Receiver Simi Fehoko, who has mostly gotten snaps on special teams, will now fill Jalen Brooks' role on the offense following Brooks' season-ending wrist injury.

Fehoko had the recovery of Gillikin's punt that ricocheted off the 49ers' blocker. The source notes that each week Fehoko does something special on special teams, and this week it was the fumble recovery that skipped off 49ers safety Siran Neal at the Cardinals' own 28-yard line.PositiveRoleSep 16, 2026
Fehoko was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 1 after blocking a punt against the Chargers in the fourth quarter of Arizona's win; the block led directly to a Cardinals TD drive, with QB Jacoby Brissett hitting TE Trey McBride for a three-yard touchdown to extend the lead to 23-14. This was Fehoko's first career blocked kick, the first blocked punt for the Cardinals since December 20, 2020, and the first time the Chargers had a punt blocked since November 21, 2021. Fehoko also recorded two tackles on special teams in the game.PositiveRoleSep 14, 2026
Fehoko, a receiver who has found other jobs to get on the field, added kick blocking to his special teams resume by executing a designed stunt that resulted in a blocked punt. The play involved Fehoko looping up the middle after left guard was pushed by linebacker Eku Leota, creating a huge hole and leading to a Cardinals first down on the two-yard line.NegativeDepth ChartSep 9, 2026
Fehoko is the backup to Michael Wilson at the Z receiver position. In the rare four-receiver sets the Cardinals employ, Fehoko will most likely be the WR4, as the offense prefers to use an additional tight end rather than four pass catchers.PositiveRoleSep 7, 2026

Simi Fehoko made the Cardinals' 53-man roster and scored a touchdown during the preseason game against Green Bay on August 28, 2026, demonstrating offensive involvement in the preseason.PositiveRoleAug 29, 2026
Fehoko led all receivers with 8 targets, 5 catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns. He consistently found ways to get open and make plays, including a nine-yard TD late in the fourth quarter that showcased his route-running ability. He demonstrated great awareness on a toe-tap catch to secure the ball and will fight for contested catches. The source questions whether this performance indicates he should make the final roster.PositiveRoleAug 18, 2026
Signed to a one-year, $1.4 million contract ($1.26 million guaranteed). In a strange position entering his sixth season with plenty of experience and a really good camp. Made a great touchdown grab against the Raiders. Cardinals have always loved his size (6'-4", 225 pounds) with a large frame and high catch point. Excellent on special teams tackling and offers a big target in the receiver room for versatility. His only season with the Cardinals last year was interrupted by a broken arm, sprained ankle, and a concussion; coaching staff loves him.PositiveRoleAug 16, 2026

Fehoko has established himself as a special teams contributor, recording a career-high 116 special teams snaps in 2025 and finishing third on the team in special teams tackles despite playing in only eight games. However, the source questions whether his role is limited to special teams coverage, noting that receivers are rarely used as gunners and tacklers compared to backup safeties and defensive ends.NegativeDepth ChartJul 22, 2026
Fehoko is listed as the backup right outside receiver on the Cardinals' 2026 depth chart behind Michael Wilson, with Jalen Brooks and Harrison Wallace III also in the room. The source notes that the Cardinals have 12 receivers under contract heading into training camp, but most NFL clubs keep only six on the final roster, creating significant roster competition for Fehoko.NegativeInjuryJul 22, 2026
Fehoko has a history of injuries throughout his professional career: COVID and a left shoulder injury with the Dallas Cowboys; an elbow issue with the Chargers; and an ankle injury followed by a broken arm with Arizona in Week 10 of 2025. His toughness was evident when he taped up an ankle injury against Seattle and broke his arm on the following kickoff, but the injury pattern raises durability concerns.PositiveProjectionJul 22, 2026
Fehoko was the standout of preseason last year, catching two touchdowns in two games with an impressive toe-drag catch. He finished with 41 preseason offensive snaps and a Pro Football Focus grade of 71.6, positioning him as a potential red zone target given his 6'-4", 225-pound frame. The source notes that with new offensive coaches cleaning the slate for him and another successful preseason campaign, he could vie for an offensive role in 2026.NegativeRoleJul 22, 2026
Fehoko came to the Cardinals last year hoping for a starting job, was cut on the final day, signed to the practice squad, and quickly elevated to the main roster. He broke his arm in Week 10 and was lost for the remainder of the 2025 season. During his eight games played, he received only 7% of all offensive snaps, suggesting a limited offensive role despite preseason success.
