The Bills signed Sherfield to a one-year contract Monday.
What it means:
Sherfield stays in the AFC East after putting together a career-best 30-417-2 receiving line in 17 games with the Dolphins last season. Part of Sherfield's success in 2022 could have been due to his familiarity with Miami coach Mike McDaniel's scheme, as the two spent time together in San Francisco, but his arrival provides the Bills with a reliable veteran presence behind top wideouts Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis.
Sherfield secured 30 of 51 targets for 417 and two touchdowns across 17 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2022.
What it means:
Sherfield put together the best campaign of his five-year career in his inaugural season with the Dolphins, an outcome that was no doubt assisted by his familiarity with coach Mike McDaniel's scheme from their time together in San Francisco. He established himself as a trustworthy No. 3 wideout down the stretch of the 2022 season, so though Sherfield will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, the Dolphins could have real motivation to re-sign him as reliable depth behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Sherfield was not targeted during Sunday's 11-6 win over the Jets.
What it means:
Sherfield didn't draw a target from Skylar Thompson despite having been involved enough Week 17 to draw six looks. As such, the regular-season finale counts as Sherfield's first game of the 2022 regular season without a target. He could be more involved in the wild-card matchup against Buffalo, especially if the Dolphins have Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) or Teddy Bridgewater back under center.
Sherfield secured two of six targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Patriots.
What it means:
Sherfield tied his single-game target record this season with a combination of Teddy Bridgewater (finger) and Skylar Thompson under center Sunday. While he wasn't efficient with increased volume, Sherfield could be a sneaky fantasy option for Week 18's regular-season finale against the Jets dependent on the health of Miami's quarterback position, as if Thompson is back under center a similar gameplan could be deployed.
Sherfield caught both of his targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 26-20 loss to Green Bay.
What it means:
Sherfield once again handled a key complementary role for Miami's offense, though his usage didn't translate to fantasy production. With just two touchdowns on the year, and only three games with at least 50 receiving yards, Sherfield can only be considered a fantasy dart throw with a divisional matchup against the Patriots on deck Week 17.
Sherfield could not secure his only target during Saturday's 32-29 loss to the Bills.
What it means:
Sherfield had seen 17 targets in his last four games prior to Saturday's loss, so his lack of involvement could have been partially due to adverse weather conditions. The Dolphins get a home matchup against the Packers in Week 16, but Sherfield's fantasy relevance is still restricted to extremely deep formats.
