29-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Arizona Cardinals
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sherfield signed a two-year deal with the Broncos this offseason after spending the 2024 campaign in Minnesota racking up a disappointing eight catches for 83 yards and one touchdown. The eight-year veteran joins a talented and young wideout corps featuring the likes of Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims, Devaughn Vele, Troy Franklin and rookie Pat Bryant. Sherfield will compete for a rotational role in Denver's offense while also contributing on special teams, a role he excelled in with the Vikings. Read Past Outlooks

Elevated for Week 14
WRArizona Cardinals
December 6, 2025
The Cardinals elevated Sherfield from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With Marvin Harrison (heel) ruled out, Greg Dortch (chest) placed on IR, and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) listed as questionable, Sherfield is in line to be the second wide receiver behind Michael Wilson for Sunday's contest. This marks the 29-year-old's first practice squad elevation of the season, so the Cardinals would be able to elevate him twice more before needing to sign him to the active roster.

2019
In 17 regular-season games with the Bills in 2023, Sherfield caught 11 of his 22 targets for 86 yards and one touchdown. After signing a one-year, $1.79 million contract that includes a $400,000 signing bonus with the Vikings, the 28-year-old figures to compete with Brandon Powell and Jalen Nailor for the third receiver role.
The Bills are Sherfield's fourth team in as many years. The 27-year-old is coming off his best season as a pro in 2022, during which he hauled in 30 passes for 417 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games with the Dolphins, all career high marks. This coming season he'll compete for Buffalo's number three receiver role behind Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. His competition for targets includes Khalil Shahir, Deonte Harty and rookie Justin Shorter.
Sherfield hasn't reached the 100-yard receiving mark since his rookie season back in 2018, but he boasts familiarity with coach Mike McDaniel's scheme after spending 2021 in San Francisco. Keeping in mind Miami's top-heavy wide receiver corps, however, it seems all but guaranteed that the bulk of Sherfield's contributions occur on special teams.
An undrafted free agent in 2018, Sherfield ended his rookie year with some decent tape, recording 19 catches (on 28 targets) for 210 yards and one touchdown across the last seven games. That was under a different coaching staff, though. With Kliff Kingsbury calling the shots last season, Sherfield had a spell from Weeks 4-8 as a regular in the offense. Otherwise, he was active every week but primarily contained to special teams. The Cardinals boast a top-heavy receiving corps composed of offseason acquisition DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk and Larry Fitzgerald. Beyond that trio, second-year wideouts Andy Isabella, Hakeem Butler and KeeSean Johnson likely have the inside track to any lingering snaps, which may make it difficult for Sherfield to land a spot on the 53-man roster.
An undrafted rookie last season, Sherfield worked his way into a Cardinals wide receiver rotation that was deficient in talent beyond Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk. Sherfield especially made an impact after the team's Week 9 bye, going for 7.5 YPT and a 67.9 percent catch rate on 28 targets. With a new coaching staff in town, GM Steve Keim made a point of addressing the position to suit Kliff Kingsbury's system, using draft picks on Andy Isabella, Hakeem Butler and KeeSean Johnson. All three will have learning curves, though, which could give Sherfield a chance to contribute in the early parts of the campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could challenge for No. 3 role
WRMinnesota Vikings
July 18, 2024
Sherfield, who signed with the Vikings this offseason, could challenge for the team's open No. 3 receiver role this summer, Kevin Patra of NFL.com suggests.
ANALYSIS
The well-traveled veteran wideout has topped out at 30 receptions, 417 receiving yards and two touchdowns in terms of single-season highs, but he's proven durable and has solid size at 6-foot-1, 205 pounds. The formidable frame is complemented by impressive speed that Patra points out could be the key to Sherfield vaulting over incumbents Brandon Powell and Jalen Nailor for the No. 3 receiver role.
