Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Not likely to practice this week
Rotowire
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.
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.

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Placed on IR
Rotowire
The Chargers placed Fehoko (elbow) on injured reserve Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Fehoko injured his elbow during Sunday's win over the Browns and will now miss at least four games. His earliest possible date for a return will be Week 14 at Kansas City, 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.

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Suiting up Monday
Rotowire
Fehoko (shoulder/groin) is listed as active Monday at Arizona.
After opening Week 7 prep dealing with shoulder and groin injuries, Fehoko got back to full practice participation Friday and Saturday. He'll mix in at wide receiver for the Chargers along with Brenden Rice and Jalen Reagor behind Joshua Palmer and Ladd McConkey. In five appearances this season, Fehoko has hauled in three of seven targets for 61 yards.

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Full practice Friday
Rotowire
Fehoko (shoulder/groin) practiced fully Friday.
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. He 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).

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Tallies two receptions
Rotowire
Fehoko caught two of his four targets for 44 yards in the 23-17 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
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 the fantasy radar for the majority of formats.

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

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Lands deal from Chargers
Rotowire
The Chargers signed Fehoko to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Following Mike Williams' season-ending torn ACL early in the season, Fehoko got some run on offense for the Bolts, playing in six games and catching a nine-yard touchdown on two targets. The former fifth-round pick of the Cowboys will compete for a depth job in the offseason.

Simi Fehoko: Let go by Chargers
Rotowire
Fehoko was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday.
Fehoko will head to waivers after hauling in one of two targets for nine yards and a touchdown in six games played this season. The 2021 fifth-round pick can contribute on both offense and special teams and will now look for another opportunity with a new team.

Chargers' Simi Fehoko: Healthy scratch in Week 13
Rotowire
Fehoko (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
The 26-year-old wideout seems to have fallen down Los Angeles' depth chart, as the team signed Alex Erickson to its active roster Saturday, and he'll suit up over Fehoko in Week 13. Fehoko has appeared in six games for the Chargers this season, catching one of his two targets for nine yards and one touchdown.

Simi Fehoko: Heading to Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Fehoko signed with the Steelers' practice squad Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Fehoko was waived by the Cowboys on Tuesday, and he will now head to Pittsburgh ahead of the 2023 campaign. The wide receiver appeared in five games with Dallas in 2022, reeling in three catches for 24 yards over 34 offensive snaps.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Dealing with quad injury
Rotowire
Fehoko suffered a quad contusion during Monday's practice and didn't participate Tuesday, but he should return later in the week, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Fehoko's injury appears minor, so there shouldn't be any concern about his availability for preseason action. The 2021 fifth-round pick has impressed during offseason work and is vying for the fourth wide receiver spot on Dallas' depth chart with Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Allowed to resume practicing
Rotowire
The Cowboys designated Fehoko (shoulder) to return from injured reserve Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Fehoko was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury back on Oct. 15, but Thursday now accounts as the second-year wide receiver's first opportunity to resume practicing and possibly join Dallas' active roster prior to Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the 49ers. If Fehoko is eventually promoted prior to this weekend's contest, he likely won't top 10 offensive snaps.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Logs full participation
Rotowire
Fehoko (shoulder) was listed as a full participant during Dallas' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Fehoko recorded one reception (one target) for 12 yards over two offensive snaps before exiting Monday's win over the Giants with a shoulder injury. While the Cowboys did not hold a full practice Wednesday, the second-year wideout seems to have quickly overcome this issue. Fehoko has played 23 offensive snaps through the first three games of the season, though his usage could diminish even further if Michael Gallup, who is nearing a return from his torn ACL, is available to play in Week 4.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Fehoko (shoulder) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Giants, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports
Fehoko recorded one reception (one target) for 12 yards before sustaining a shoulder injury at some point during Monday's contest, though the exact nature and severity of this issue are still unclear. In the second-year wideout's absence, Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin should see increased targets in Week 3.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Snags TD against Seattle
Rotowire
Fehoko caught two of five targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason game against the Seahawks.
The 2021 fifth-round pick wasn't exactly consistent in this contest, but the same could be said for the entire Dallas passing game, as a patchwork offensive line couldn't give the team's quarterbacks many clean pockets. Fehoko was on the other end of a one-yard TD toss from Will Grier in the second quarter on a designed rollout though, and overall he has looked much more comfortable heading into his second NFL campaign. Fehoko will be competing with Jalen Tolbert, Noah Brown (toe), Dennis Houston and KaVontae Turpin for snaps and targets behind CeeDee Lamb (foot) in Week 1, as that group of unproven wideouts tries to secure spots on the depth chart before Michael Gallup (knee) and James Washington (foot) return to action.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Returns from COVID list
Rotowire
Fehoko was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
While Fehoko now has the opportunity to play Week 17, that doesn't mean he will, as he's been a healthy scratch each of the last three games. If he does suit up, whatever playing time he gets will likely come on special teams.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Lands on reserve/COVID-19 list
Rotowire
Fehoko was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, per Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News.
Fehoko was a healthy scratch in each of the previous two weeks, so his probable absence this Sunday isn't likely to disrupt Dallas' game plan. The rookie receiver will need to clear league protocols before he is able to rejoin the team.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Inactive for Week 15
Rotowire
Fehoko (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Fehoko will be in street clothes for the second straight week with Dallas mostly at full strength at receiver with the exception of depth option Noah Brown (groin), who was moved to injured reserve earlier this month. The rookie fifth-round pick out of Stanford is the clear No. 6 man on the depth chart at the moment with all of CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, Cedrick Wilson and Malik Turner firmly ahead of him.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: No injury designation for Week 3
Rotowire
Fehoko (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Eagles, Armando Salguero of Outkick reports.
The same is true of fellow wide receiver Amari Cooper (ribs), so Fehoko's unlikely to play a role in Dallas' passing attack. The rookie fifth-round pick is yet to play a snap on offense in his career, having been limited exclusively to special teams duties through two weeks.
