Vikings' Trent Sherfield: Joining Minnesota WR corps
Rotowire
The Vikings are set to sign Sherfield to a one-year deal, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
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.

Bills' Trent Sherfield: Active for Week 11
Rotowire
Sherfield (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Jets, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
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.

Bills' Trent Sherfield: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Sherfield (ankle) is questionable to return to Buffalo's game versus the Broncos on Monday.
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.

Bills' Trent Sherfield: Makes initial roster
Rotowire
Sherfield remains on the Bills' roster following this week's cutdowns.
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.

Bills' Trent Sherfield: Making case for spot
Rotowire
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.
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.

Dolphins' Trent Sherfield: Enjoys career year
Rotowire
Sherfield secured 30 of 51 targets for 417 yards and two touchdowns across 17 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2022.
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 Jaylen Waddle.

Dolphins' Trent Sherfield: Secures both targets
Rotowire
Sherfield caught both of his targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 26-20 loss to Green Bay.
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.

Dolphins' Trent Sherfield: Just one catch on SNF
Rotowire
Sherfield had one reception (four targets) for seven yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Chargers.
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 Saturday.

Dolphins' Trent Sherfield: Scores long TD
Rotowire
Sherfield's only catch on three targets went for a 75-yard touchdown in Sunday's 33-17 loss to the 49ers.
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.

Dolphins' Trent Sherfield: Pair of grabs in win
Rotowire
Sherfield secured two of five targets for 33 yards in the Dolphins' 30-15 win over the Texans on Sunday.
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.

Dolphins' Trent Sherfield: Productive in win over Browns
Rotowire
Sherfield secured four of five targets for 63 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 39-17 win over the Browns.
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 has played more than 50 percent of offensive snaps in eight straight games, and it's possible that he could continue to see more regular looks after the Dolphins return from a bye. In deeper fantasy formats, the 26-year-old warrants monitoring, as he should be available on the vast majority of waiver wires when Miami takes on Houston in Week 12.

Dolphins' Trent Sherfield: Listed as active Sunday
Rotowire
Sherfield (toe) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
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. In a Week 9 win over the Bears, Sherfield caught all three of his targets for 27 yards nd has put together an 18/184/0 receiving line through nine contests overall.

Dolphins' Trent Sherfield: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
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.
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. Sherfield has settled in as the Dolphins' No. 3 wideout behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but he has yet to reach the end zone this season and has topped out at four receptions and 55 receiving yards over his nine appearances.

Dolphins' Trent Sherfield: Racks up 25 yards
Rotowire
Sherfield secured two of three targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 31-27 win over the Lions.
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.

Dolphins' Trent Sherfield: Only one catch
Rotowire
Sherfield secured one of two targets for five yards during 40-17 loss to the Jets.
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.

Dolphins' Trent Sherfield: Plays 20 snaps in team debut
Rotowire
Sherfield caught one of two targets for eight yards during Sunday's 20-7 win over the Patriots.
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.

Dolphins' Trent Sherfield: Lands in Miami
Rotowire
The Dolphins are signing Sherfield to a one-year contract Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
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.

49ers' Trent Sherfield: One catch in Week 18
Rotowire
Sherfield caught his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Rams.
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.

49ers' Trent Sherfield: First catch in weeks
Rotowire
Sherfield caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over Houston.
Sherfield was on the field for eight offensive snaps (13 percent), which is in line with the amount of playing time he has been receiving at No. 4 on the depth chart. 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. The two players showed some rapport during the preseason, when they connected on two long plays from scrimmage. It's unclear whether Lance will get another start or if Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) will heal before next week's tilt against the Rams, but Sherfield won't see enough playing time to make a fantasy impact, even if one quarterback prefers him over the other.

49ers' Trent Sherfield: Logs 13 offensive snaps
Rotowire
Sherfield played 13 snaps on offense Sunday but did not receive a target in a 26-23 overtime win over the Bengals.
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.
