Until Snead finds meaningful playing time, Fantasy managers shouldn't bother adding him to rosters.

Willie Snead: Injury settlement with Miami
Rotowire
The Dolphins released Snead (undisclosed) from the reserve/injured list Saturday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Snead caught on with Miami in late July after appearing in four regular-season games for the 49ers in 2023. He caught one pass for 13 yards across his two preseason outings with the Dolphins, but he was set to miss the entire 2024 season after being placed on injured reserve Monday. Now that he's been let go with an injury settlement, Snead will be able to sign with another team once he is fully healthy.

Rotowire
The Dolphins placed Snead (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday.
Snead landed with Miami early in training camp, but his placement on injured reserve now rules him out for the entire 2024 season, unless he can reach an injury settlement. The nine-year veteran suited up for four regular-season games with the 49ers back in 2023.

Dolphins' Willie Snead: Inks deal with Miami
Rotowire
The Dolphins signed Snead on Wednesday.
Snead, a nine-year NFL veteran who's spent the majority of his career with the Ravens and Saints, has found a new home in Miami. He played just 70 total snaps in four regular-season games with the 49ers in 2023, so he'll likely be competing for a depth role in the Dolphins' wide receiver room as the preseason progresses.

Snead signed with the 49ers' practice squad Dec. 27 after being let go from the main roster one day earlier.

Willie Snead: Gets waived
Rotowire
The 49ers waived Snead on Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Snead was originally promoted from San Francisco's practice squad to its active roster Monday to fill in for an injured Jauan Jennings (concussion), but Snead is now set to become a free agent assuming he's not claimed by another team during the current waiver period. He has two catches for 14 yards on three targets over four games this season.

49ers' Willie Snead: Signed to active roster
Rotowire
The 49ers signed Snead to their active roster from their practice squad Monday.
Snead will provide extra depth at receiver for Monday's matchup versus the Ravens as Jauan Jennings (concussion) is out. Snead had already been elevated the maximum of three times from the practice squad, so San Francisco had to sign him to the active roster in order for the 31-year-old to be eligible to play.

Rotowire
The 49ers elevated Snead to the active roster Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
This will be the second time Snead has been elevated by the 49ers since joining their practice squad Sept. 1. He played 11 snaps -- seven on offense, four on special teams -- in Week 4 against the Cardinals and was able to haul in his lone target for nine yards. He'll add some depth at wide receiver, with Deebo Samuel (shoulder) set to miss his second straight game.

Rotowire
Snead reverted to San Francisco's practice squad Monday.
Snead saw playing time on both offense and special teams during the team's win against Arizona on Sunday and managed to catch his only target for nine yards.

49ers' Willie Snead: Promoted to active roster
Rotowire
The 49ers elevated Snead to the active roster Saturday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
The move comes with Jauan Jennings (shin) being listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. If Snead is active, he could see some playing time as a depth wide receiver, especially if Deebo Samuel (knee/ribs) is also ruled out.

Willie Snead: Returns to San Francisco
Rotowire

Snead made four appearances for the 49ers last year, playing 68 total snaps (30 offensive). Heading into his age-31 season, the veteran wideout has a plethora of experience, especially on special teams, but he hasn't finished with more than 35 receiving yards since 2020.

49ers' Willie Snead: Victim to roster cuts
Rotowire
Snead was released by the 49ers on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Snead re-signed with the 49ers on a one-year deal during the offseason. He was the favorite to return both punts and kicks to go along with providing receiver depth, but the team has ultimately opted to go in another direction. It now remains to be seen if the 30-year-old will land on the team's practice squad or look for an opportunity elsewhere.

49ers' Willie Snead: Elevated for TNF
Rotowire
The 49ers elevated Snead from the practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Seahawks.
Snead has bounced back and forth between San Francisco's active roster and practice squad this season, seeing action in two games Week 6 and Week 8. While he has yet to catch a pass this season, the 30-year-old should provide additional depth at wide receiver Week 15 with Deebo Samuel likely to miss around three games due to an MCL sprain. Snead will now be eligible for one more elevation from the 49ers' practice squad this season.

Willie Snead: Returns to practice squad
Rotowire
The 49ers signed Snead to their practice squad Tuesday, per the team's official site.
Since late August, Snead has gone back and forth between the 49ers' practice squad and their active roster, so this transaction doesn't come with much surprise. However, the veteran receiver could find himself back on the team's 53-man roster after San Fransisco's Week 9 bye if either Deebo Samuel (hamstring) or Jauan Jennings (hamstring) are unable to gain medical clearance in time for the 49ers' Week 10 matchup against the Chargers.
