Sherfield was on the field for 12 of the Vikings' 77 offensive snaps and recorded a six-yard catch on his lone target in Monday's 30-12 win over the Bears. The reception was Sherfield's first since Week 11, as the 28-year-old has been active for each of the Vikings' ensuing four games but has seen limited snaps on offense while primarily contributing on Minnesota's special-teams units. For the season, Sherfield has produced an 8-83-1 receiving line on nine targets over 14 games.

Sherfield was on the field for 12 of the Vikings' 77 offensive snaps and recorded a six-yard catch on his lone target in Monday's 30-12 win over the Bears. The reception was Sherfield's first since Week 11, as the 28-year-old has been active for each of the Vikings' ensuing four games but has seen limited snaps on offense while primarily contributing on Minnesota's special-teams units. For the season, Sherfield has produced an 8-83-1 receiving line on nine targets over 14 games.
Sherfield had one reception for 11 yards in Sunday's win at Jacksonville. Sherfield played on 11 of the offense's 84 snaps as he's been working as the No. 4 receiver. He's going to have a small role in the offense as long as the top three receivers are healthy and with T.J. Hockenson back to full speed.
Sherfield caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts. Sherfield played 10 offensive snaps, his highest total since Week 4 versus Green Bay, but he wasn't able to make much of an impact against Indianapolis. With Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison garnering the vast majority of looks at wide receiver, Sherfield doesn't have a major role in Minnesota's offense.
Sherfield had a 10-yard touchdown reception on his only target in Thursday's loss to the Rams. Despite the touchdown, Sherfield has a minimal role in the passing game. He played just three snaps on offense and has just five targets this season. His touchdown likely won't earn him more playing time as the No. 4 wide receivers barring injuries in the receiving corps.
Sherfield did not have target or carry in Sunday's loss to Detroit. He played four snaps on offense. Sherfield hasn't had a target the past two games and just two the past four games as he isn't on the field much as the fourth receiver. He's mostly been playing special teams (20 snaps Sunday).
Sherfield had one reception for eight yards on his lone target in Sunday's win over Houston. Sherfield played on 15 of the offense's 63 snaps as he worked as the No. 4 receiver with Jordan Addison out with an ankle injury. Sherfield could play just a few snaps on offense once Addison returns.
Sherfield had one reception for 17 yards on two targets in Sunday's win over San Francisco. Sherfield played on 16 of the offense's 54 offensive snaps. He moved into the fourth receiver role behind Jalen Nailor, who had 50 snaps on offense and four targets, and Brandon Powell (32 snaps and two targets ) with Jordan Addison (ankle) sidelined. Sherfield could see an expanded role Week 3 against Houston if both Addison and Justin Jefferson (quad) are sidelined.
Sherfield has made Minnesota's 53-man roster, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. The Vikings will begin the season with a starting wide receiver trio of Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Jalen Nailor. Brandon Powell is likely the No. 4 receiver with Trishton Jackson and Sherfield profiling in depth/special-teams roles.
Sherfield had three receptions for 46 yards on six targets, including a 33-yard touchdown, in Saturday's preseason win over Las Vegas. Sherfield is competing for the fourth or fifth receiver role among a crowded field that includes Brandon Powell, Trishton Jackson, Lucky Jackson and Thayer Thomas. The veteran may have a lead on a roster spot at this point in the preseason.
