Dede Westbrook Fantasy Stats

The Green Bay Packers signed wide receiver Dede Westbrook to their practice squad on Tuesday. The 29-year-old last played in 2021 as a member of the Vikings, finishing that season with ten receptions for 68 yards. He spent the first four seasons of his career in Jacksonville, three of which he was productive in. Green Bay is desperate for help at the wide receiver position given the litany of injuries they've suffered, but the former Jaguar is unlikely to make much impact even if he is able to crack the active roster.

Free-agent wide receiver and return specialist Dede Westbrook is working out for the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday. The 28-year-old played four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars before landing with the Vikings last year, where he totaled 68 receiving yards on 10 catches. He also returned 22 punts for 183 yards, and it seems that would be his primary role if Minnesota were to bring him back. Ian Rapoport reported that a few other teams are also interested in Westbrook and that he is expected to sign somewhere in the coming days. His last notable year as a receiver came in 2019 when he cleared 100 targets (101) with 66 catches for 660 yards and three scores as a Jaguar. He would only have fantasy value if he lands somewhere as at least the third receiving option, which would not be the case in Minnesota behind wide receivers Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, and K.J. Osborn.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Dede Westbrook (ankle) is officially inactive on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys after coming into the Week 8 contest with a questionable tag. Westbrook has been far from the fantasy radar this season, as he has only seven receptions on nine targets for 59 yards in six games played for Minnesota. Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and K.J. Osborn will remain the team's top three pass-catchers in the Sunday night matchup with Dallas. Rookie Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Dan Chisena will battle for snaps as the No. 4 wideout with Westbrook out of action this week.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught one pass for 17 yards in the Vikings loss to the Browns in Week 4. It has been a very quiet beginning to Westbrook's Vikings career and caught his first pass since Week 1. The veteran is still perhaps trying to get up to game speed after tearing his ACL last season. Westbrook is not fantasy viable as he sits firmly behind Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and K.J. Osborn on the team's wide receiver depth chart.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Dede Westbrook (knee), who is recovering from a torn ACL last October, was a full practice participant on Wednesday. Westbrook said on Aug. 6 that he "most definitely" would be ready for the season-opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, and it's looking like he was right. It's good news for Westbrook and the Vikings, but it's unclear what role/how big of one Westbrook will have on offense. K.J. Osborn is the favorite for No. 3 duties behind Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen after he impressed during the preseason. Westbrook must stay healthy and surpass Osborn on the receiver depth chart before fantasy managers will take notice.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Dede Westbrook hopes to produce for his new team in Week 1 against the Bengals. Westbrook was a late addition to the team's offense and missed most of camp rehabbing a torn ACL. When healthy, Westbrook can be a very productive slot receiver. But fantasy teams need patience as the Vikings most likely decide to work Westbrook slowly into the offensive flow. Westbrook could be worth a stash roster spot in deeper leagues but is not worth playing him in starting lineups for Week 1.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Dede Westbrook (knee) practiced in full for the first time this season on Thursday. Westbrook has been rehabbing from a torn ACL suffered last season and has yet been able to be full-go in a practice. Westbrook participated in the team's 11-on-11 drills and his addition to the offense could add an intriguing dimension. The veteran is known mostly as a slot receiver and, if healthy, adds another seasoned weapon to an offense that features Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen. Westbrook may not be ready for game action but is trending in the right direction.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Dede Westbrook (knee) still has not participated in a full practice with the team. Westbrook is still recovering from a torn ACL last season and the clock is beginning to tick as to whether the receiver will need to start the season on the IR. The Vikings already have several players locked onto the roster like Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, K.J. Osborn but there are still several spots to fill. Westbrook has the talent to contribute but time may not be on his side if he hopes to help the team out through the first portion of the regular season.

The Minnesota Vikings have signed free-agent wide receiverDede Westbrook to a contract for this season. Westbrook has played his entire career for the Jaguars and is coming off a season where he played in only two games after tearing his ACL. The 27-year-old averaged 66 receptions for 688.5 yards the two seasons previous with eight touchdowns. If healthy, Westbrook could add an intriguing slot dynamic, playing alongside breakout star Justin Jefferson and veteran Adam Thielen. His fantasy value, however, will struggle to ascend above a WR6/7 when draft time comes around. UPDATE: head coach Mike Zimmer said that Westbrook is "ready to go" in training camp after suffering his ACL injury last October.

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed wide receiver Dede Westbrook (knee) on Injured Reserve on Monday after he suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Week 7 loss to the Chargers. The team activated defensive end/linebacker Aaron Lynch to the active roster after he came out of retirement in a corresponding move. Westbrook was believed to have suffered a torn ACL during a kickoff return on Sunday. The fourth-year receiver was buried on the depth chart in 2020 behind the likes of D.J. Chark Jr., rookie Laviska Shenault Jr., Keelan Cole and Chris Conley, which is why he caught just one pass for four yards in his two games this season. Even in dynasty/keeper leagues, Westbrook isn't worth holding onto.
