Latest news
The Steelers waived Keeney-James on Friday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Keeney-James signed with the Steelers in early August, hoping to sneak onto the team's 53-man roster. The 25-year-old has played in just one NFL game, catching two balls for 15 yards with the Packers in Week 18 of 2025. The wide receiver will not be able to make the cut and will now be subject to waivers through Monday. If Keeney-James goes unclaimed, he will become a free agent able to sign with any team's 53-man roster or practice squad.

Green Bay waived Keeney-James on Monday.
Keeney-James was originally signed by Detroit as an undrafted free agent last April. He ended up being waived, and Green Bay scooped him up in late September. Keeney-James saw action in one game for the Packers, catching both of his targets for 15 yards in Week 18 versus Minnesota. He'll now be exposed to waivers, and Green Bay signed tight end Luke Lachey in a corresponding move.

The Packers signed Keeney-James from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.
With Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) listed as doubtful and Savion Williams (foot/illness) placed on injured reserve, Keeney-James is likely set to fill the void at wide receiver for Sunday's game. If he plays, Week 18 would be the 25-year-old's first contest of the season, and he would likely be the No. 6 receiver behind Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden and Bo Melton.

The Packers signed Keeney-James to the practice squad Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Keeney-James will take the spot on the Packers' practice squad roster vacated by Mecole Hardman, who was cut in a corresponding move. Keeney-James signed with the Lions in late April as an undrafted free agent but failed to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He'll work on learning the offensive playbook and prepare to be elevated to the active roster.

Verdexed board · 2026
| Format | Our rank | Market ADP | Value | Proj pts | Floor–Ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PPR | WR158 (#351) | undrafted | -70 | 113.5 | 22.4–143.2 |
| Half PPR | WR155 (#370) | undrafted | -79 | 93.2 | 2.1–122.9 |
| Standard | WR158 (#406) | undrafted | -81 | 72.5 | -18.6–102.2 |
“Value” is market slot minus our slot: positive means the market lets you draft him later than our blend ranks him. Ranks blend our projection model with ADP at backtested weights, the receipts are on methodology.
Trade value: what to ask for Jakobie
Our board has Jakobie Keeney-James at WR158, #351 overall in PPR, and the market leaves him undrafted. The market prices him about 70 picks higher than we do, so in a trade ask for more than his slot suggests: a fair return is a player the market ranks near #351, and you are giving up someone our model values as a #351. He projects to 113.5 points (floor 22.4, ceiling 143.2).
WRs in that range on our board right now: Xavier Hutchinson (#344, HOU), Olamide Zaccheaus (#346, ATL), Tim Patrick (#348, NYJ), Beaux Collins (#349, ATL), Brandon Johnson (#357, PIT), Xavier Smith (#358, SF).
