Sherman has reached agreement on a new contract with the Chiefs, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman has served as the Chiefs' lead blocker since 2013, recording only 47 catches and 19 carries despite playing every game. He took 14 carries in a meaningless Week 17 game against Denver, but it'll be back to a limited blocking role in 2018. Kareem Hunt probably appreciates the re-signing, even though the Chiefs rarely use a fullback outside of the red zone.

Sherman toted the rock 14 times for 40 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

A fullback by trade, Sherman had not carried the ball more than twice in a season, let alone a game, since entering the league before Sunday's contest. It was more a result of circumstance than anything else and he should not be expected to repeat that volume any time in the future, barring another similar scenario.

Sherman saw just ten offensive snaps in Thursday's game against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman saw a dramatic drop in snaps from 25 in Week 1 to 10 in Week 2. Given the lack of production out of the fullback spot, it shouldn't have too much impact on his fantasy value, but it could be an indicator that the Chiefs plan to move in a different direction offensively.

Sherman signed a contract extension with the Chiefs on Wednesday. Although the details of the extension won't be disclosed, it appears the team will keep on Sherman for the future.

Sherman caught a pass for 24 yards Sunday against the Rams. Sherman continues to see a look or two out of the backfield per game, but remains largely the lead blocker for the Chiefs' running backs.

Sherman caught two passes for 12 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Chargers. Sherman scored his first touchdown of the season and the second of his career Sunday. He now has four receptions and two carries through five games, but mainly serves as a blocker for Jamaal Charles and Knile Davis

Sherman caught one pass for 12 yards on two targets Sunday against the 49ers. Sherman averages no more than a couple touches a game, leaving him with little to no fantasy value.

Sherman toted the ball one time for four yards and caught a pass for one yard against the Dolphins on Sunday. Sherman doesn't see many carries as the team's fullback, with his primary job being opening a whole for the Chiefs' running backs in Jamaal Charles and Knile Davis.

Sherman rushed one time for four yards Sunday. Sherman is used as the lead blocker for Chiefs' superstar in Jamaal Charles. He receives a carry from time-to-time, but doesn't hold much value in fantasy leagues.

Chiefs acquired FB Anthony Sherman from the Chiefs. New Cards head coach Bruce Arians has no room for plodding fullbacks in his aggressive, vertical offense. So Sherman heads to Andy Reid's West Coast scheme as Jamaal Charles' lead blocker. The 2011 fifth-rounder graded out 20th among 25 qualifying fullbacks in Pro Football Focus' rankings last season.
