Falcons' Malik Heath: Healthy scratch for MNF
Heath (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Rams, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Heath has yet to appear in a game for the Falcons since being claimed off waivers from the Packers in early December, and that trend will continue for Monday night's game. With Atlanta eliminated from postseason contention, Week 18 against the Saints on Sunday presents Heath his final opportunity to play this season. The Falcons will go with five active wide receivers in Drake London, Darnell Mooney, David Sills, Dylan Drummond and Deven Thompkins against Los Angeles.

Falcons' Malik Heath: Ready to rock
Heath (personal) is not listed on Thursday's estimated injury report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Heath did not suit up Week 16 versus the Cardinals due to a personal matter, though he had been a healthy scratch for Atlanta's prior two contests. He'll be fully available for Monday's home game against the Rams in the event the coaching staff decides Heath is ready for his Falcons debut after having been claimed by the team off waivers Dec. 8.

Falcons' Malik Heath: Won't play due to personal matter
Heath (personal) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Heath was slated to make his Falcons debut Sunday, but he returned to Atlanta to attend a personal matter, per Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site. Heath's next opportunity to play is Week 17 against the Rams on Monday, Dec. 29.

Falcons' Malik Heath: Atlanta debut on pause
Heath (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Atlanta claimed Heath off waivers Monday, so he's only had a few days with the team. He's likely to suit up at some point in the remaining games of the regular season, but his Falcons' debut will have to wait until at least Week 16.

Falcons' Malik Heath: Catches on with Atlanta
The Falcons claimed Heath off waivers from the Packers on Monday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Heath was waived by the Packers on Saturday after Jayden Reed (foot) was activated from injured reserve. He'll find a new opportunity with the Falcons, though he faces an uphill battle to carve out a meaningful role in Atlanta's offense for the rest of the 2025 season. Heath has six catches (on seven targets) for 86 yards through 11 regular-season games.

Malik Heath: Waived by Green Bay
The Packers waived Heath on Saturday.
Heath played in 11 games for the Packers this season, totaling six receptions for 86 yards on seven targets. The waiving of the wide receiver likely has to do with the potential return of both Jayden Reed (foot) and Matthew Golden (wrist). Heath will now revert to the waiver wire, and if he clears, he will become a free agent or moved to the Packers' practice squad.

Packers' Malik Heath: No catches in Week 13 victory
Heath didn't catch his only target in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.
Jordan Love tossed 30 passes for the first time in three weeks, but only one of them went to Heath, who now has gone without a reception in each of his past three games. Heath logged as many offensive snaps (11) as receiver-turned-cornerback Bo Melton, while Romeo Doubs (53), Christian Watson (46) and Dontayvion Wicks (31) featured as Green Bay's top three wideouts. Heath's role could shrink further when Matthew Golden (wrist) or Savion Williams (foot) return to action.

Packers' Malik Heath: Out for Sunday
Heath (coach's decision) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Heath has played a rotational role for the Packers this season, making an appearance in all 10 games, recording six receptions on six targets for 86 yards. This could be a positive sign for the status of fellow wideouts Matthew Golden (shoulder) and Savion Williams (foot), who are both questionable for Week 11.

Packers' Malik Heath: Green light to play Week 10
Heath (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Eagles, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
A hip issue limited Heath in practice Friday and Saturday, but the injury isn't severe enough to warrant an injury designation for the third-year wideout. He could play a sizable role on offense Monday, as the Packers are managing injuries to fellow wideouts Matthew Golden (shoulder), Dontayvion Wicks (calf) or Savion Williams (foot), all of whom are listed as questionable for Week 10.

Packers' Malik Heath: Tending to hip issue
Heath (hip) was a limited participant at practice Friday.
Heath was a full participant at practice Thursday, so it's not immediately obvious when he suffered the hip injury. Either way, he'll now probably need to practice in full Saturday to avoid being given an injury designation on Green Bay's final practice report of the week.

Packers' Malik Heath: Hauls in three passes
Heath was targeted three times and caught three passes for 29 yards in Sunday's 35-25 victory over the Steelers.
Fellow wideout Christian Watson made his season debut in Week 8, but another pass catcher -- Dontayvion Wicks (calf) -- did not suit up, so Heath spent another game as Green Bay's fourth wideout and set a season high in receptions. Heath will likely fall behind Wicks on the depth chart when he returns, and one more receiver -- rookie Savion Williams -- could get more involved, which does not leave much upside from a fantasy perspective.

Packers' Malik Heath: Held without target again
Heath was not targeted in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.
Heath -- due in part to a calf injury sustained by fellow wideout Dontayvion Wicks -- finished third among Packers receivers in snaps in Week 7, but he finished without a target for the fourth time in six appearances this season. Heath could benefit if Wicks misses any further action, but another pass catcher -- Christian Watson (knee) -- is due back soon, so any sort of long-term boost looks unlikely.

Packers' Malik Heath: Not involved against Bengals
Heath failed to record a single target in Sunday's 27-18 win over the Bengals.
Heath saw his highest snap share of the season Sunday, playing 46 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps after averaging a 26 percent snap share over the team's first four games. Despite the uptick in playing time, the third-year wideout was unable to get anything going against a vulnerable defense. Considering Heath is already buried on the depth chart and teammate Christian Watson (knee) is nearing his return, the 25-year-old is best ignored for fantasy purposes going forward. Up next for Green Bay is a Week 7 matchup against the Cardinals.

Packers' Malik Heath: Competing for roster spot
Heath was targeted four times and caught one pass for four yards in Saturday's 30-10 exhibition loss to the Jets.
Heath played more snaps than any other Packers skill player, but he dropped a couple passes and fell on another pass thrown his direction, so he did not capitalize on the opportunity. Heath spent the last two seasons in Green Bay, but the team selected a couple wideouts in the draft and brought in veteran Mecole Hardman, so he is not assured of a roster spot.

Packers' Malik Heath: No catches in wild-card loss
Heath failed to record a single reception on four targets in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card loss to the Eagles.
Heath played 38 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap share of the season. With Christian Watson (knee) sidelined, and both Romeo Doubs (concussion) and Jayden Reed (shoulder) picking up injuries in the contest, Heath was needed to fill in at wide receiver position. With that said, the 24-year-old wasn't able to do anything against the Eagles' formidable defense, as Green Bay's offense struggled throughout the game. Heath finished the 2024 campaign with just 10 grabs for 97 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets across 13 contests. The Mississippi product is under contract for the 2025 season before becoming a restricted free agent in 2026. Heath will continue to face competition for targets in Green Bay's young receiver corps with Reed, Doubs, Watson and Dontayvion Wicks all under contract next season.

Packers' Malik Heath: Hauls in three passes
Heath was targeted five times and caught three passes for 53 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Bears.
Heath was busier than usual with Romeo Doubs (illness) sitting out and Christian Watson (knee) leaving the game early, and he wound up setting a new career high in the receiving yards column. Doubs will presumably return for Green Bay's postseason opener, but Watson will not, so Heath could have more opportunities to contribute during the playoffs.
