent) and caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over Minnesota.
Analysis: Sherfield has spent most of the season on the special teams unit, but he jumped into three-receiver sets in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest after Deebo Samuel (groin) was forced out of the game. While the latter's injury doesn't appear to be serious, his status for next week's matchup against the Seahawks is in serious question. If Samuel does miss the contest, Sherfield might find himself taking on some of the star wideout's usage. The 25-year-old was seen running some of Samuel's usual…read more

Spends majority of game on ST units
Sherfield saw 13 of his 15 snaps come on special teams Sunday. He did not receive a target in a 30-28 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Sherfield has seen his role reduced incrementally over the first three games of the season, which has coincided with starter Brandon Aiyuk's steady increase in playing time. The 25-year-old has performed well in his limited role (three receptions, 32 yards and a touchdown), so his reversion to fourth on the depth chart has more to do with the coaching staff restoring faith in Aiyuk as opposed to Sherfield doing anything to lose his minor role. For now, Sherfield won't carry any fantasy value…read more

Finishes third in WR snaps
Sherfield had one reception (three targets) for nine yards in Sunday's 17-11 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Sherfield had a strong debut with San Francisco last week, and he was rewarded with a bump up to third on the depth chart (34 percent of offensive snaps). The 25-year-old showed some promise during the preseason, so he is a name that could surface in the future if a larger role on offense opens up. Currently, Sherfield won't see the kind of volume necessary for most fantasy managers to rely on.

Hits pay dirt in SF debut
Sherfield had two receptions (three targets) for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-33 win over Detroit.
Analysis: Sherfield had a strong debut with his new club, making a crisp zag route from five yards out before rookie Trey Lance dialed him up for the score. It was fitting that the touchdown came from the arm of Lance, as the two players showed a strong rapport during the preseason, connecting on two plays of 40-plus yards. Sherfield took advantage of Brandon Aiyuk's (hamstring) limited availability, logging one extra offensive snap (27 to 26) than his projected starting teammate. The 25-year-old has…read more

Roster spot looking more likely
Sherfield has likely earned a roster spot after a strong preseason showing, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com.
Analysis: Sherfield was the 49ers' top producing wideout during the preseason while the starters rested, developing a strong rapport with potential rookie starter Trey Lance. San Francisco's top three receivers look to be set in stone, but Sherfield has put himself in a position to step up should any of Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk or Mohamed Sanu miss time this season. Assuming he does make the cut, the undrafted Vanderbilt product likely will serve on special teams against the Lions to kick off the…read more

Hauls in 80-yard score
Sherfield caught an 80-yard touchdown pass in Saturday's 19-16 preseason loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Sherfield caught Trey Lance's first completion, a deep shot down the right sideline that went for an 80-yard score. This is a strong start for Sherfield as he makes a case for a spot on the 53-man roster. The 25-year-old spent the last three seasons in Arizona and tallied just 28 receptions for 340 yards and a touchdown.

Heading to San Francisco
Sherfield is signing a one-year contract with the 49ers, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The 49ers lost Kendrick Bourne to free agency, but signing Sherfield will serve to shore up depth at wideout behind Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and Brandon Aiyuk (ankle). Sherfield also established himself as a core special-teams contributor across three seasons with the Cardinals.

Hitting the market
Sherfield wasn't tendered by the Cardinals as a restricted free agent, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Sherfield was one of the team's core special-teams players, logging 221 snaps on those units during the 2020 season. The speedy receiver also caught five of his seven targets for 50 yards and will aim to take his talents elsewhere in the upcoming season.

Sticks mostly to special teams
Sherfield had five receptions (on seven targets) for 50 yards in 15 contests during the 2020 season. He also compiled nine tackles (six solo) and two fumble recoveries.
Analysis: As one of the Cardinals' core special teamers, Sherfield logged nearly three times as many snaps (221) in that realm as on offense (79). Considering he's a restricted free agent in the offseason, Arizona seems apt to bring him back as a cost-controlled player. If he does return, Sherfield will be hard-pressed to climb a receiving depth chart occupied by DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk, KeeSean Johnson and Andy Isabella, even with Larry Fitzgerald (groin) still contemplating whether to come back…read more

Back on roster
Sherfield was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Analysis: Sherfield missed last week's game against the Patriots but will be eligible to play Sunday against the Rams. The depth wideout has just one catch this season.

Placed on COVID-19 list
Sherfield was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
Analysis: Sherfield has either tested positive for COVID-19 or come into contact with someone who has, putting his status for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots in doubt. If he isn't able to suit up against New England, his absence shouldn't have a major impact, as he's recorded just one reception for six yards. However, the Cardinals will have to rely on more receiving depth Sunday after Larry Fitzgerald (illness) tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday.

Mostly contained to special teams
Sherfield logged one snap on offense and 15 plays on special teams during Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: With just one six-yard catch on the season, Sherfield holds little sway in the fantasy realm in a receiving corps composed of DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk, Larry Fitzgerald and Andy Isabella. Still, Sherfield's prowess on kick and punt coverage allows him to be a regular on the game-day roster.

Tallies special-teams tackle
Sherfield wasn't targeted and notched a tackle on punt coverage during Monday's 38-10 victory at Dallas.
Analysis: The Cardinals made fellow wide receiver KeeSean Johnson a healthy scratch, but Sherfield handled just six of 62 snaps on offense while logging 13 special-teams plays. On the season, Sherfield has one catch on 23 offensive snaps through six contests, so he holds little to no sway in the fantasy realm.

Records first catch of season
Sherfield caught his only target for six yards during Sunday's 30-10 road win versus the Jets.
Analysis: Sherfield logged a season-high nine snaps on offense and 13 on special teams on his way to his first target (and reception) of the campaign. Still, he rang in fifth in offensive snap share among Cardinals wide receivers, exhibiting his standing with the unit.

Sticking primarily to special teams
Sherfield logged one snap on offense and 13 plays on special teams during Sunday's 26-23 defeat to the Lions.
Analysis: Sherfield has yet to record a touch or target, but his work on special teams has been consistent. On Sunday in particular, he had a tackle on a kick return and downed a punt at Detroit's nine-yard line. Having said that, Sherfield has received just eight offensive snaps through three games, despite KeeSean Johnson spending the first two contests on the reserve/COVID-19 list and Christian Kirk (groin) sitting out Week 3. It appears Sherfield will require multiple injuries to wide receivers at…read more

Little chance to contribute Sunday
Sherfield logged two snaps on offense and 15 special-teams plays during Sunday's 24-20 win in San Francisco.
Analysis: Sherfield's sole contribution in the play-by-play log was a downed punt in the middle of the third quarter. Moving forward, he'll have difficulty eking out chances on offense due to the presence of DeAndre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk at the top of the wide receiver depth chart, and Andy Isabella occupying the No. 4 spot. Expect Sherfield to continue being a regular on special teams, however.

Manages four receptions in 2019
Sherfield had four catches (on 13 targets) for 80 yards in 16 contests during the 2019 season.
Analysis: Sherfield was the Cardinals' only outside receiver to suit up for every game but didn't receive a target after Week 10, as he primarily was contained to special teams. In that realm, he totaled eight tackles and a fumble recovery, but such output is moot for fantasy purposes. Under contract for 2020, Sherfield may have difficulty working his way up the depth chart with a trio of wide receivers (Andy Isabella, Keesean Johnson and Hakeem Butler) to develop from Arizona's 2019 draft class.

Mostly contained to special teams
Sherfield played one snap on offense and 11 special-teams plays during Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Aside from downing a punt in the third quarter, Sherfield didn't make an appearance on the official play-by-play chart. While he's been active for all 12 of the Cardinals' contests this season, he's also put up zeroes in the box score in every outing aside from a four-game stretch Weeks 4 through 7. With offensive snaps difficult to come by, Sherfield's output has therefore been minimal.

No production again Week 11
Sherfield played four of 69 offensive snaps and 15 more plays on special teams during Sunday's 36-26 defeat in San Francisco.
Analysis: After posting exactly one catch in four consecutive games between Weeks 4 and 7, Sherfield's role has dried up, as he's failed to reel in any of his four targets in the Cardinals' subsequent four contests. In that same stretch, rookies KeeSean Johnson and Andy Isabella have served as the team's most-used outside receivers. Arizona is on bye Week 12, but when it gets back on the field Sunday, Dec. 1 versus the Rams, Sherfield isn't much of a candidate to contribute.

Sparse role of late
Sherfield logged just six of 70 offensive snaps during Sunday's 30-27 loss at Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Sherfield had a five-game stretch Weeks 4 through 8 in which he played between 52 and 84 percent of the snaps on offense. However, he didn't produce much with the elevated role, gathering in four of 10 targets for 80 yards and no touchdowns. On Sunday, Sherfield was blanked for the third straight outing, while rookie outside receivers KeeSean Johnson (53 percent) and Andy Isabella (37 percent) led the way at the position, and Damiere Byrd was a healthy scratch. Currently, Sherfield appears to…read more
