Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Simi Fehoko caught his first NFL touchdown in a Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears. Fehoko got wide open on a short pass and ran it in for a score in the first quarter on Sunday. Mostly a special teamer, Fehoko played in five games for the Cowboys last season and was playing in his third game as a Charger. Even with the team dealing with some injuries in their wide receiver room, Fehoko can stay on most waiver wires.
Simi Fehoko Logs Three Catches In Preseason Finale
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Simi Fehoko hauled in three of four targets for 30 yards during Saturday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Fehoko is expected to make the Cowboys' 53-man roster, but he could open the year as the No. 5 receiver following Jalen Tolbert's very strong preseason. Regardless of his position on the depth chart, Fehoko doesn't have enough volume or production to put him on the fantasy radar. You should avoid him in all formats.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Simi Fehoko has looked good in organized team activities for the second straight week and also saw plenty of run with quarterback Dak Prescott and the first-team offense. Fehoko is displaying sticky hands and has been running excellent routes, while his speed is deceptive for a player of his size. The 25-year-old will continue to battle with Jalen Tolbert, who appears to be making a second-year jump, for the No. 4 role behind CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and Michael Gallup. There have been sets called in OTAs that see both Tolbert and Fehoko lined up opposite each other on the first team. It's nice to see Dallas developing some interesting receiver depth, but the reality is that neither Fehoko nor Tolbert will have much fantasy value in 2023 unless an injury occurs ahead of them on the depth chart.
Dallas Cowboys wide receivers Simi Fehoko and Noah Brown have been pleasant surprises in training camp since James Washington (foot) went down with injury. Fehoko has consistently come up big in practices, especially in the red zone, using his size and speed to create space on deep balls or to make contested catches in traffic. The 24-year-old only played seven offensive snaps all year and played in just five games as a rookie in 2021, but he looks ready to contribute in Year 2. Considering how thin the Cowboys are at the position with injuries to Washington and Michael Gallup (knee), Fehoko could have a role early on alongside CeeDee Lamb, rookie Jalen Tolbert and Brown.
Jourdan Lewis, Simi Fehoko Placed On COVID-19 List
The Dallas Cowboys added rookie wide receiver Simi Fehoko and nickel cornerback Jourdan Lewis to the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. They will join safety Malik Hooker and defensive tackle Trysten Hill as Cowboys players on the COVID list ahead of the Week 16 game against the Washington Football Team on Sunday night. Because of their placement on the list this late in the week, Fehoko and Lewis are unlikely to play Sunday night. Lewis will miss his first game of the season, and his presence will be missed in the slot, as he's recorded 53 tackles, three interceptions, 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble this year. With Lewis likely out, Kelvin Joseph should see more action as the nickel corner. Fehoko has played only seven offensive snaps in five games in his rookie season.
With the 179th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys have selected Stanford wide receiver Simi Fehoko. The big-bodied receiver had 37 catches last year for 574 yards and three touchdowns. He set the school's single-game reception record with 16 catches against UCLA. The Cowboys have three strong receivers on their team, but with Michael Gallup's future beyond 2021 in question because of financial concerns, Fehoko is an intriguing dynasty stash. He's still got some developing to do with his route running, but the skill is there for him to be a solid outside receiver.
