Willie Snead IV

Willie Snead IV has been elevated from San Francisco's practice squad ahead of their matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact

Snead has been on-and-off San Francisco's roster all season, but he will be elevated for Thursday and will have a chance to find the field. This move likely comes as a result of Deebo Samuel injuring his ankle last week, with the team wanting to have more depth against Seattle. The veteran will play that role, but he likely won't get much play time and doesn't have much fantasy value for Thursday night.

Willie Snead IV was released by the San Francisco 49ers on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Snead has been cut by San Francisco just one day after playing in their win over the Los Angeles Rams. He failed to log a catch in that game, and he didn't give the team much of a reason to keep him around. He could end up back on San Francisco's practice squad or on another team in the near future.

The 49ers signed Willie Snead off their practice squad to the active roster.

Fantasy Impact

With Deebo Samuel already ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Rams and Jauan Jennings questionable, the 49ers need all the wide receiving depth they can get. It's unlikely that he'll play a significant role with the team, given that he signed with the practice squad just a few weeks ago, but he'll have a chance to earn a role if he comes up with a big performance against a division rival. Don't consider Snead as a fantasy option at this point.

Willie Snead IV has been released by the San Fransisco 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Snead was elevated to the 49ers' active roster Monday, but will only spend 1 game with the team. Snead had just 4 catches for 38 yards with the Panthers and Raiders in 2021.

The 49ers released WR Willie Snead from their practice squad Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Snead only tallied 38 yards on four receptions last season with Carolina. The 29-year-old may get another chance with a practice squad, but will not hold any fantasy value this season.
