Willie Snead IV News
The Carolina Panthers signed former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Willie Snead IV to their practice squad on Wednesday, according to a source. Snead was released by Las Vegas on Tuesday and quickly finds a home. The Panthers also added former New York Jets second-round receiver Devin Smith to the practice squad on Wednesday. Rookie wideout Terrace Marshall Jr. (concussion) is in danger of missing another game in Week 8 against the Atlanta Falcons, but Snead and Smith will just be providing receiving depth behind D.J. Moore, Robby Anderson, rookie Shi Smith and Alex Erickson. Snead can continue to be ignored in all fantasy formats.
The Las Vegas Raiders released wide receiver Willie Snead IV on Tuesday. Snead "wasn't playing much and asked for the release," according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. The 29-year-old pass-catcher caught just three of five targets for 32 yards in his seven games with the Raiders this year, with his 15% of the offensive snaps in the Week 7 win over the Philadelphia Eagles being his highest percentage of snaps in 2021. Snead could latch on with another team's practice squad or as depth on an active roster, but he's highly unlikely to become a major contributor elsewhere. The Raiders will continue to use Hunter Renfrow, Henry Ruggs III and Bryan Edwards as their top three receivers after their bye in Week 8.
The Las Vegas Raiders signed veteran free-agent wide receiver Willie Snead IV to an undisclosed deal on Friday. Snead is entering his eighth season in the league and his first in the AFC West. The 28-year-old spent the last three years with the Baltimore Ravens after short stints with the Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers. He spent three full seasons with the New Orleans Saints. Snead started 29 of 45 games with Baltimore, catching 126 passes for 1,422 yards and nine touchdowns. Snead and John Brown, formerly teammates in Baltimore, were signed to help replace the production offset by the loss of Nelson Agholor. The Raiders also have Henry Ruggs III, Hunter Renfrow and Bryan Edwards, so Snead should be ignored in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.
