Devin Funchess Fantasy Stats

Detroit Lions tight end Devin Funchess hauled in all four of his targets during Friday's preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons. He finished with 19 yards and was also on the receiving end of Detroit's lone passing touchdown. Funchess hasn't played a regular-season snap since Week 1 of the 2019 season, but he has converted from wide receiver to tight end and remains persistent in his attempt to secure a roster spot. With the Lions committing roster spots to T.J. Hockenson and a blocking tight end, Funchess is vying for the third and final tight end role in Detroit's offense. He doesn't possess the youth that James Mitchell does, but he still has a chance to sneak onto the roster with a strong preseason showing.

The Detroit Lions signed free-agent wide receiver Devin Funchess to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday and moved him to tight end. Funchess hasn't played in an NFL games since 2019 with the Indianapolis Colts, and he was released by the Green Bay Packers last August with an injury settlement before briefly joining the San Francisco 49ers practice squad. The 28-year-old will be attempting to make a comeback as a tight end in Detroit, and he'll be competing for a roster spot in training camp next month. T.J. Hockenson is the team's unquestioned No. 1 pass-catching tight end, and they also have names like Brock Wright, rookies James Mitchell, Nolan Givan and Derrick Deese Jr., Garrett Griffin and Shane Zylstra at the position.

The San Francisco 49ers released wide receiver Devin Funchess (undisclosed) from the practice squad injured list Monday. He was placed on the 49ers practice squad injured list last Tuesday and ultimately released from the team on Monday. Funchess hasn't played a game since 2019 and has now been released by two teams in 2021. The Packers released the 27-year-old from Injured Reserve with an injury settlement during the offseason. Funchess will look to latch onto another team, searching for receiver depth purposes.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Devin Funchess (undisclosed) was placed on the team's practice squad injured list Tuesday. He was added to the 49ers' practice squad last Tuesday. The Packers released the 27-year-old from Injured Reserve with an injury settlement during the offseason. He has appeared in one game since 2019 and was added by the 49ers for depth purposes. Funchess opted out of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It's unclear at this time what's ailing Funchess and how much time he will miss. The former Carolina Panther is not on the fantasy radar even if he does get promoted to the active roster later in the season.

The San Francisco 49ers added free-agent wide receiver Devin Funchess to their practice squad on Tuesday. The Packers released the 27-year-old from Injured Reserve with an injury settlement during the offseason. He has appeared in one game since 2019 and was added by the 49ers for depth purposes. Funchess opted out of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The former second-round pick has caught 164 passes for 2,265 yards and 21 touchdowns over five seasons with the Panthers/Colts. Funchess is not on the fantasy radar in 2021 and can be left on the waiver wire.

The Green Bay Packers released wide receiver Devin Funchess (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Friday with an injury settlement. Funchess is now a free agent and will look to latch on with another organization. The extent of his injury isn't quite known, but teams won't exactly be lining up to take a chance on the 27-year-old pass-catcher. Funchess opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 and played in just one game before suffering an injury in 2019 in his lone season with the Indianapolis Colts. He posted a career-high 840 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on 63 catches (111 targets) in 2017 with the Carolina Panthers, but that's been his lone standout campaign in five NFL seasons.

The Green Bay Packers placed wide receiver Devin Funchess (hamstring) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Funchess had a breakout with the Carolina Panthers with 840 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in 2017, but the 27-year-old has played in just 15 games since then after not playing at all in 2020 due to COVID-19. The Packers have plenty of capable bodies at the receiver position, so Funchess probably wouldn't have seen much playing time, even if he had made the final roster out of training camp. With Funchess out of the picture this year, rookie Amari Rodgers could push veteran Randall Cobb for No. 4 targets behind Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Allen Lazard.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Devin Funchess walked out of the team's first preseason game as one of the highlights. The veteran was playing his first game-action snaps since breaking his collarbone in 2019 and caught a team-high six catches for 70 yards. Funchess opted out of last season and looked to have a spring in his step playing with mostly the second-team offense. He made some excellent grabs, including a couple of wildly off-target throws from backup quarterback Jordan Love that turned into completions thanks to Funchess. The veteran will need to continue this type of production if he intends on making the final roster.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Devin Funchess caught six passes for a team-high 70 yards in the team's first exhibition game of the season against the Texans. The veteran is trying to get his career back on track and this was a positive step in that direction. He led the team with eight targets and caught passes on a combination of routes from backup quarterbacks Jordan Love and Kurt Benkert. Funchess does not possess game-breaking speed but brings route-running savvy and red zone guile to an already potent offense. More performances like this should give him a very strong shot to make the regular season roster.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Devin Funchess will head into training camp hoping to earn a roster spot in 2021. The 27-year-old's production has been on the steep decline the past two seasons, as injuries have sapped his speed. Funchess played in only one game last season for the Colts and is far removed from catching eight touchdowns and posting 840 receiving yards in 2017 for the Panthers. Funchess still could have enough in the tank to become a contributor this season but health and opportunity will be key during preseason action.
