Willie Snead IV Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Willie Snead IV has been elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. This doesn't come as a surprise with Deebo Samuel (hamstring) out and Jauan Jennings (hamstring) listed as questionable for this contest. The 30-year-old has seen success in the past, but Snead hasn't caught a pass this season. That being said, he won't be a recommended fantasy option in any formats. The 49ers have other options on offense, so it's unlikely that Snead gets heavily involved.

The San Francisco 49ers promoted wide receivers Willie Snead IV and Malik Turner and running back Tevin Coleman from the practice squad to the active roster for Monday night's game against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. Snead and Turner will be battling for a depth role among the likes of Jauan Jennings and Ray-Ray McCloud behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk on Monday night. Meanwhile, Coleman will provide depth to a banged-up Niners backfield with Elijah Mitchell (knee) on Injured Reserve and rookie Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle) out for another week. Jeff Wilson Jr. will remain the team's primary back against the Rams, with rookie Jordan Mason and Marlon Mack behind him.

The San Francisco 49ers signed wide receiver Willie Snead to their practice squad on Wednesday. Snead will return to the team's practice squad after he was released by the team at the beginning of August. The 29-year-old veteran pass-catcher played in nine games with the Carolina Panthers and Las Vegas Raiders in 2021, catching only four of eight targets for 38 scoreless yards. Snead will merely be serving as wideout depth in San Francisco behind Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, rookie Danny Gray and Ray-Ray McCloud III. He's well off the fantasy radar.
