Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chase Claypool has been released by the organization. This news doesn't come as a huge surprise after Claypool was placed on the injured reserve earlier this week due to a toe injury. The 26-year-old put together two solid seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers to begin his career. Since then, Claypool has struggled to find much success and is fighting to stick on a 53-man roster. The former second-round pick will look to catch on elsewhere once he gets healthy. He's unlikely to have much fantasy value if any during the 2024 season.

The Buffalo Bills have placed wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) on IR, ending his season. Signed to a one-year deal during the offseason, Claypool had previously struggled with the Dolphins and Bears, recording just eight receptions for 77 yards and one touchdown over 12 games. Originally listed as a day-to-day concern, Claypool missed most of training camp due to a toe injury sustained on July 28. Claypool will not play this season unless he secures an injury settlement with the Bills and becomes a free agent. With Claypool sidelined, veteran wide receivers Mack Hollins and Marquez Valdes-Scantling emerge as the top contenders for depth roles in Buffalo's receiving corps.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) did not practice at training camp on Wednesday. It's been over a week now since Claypool was last on the field at camp due to his toe injury. For a declining receiver that was already battling for a roster spot this summer, all of his missed practice time is really bad news. It's a shame, too, as Buffalo has plenty of opportunity at the receiver position in 2024 with Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, their top two receivers a year ago, no longer in town. The 26-year-old former second-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2020 out of Notre Dame is going to need to get back on the field soon to have any shot at winning a 53-man roster spot to begin the regular season. Since going for 860 receiving yards in 2021 in his second season, Claypool has struggled to find a role in the NFL.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) remained out of training camp practice on Tuesday. Claypool suffered a minor toe injury in practice on Sunday and has missed the last two days at camp as a result. The 26-year-old is considered day-to-day, so his toe injury shouldn't impact his readiness for the start of the 2024 season. However, Claypool can't really afford to miss any practice time as he tries to win one of the final roster spots this summer. The former second-round pick (49th overall) by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2020 out of Notre Dame is close to being run out of the league after two straight disappointing seasons with the Chicago Bears, Steelers and Dolphins. Last year, he caught just eight of 21 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in 12 games. The good news for him this year is that the Bills are looking for receivers to step up, but it remains to be seen if he can do so.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) is dealing with a toe injury, which Coach Sean McDermott described as a day-to-day issue. The Bills signed Claypool to a one-year deal in the offseason after underwhelming performances with the Dolphins and Bears in recent years. Although Claypool suffered the toe injury on Sunday, he is expected to make a swift recovery. Once he returns to practice, he will compete for a roster spot in the retooled Bills wide receiver group, which features Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mack Hollins, and rookie Keon Coleman. Claypool currently holds little fantasy value unless he secures a spot in the starting rotation for Buffalo.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chase Claypool (leg) left Sunday's practice. While details are scarce, the wideout appeared to be dealing with a painful left leg injury. The 26-year-old began his career in Pittsburgh with a bang, totaling 873 yards and nine touchdowns off 62 catches to finish his inaugural season. However, Claypool's production has significantly declined since, with the 2020 No. 49 overall pick amassing four touchdowns in the last four seasons. With that said, the Bills no longer have Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis on the roster, so everyone has a chance to claim the top spot on the depth chart. With that said, Claypool has a long way to go before earning the trust of fantasy managers, even if he plays better than Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Curtis Samuel during training camp. Fantasy managers should expect an update on his condition by Monday.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chase Claypool has been the most consistent receiver through OTAs so far in Buffalo, according to Bills beat writer Matt Parrino. Claypool signed a one-year contract with the Bills earlier this month and is expected to have a depth role in the offense in 2024. However, the 25-year-old has performed well through the early part of OTAs and is making a strong case to not only make the 53-man roster but have a steady role in this offense. Currently, the Buffalo wide receiver room consists of Khalil Shakir, veterans Curtis Samuel and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Florida State rookie Keon Coleman, who was drafted with the 33rd overall pick this spring. This is a story to monitor over the course of the offseason, as Claypool could be an enticing late-round pick in deeper leagues if he earns a starting role in this offense.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chase Claypool has seen his stock steadily decline since his 11-touchdown rookie season in 2020 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last year with the Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins, he caught just eight passes for 77 yards. He signed with the Bills on a one-year, $1.1 million deal this offseason, giving him another chance to revive his career. So far at Bills' OTAs, he's making a good impression. "Very impressed with Chase. Really just starting with his approach, here's a veteran receiver, former high pick, that has been on a journey, right, through the course of recently in his career," head coach Sean McDermott said. "I applaud Chase for coming here to see where things go. And so he's very focused, he's working extremely hard day in and day out." The former Notre Dame wideout has an uphill battle to re-enter the fantasy radar in 2024, but a wide receiver group consisting of Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, and rookie Keon Coleman isn't the most daunting group to compete with. Still, he's likely to be a non-factor if he makes the team's 53-man roster, barring a surprise.

The Buffalo Bills signed former Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday. Even with the departures of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis this offseason, Claypool could face an uphill battle to crack the top three in Buffalo after the addition of rookie Keon Coleman with the first pick of the second round of this year's draft. The 25-year-old former second-rounder by the Steelers in 2020 out of Notre Dame had a career-low eight receptions on 21 targets for 77 yards and one touchdown in 12 games (two starts) with the Bears and Miami Dolphins in 2023. Claypool could connect on some deep plays down the field with quarterback Josh Allen in 2024, but unless injuries open up a starting spot for Claypool, he's a long shot for consistent fantasy production.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday ahead of his team's Week 13 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Claypool has not taken the field since Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs but he could be heading in the right direction as Week 13 approaches. Stay tuned to his participation in practices on Thursday and Friday.
Nov 29, 2023 9:44 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receivers Chase Claypool (knee) and Robbie Chosen are inactive for the Week 12 contest against the division-rival New York Jets on Friday. Chose, who was re-signed this week after temporarily being cut, is a healthy scratch. Claypool has played in only three games since the Dolphins acquired him in a trade with the Chicago Bears. He's been a non-factor, catching one pass on two targets for a 15-yard gain. Both Claypool and Chosen aren't anywhere near the fantasy radar and probably won't be for the rest of the year as receiving depth for Miami.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee) has been ruled out for Week 11 against the Las Vegas Raiders after undergoing a minor knee procedure. Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters on Friday that Claypool was week-to-week after the surgery and now he's been officially ruled out for Week 11. He's made little to no impact as a member of the Dolphins, hauling in just one reception (two targets) for 15 yards in three games since being traded from Chicago. It's highly unlikely that he will recover any sort of fantasy value this season and can be left on the waiver wire.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee) had a "minor procedure" on his knee during the bye last week and is considered week-to-week, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. Claypool hasn't practiced this week and will most likely be officially ruled out on Friday's final Week 11 injury report. The Dolphins acquired Claypool midseason from the Chicago Bears, but the 25-year-old has just one catch on two targets for 15 yards in three games for Miami. The former second-round pick in 2020 out of Notre Dame by the Pittsburgh Steelers has been a disappointment ever since putting up nine touchdowns in 16 games in his rookie campaign. Claypool remains well off the fantasy radar, although it appears he has a chance to play again in 2023.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee) is officially active for Sunday's meeting with the Eagles. The 25-year-old hasn't played since the Bears traded him a few weeks ago. But Claypool will have a fresh start in Miami after a disastrous tenure with the Bears, so fantasy managers hope he'll return to form. However, with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle the primary pass-catchers for Tua Tagovailoa, it's tough for other wideouts to stay involved consistently.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee) practiced fully on Wednesday. Claypool has yet to make his debut for the Dolphins after they acquired him from the Chicago Bears on Friday, October 6. He has been a DNP coach's decision over the past two weeks and could remain on the sidelines until Miami determines that he's up to speed. If and when Claypool ultimately ends up suiting up for the Dolphins, he will be behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in the target pecking order.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Week 6 versus the Carolina Panthers, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The former second-round pick was acquired by Miami less than two weeks ago. He was inactive last week, too, though that was due to the fact that Claypool hadn't been afforded enough time to learn the offense. It's unclear if his Week 6 absence can also be blamed on a quick turnaround for the former Steeler and Bear.
Oct 15, 2023 11:11 AM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool will be inactive for Sunday's game against the New York Giants, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Claypool was traded from the Bears to the Dolphins on Friday, and while Miami seems intent on incorporating the young receiver into its offense, it's too quick of a turnaround to expect him to play after just one practice. He'll be inactive, which means fellow depth option Robbie Chosen should log some snaps for the third consecutive week.

The Miami Dolphins acquired wide receiver Chase Claypool and a seventh-round draft pick in 2025 from the Chicago Bears on Friday in exchange for a sixth-round pick in 2025, according to league sources. Claypool quickly wore out his welcome in Chicago after being acquired from the Pittsburgh Steelers midseason last year. The 25-year-old Notre Dame product was a healthy scratch each of the last two games for the Bears and four catches for 51 yards and a touchdown in three games this year. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are the two unquestioned leaders of the receiver room in Miami, but Claypool offers intriguing size and speed to an already explosive offense. He will be competing with Braxton Berrios, Robbie Chosen and Cedrick Wilson Jr. for playing time once he gets up to speed.

Several NFL teams think that the Chicago Bears will end up releasing wide receiver Chase Claypool. "I think that's where it's trending," one NFL executive said. The Bears would prefer to get a late-round pick for Claypool, but his locker-room presence will be a strong consideration for any prospective team after he outstayed his welcome in both Pittsburgh and Chicago in the last two years. In 10 games in Chicago, he went over 30 yards receiving just twice. The 25-year-old has size and speed, though, so he might attract some interest from a few contending teams. Claypool's fantasy value has now hit rock bottom, and he shouldn't be rostered in the majority of single-year leagues. However, a trade to a contender could make him slightly more attractive the rest of the year.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool (healthy scratch) has officially been ruled out of the Thursday Night Football contest against the Washington Commanders. The 25-year-old was traded to Chicago for an early second-round pick in the middle of the 2022 season and has caught just 17 passes for 191 yards and one touchdown in 10 games. Head coach Matt Eberflus said Claypool was asked to stay away from the team, so it looks like his time as a Bear is coming to a close. Claypool was critical of his usage when speaking to the media last week and is now a healthy inactive for the second straight game.
