Sills failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.
Once again, Sills operated as the Falcons' No. 3 wideout, playing 37 more offensive snaps than KhaDarel Hodge and Dylan Drummond. However, despite playing at least 30 offensive snaps in four straight games following Atlanta's Week 5 bye, Sills has totaled only two catches on four targets for 14 yards during that stretch.

Falcons' David Sills: Targeted three times in loss
Rotowire
Sills caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.
Sills played 90 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps Sunday, nearly doubling his next highest snap share this season. The 30-year-old wideout saw an increase in playing time against Miami due to No. 1 wide receiver Drake London missing the contest with a hip injury. Despite the increase in playing time, Sills and the entire Falcons offense couldn't get much going against the Dolphins defense. Sills should not be trusted for fantasy purposes, especially if London is able to make his return for a Week 9 matchup against the Patriots.

Falcons' David Sills: Getting cardio but not targets
Rotowire
Sills didn't record a target across 28 offensive snaps during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the 49ers.
Despite playing 74 offensive snaps over the past three games, Sills hasn't garnered a single target. The only time he's made a dent in the box score came during Week 3, when he caught one of two targets for nine yards across 25 offensive snaps against the Panthers.

Falcons' David Sills: Catches first pass since 2022
Rotowire
Sills caught one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Panthers.
After playing only five offensive snaps through Atlanta's first two games, Sills saw extended action during Sunday's blowout and caught his first pass since 2022, when he was with the Giants. As long as Jamal Agnew (groin) and Casey Washington (concussion) are sidelined, Sills will be the No. 5 wideout behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Ray-Ray McCloud and KhaDarel Hodge.

Falcons' David Sills: Joins active roster
Rotowire
Sills signed with the Falcons' active roster Saturday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Sills was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for the Falcons' Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers, playing two offensive snaps and failing to record a stat. Now that he's signed to the active roster, the 29-year-old is expected to play a depth role in Atlanta's wide receiver corps in the Week 2 matchup against the Vikings. In a corresponding move, Jordan Fuller (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

David Sills: Reverts to practice squad
Rotowire
Sills reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Sills was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers, failing to record any stats while playing two offensive snaps. With Darnell Mooney (shoulder) banged up and both Drake London (shoulder) and Jamal Agnew (groin) suffering injuries in the opener, it's possible that Sills is elevated again in Week 2 versus the Vikings.

Falcons' David Sills: Sees two snaps in opener
Rotowire
Sills played two offensive snaps during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers.
Sills initially made the Falcons' first 53-man roster but was cut a week later. Atlanta then re-signed him to the practice squad and elevated him for the regular-season opener due to Darnell Mooney (shoulder) being inactive. However, Sills was still a non-factor offensively. Drake London (shoulder) and Jamal Agnew (groin) suffered injuries during the opener, so Sills could be elevated again in Week 2 if Atlanta's wideout room isn't at full strength.

David Sills: Cut by Atlanta
Rotowire
The Falcons released Sills on Friday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Sills' ouster could mean Darnell Mooney (shoulder) will be ready for Sunday's opener against the Bucs. Sills hasn't registered a regular-season catch since 2022 with the Giants.

Falcons' David Sills: Catches pass in preseason opener
Rotowire
Sills caught one of two targets for 15 yards during Friday's 17-10 preseason loss to the Lions.
The undrafted wideout out of West Virginia hasn't played a regular-season game in the NFL since 2023. There's a lot of competition for the final wideout spots behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Ray-Ray McCloud and KhaDarel Hodge. Given Jamal Agnew's return abilities, he'll likely take the fifth spot, leaving Sills to compete with Casey Washington, DJ Chark, Dylan Drummond and Chris Blair for potentially only one spot.

Falcons' David Sills: Headed to Atlanta
Rotowire
The Falcons signed Sills to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Sills spent the entire 2024 season on the Broncos' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp in late August, but he didn't play in the regular season despite being elevated for Week 17 against the Bengals. Sills last saw NFL regular-season action in 2023 with the Giants, during which he played 16 snaps across three games but did not show up in the box score otherwise. The 28-year-old wideout out of West Virginia will take his talents to Atlanta, where he will have a chance to make the Falcons' 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign.

Sills appeared in three games with the Broncos in 2023, failing to garner a target over 16 offensive snaps and spending the majority of the rest of the season with the team's practice squad. He'll now have a shot to attempt to crack Denver's active roster ahead of the 2024 campaign.

Giants' David Sills: Takes hard hit
Rotowire
Sills left practice early Thursday after suffering what appeared to be a back or rib injury, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Sills sustained the injury while landing hard on the ground on an attempted catch. However, he was able to walk off the field on his own. The soon-to-be 27-year-old appeared in nine games for the Giants last season, making 11 catches on 17 targets for 106 yards. He's expected to be fighting for a depth role in the Giants' receiving corps, which added Parris Campbell, Jeff Smith and Jamison Crowder in free agency, while also adding Jalin Hyatt in the third round of the 2023 Draft.

David Sills: Let loose by New York
Rotowire
The Giants waived Sills on Saturday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.
Sills played a significant role for New York early in the season, logging between 43 and 91 percent of the team's offensive snaps during each contest between Week 1 and Week 5. However, his opportunities have tailed off since then, and he was a healthy scratch six times over the past seven weeks. Sills has been with the Giants organization since 2019 but may now seek work elsewhere.

Giants' David Sills: Inactive again
Rotowire
Sills (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
Sills is a healthy scratch for a second straight week after appearing in each of the team's first eight contests, totaling 11 receptions on 17 targets for 106 yards. The Giants' wideout room was banged-up to start the season, but they got Kenny Golladay back Week 10, leaving Sills buried on the depth chart.

Giants' David Sills: Quiet in Week 5 win
Rotowire
Sills caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 27-22 victory versus the Packers in London.
Sills looked like he could see ample opportunities leading into the weekend as one of three healthy wideouts for New York. Instead, Darius Slayton -- who entered Week 5 with only one catch on two targets -- emerged as the team's top receiver, hauling in six of seven targets for 79 yards. In addition, Marcus Johnson -- who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday -- logged more catches (three) and tallied more yards (35) than did Sills. The surprising final stat lines emphasize the unsettled hierarchy of a New York wide-receiver room that is best avoided in fantasy.
