SIMI FEHOKO NEWS

Finds home in desert Fehoko signed a contract with the Cardinals on Friday.

Impact Fehoko handled a greater role than anticipated in his eight regular-season appearances with the Chargers last year, in which he logged six catches (on 16 targets) for 106 yards. He missed the last 10 weeks of the regular season due to an elbow injury, but made a return in time for Los Angeles' wild-card round loss to Houston. Fehoko will now compete for a depth role in Arizona's wide receiver corps.

Has injury shortened campaign Fehoko played in eight regular-season games, making six catches on 16 targets for 106 yards.

Impact Fehoko saw more work than expected in 2024 due to injuries in the Chargers' receiving corps before he suffered one of his own. The Stanford product missed the final nine regular-season games due to an elbow injury that involved a stint on injured reserve, before returning for a wild card loss to the Texans. The 27-year-old will now enter free agency, assuming he does not re-sign with the Chargers before the start of the new league year in March.

Good to go for wild-card game Fehoko (elbow) is active for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Texans.

Impact Fehoko was activated from IR on Friday after missing the final 10 contests of the regular season due to an elbow issue. The fourth-year wideout will provide important receiver depth for Los Angeles on Saturday with Joshua Palmer (foot) unable to suit up. That said, Fehoko will likely be fifth on the wideout depth chart Saturday behind Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, DJ Chark and Derius Davis, so he may not log more than a minor offensive snap count.

Comes off IR The Chargers activated Fehoko (elbow) from IR on Friday.

Impact Fehoko is still listed as questionable for Saturday's road AFC wild-card matchup against the Texans, but his activation from IR is a necessary step in order for him to take the field. With Joshua Palmer (foot) ruled out versus Houston, and Quentin Johnston (thigh) expected to play through injury, Fehoko's availability as a depth wideout could be a notable help for the Chargers.

Questionable for wild-card round Fehoko (elbow), who still remains on injury reserve, practiced in full Thursday and is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's road wild-card round matchup against the Tex...

Impact Fehoko had his 21-day practice window opened Tuesday, and he's since logged a LP-FP-FP activity pattern. He'll need to be activated from IR in order to be eligible to play Saturday, but it looks like the depth wideout could be able to contribute during Los Angeles' road wild-card clash at Houston.

Logs limited practice in return Fehoko (elbow) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

Impact Fehoko was placed on injured reserve Nov. 6 due to an elbow injury he suffered in Week 9 against the Browns. His 21-day window to return from IR opened Tuesday, but his limited participation in practice indicates he still has a ways to go in his recovery before returning to play. Fehoko would have to be activated off IR in order to play in Saturday's wild-card round game against the Texans.

Practice window opens The Chargers announced Tuesday that Fehoko (elbow) has had his 21-day window to return from IR opened, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Fehoko could potentially return from IR as early as Saturday's wild-card round playoff matchup against the Texans. Once cleared to retake the field, Fehoko will stand to contribute in a depth role in the Chargers' wide receiver corps.

Not likely to practice this week Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that he doesn't expect Fehoko's (elbow) practice window to open this week, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Impact Fehoko has been on IR since Nov. 6 due to an elbow issue. He's now eligible to be activated, but it doesn't sound like that's going to happen this week. Fehoko had been getting occasional good run prior to his injury, playing at least 73 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps in three of his eight games, but he was inefficient with just six catches on 16 targets -- though he turned those receptions into 106 yards -- over eight games.

Placed on IR The Chargers placed Fehoko (elbow) on injured reserve Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Fehoko was injured during Sunday's win over the Browns and will now miss at least four games. His earliest possible date for a return is Week 14 at Kansas City (Dec. 8), with the upcoming absence potentially freeing up more snaps for Joshua Palmer, DJ Chark (groin), Jalen Reagor and/or Derius Davis. Rookie Ladd McConkey is locked in as the No. 1 target, with Quentin Johnston having also been a regular starter when healthy.

Exits with elbow injury Fehoko is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Browns due to an elbow injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Fehoko failed to bring in his only target prior to exiting the game. The severity of his elbow injury is unknown at this time.

Held catchless in win Fehoko failed to secure his two targets in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Saints.

Impact Fehoko played 79 of the Chargers' offensive snaps Sunday, the highest snap rate of any Los Angeles wideout. Despite leading the wide receiver corps in snaps, the 26-year-old was a complete non-factor against the Saints. The Chargers identity as a run-first team has shifted a bit in recent weeks, but not enough to support multiple wide receivers for fantasy purposes. With Ladd McConkey beginning to break out and Quentin Johnston's (ankle) impending return, Fehoko will remain far off the fantasy radar going forward. The Chargers will visit the Browns in Week 9.

Three grabs in loss Fehoko secured three of his six targets for 45 yards in Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Fehoko played 92 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps Sunday, his highest mark of the season and the most of any Los Angeles wideout in the contest. The fourth-year wideout also saw six targets, another season-high for the 26-year-old. Despite his increased involvement in the offense, Fehoko was unable to make much noise for fantasy purposes against Arizona. Heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Saints, Fehoko remains an unreliable fantasy option in a run-heavy offensive scheme.

Suiting up Monday Fehoko (shoulder/groin) is listed as active Monday at Arizona.

Impact After opening Week 7 prep with a limited listing due to shoulder and groin injuries, Fehoko got back to full participation Friday and Saturday but still was listed as questionable for Monday's game. With his active status confirmed, he'll mix in at wide receiver for the Chargers along with Brenden Rice and Jalen Reagor behind Joshua Palmer and Ladd McConkey with Quentin Johnston (ankle) and Derius Davis (hamstring) sidelined. In five appearances this season, Fehoko has hauled in three of seven targets for 61 yards.

Carries questionable desgination Fehoko (shoulder/groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Cardinals.

Impact Fehoko was a full participant in both Friday and Saturday's practice, so it's probably fair to assume the fourth-year wide receiver should be available for Monday. Fehoko's status bears some bit of consequence given Quentin Johnston (ankle) and Hayden Hurst (groin) are both doubtful, while wide receivers Ladd McConkey (hip), D.J. Chark (groin) and Derius Davis (hamstring) are all listed as questionable. Fehoko did catch two passes for 44 yards last week in the absence of Johnston, and he could see more opportunities in this Los Angeles wide receiver room ravaged by injuries.

OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Full practice Friday Fehoko (shoulder/groin) practiced fully Friday.

Impact Fehoko was estimated as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, but his full participation in Friday's session paves the way for him to suit up Monday night against the Cardinals. Fehoko has just three catches on seven targets for 61 yards in five games to date, but two of those catches (for 44 yards) occurred in the Chargers' win over the Broncos in Week 6, when Fehoko saw a season-high 51 percent snap share. Ultimately, his Week 7 fantasy upside hinges on the availability of fellow WRs Quentin Johnston (ankle, DNP on Friday) and Ladd McConkey (hip, LP on Friday).

Nursing shoulder injury Fehoko (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session.

Impact Fehoko played a season-high 37 snaps in Week 6 against the Broncos and finished the game with two catches (on four targets) for 44 yards. However, it appears the 2021 fifth-round pick may have picked up a shoulder injury during the contest, which limited him in practice Thursday. Fehoko will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals.

OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies two receptions Fehoko caught two of his four targets for 44 yards in the 23-17 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Impact Quentin Johnston was in and out of the game with an ankle injury, so Fehoko ended up taking more of the work opposite usual stalwart Ladd McConkey. He's only played more than 30 snaps twice this season, and given the Chargers' limited passing attack, Fehoko is still outside of the fantasy radar for the majority of formats.

One grab in loss Fehoko caught one of his three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Fehoko played 33 of the Chargers' 46 offensive snaps Sunday with Joshua Palmer (elbow/calf) sidelined for the contest. Despite seeing his highest snap share of the early season, the 26-year-old wideout was unable to get things going while the entire offense struggled against a formidable Steelers defense. Going forward, Fehoko doesn't hold much fantasy value, especially when Palmer can make his return to the lineup. The Chargers host the Chiefs in Week 4.

Hauls in 78-yard TD Fehoko caught both his targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 26-19 preseason win over the Cowboys.

Impact Facing the team he made his NFL debut with in 2021, Fehoko got under a deep pass from Easton Stick on the first play of the second quarter, shed his defender and stayed in bounds before sprinting into the end zone. Fehoko is fighting for one of the last spots on an unsettled wide receiver depth chart following the offseason departures of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams (knee), but even Saturday's big play might not have been enough to claim a job on the season-opening roster. The Stanford product may have to settle for a spot on the Chargers' practice squad instead.
