Greg Zuerlein
K - New York Jets
Availability
Greg Zuerlein will return on Sunday against the Bills.
Fantasy Impact
Zuerlein has been on injured reserve since the end of October. He had been struggling prior to his injury. He is back for the final two games of the season.
The Jets have placed K Greg Zuerlein (knee) on IR and have signed Spencer Shrader and Riley Patterson to their practice squad.
Fantasy Impact
Zuerlein has displayed sub-par kicking performances of late, as he's begun the season 9 of 15 on field goal attempts. This likely comes as a result of the knee issue that he's been dealing with. Either Shrader or Patterson will be kicking for New York on Thursday night vs. the Texans.
Greg Zuerlein was limited at practice on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Zuerlein was added to the injury report the day after the Jets said they were hosting a kicking competition. This will be a situation to monitor.
Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said the team will hold a kicking competition on Tuesday ahead of Week 9’s game against the Texans.
Fantasy Impact
Zuerlein missed two more kicks in a field goal and extra point in Sunday's loss against the Patriots. His starting role is up in the air.
Greg Zuerlein made 1-of-2 field goal attempts and 1-of-2 extra point attempts in the Jets 25-22 loss to the Patriots.
Fantasy Impact
Zuerlein converted on a 29-yard field goal attempt and missed on a crucial 44-yard attempt in the fourth quarter. The veteran has missed four field goals in his last four games and has seven total missed kicks this season. The Jets may look to make a move ahead of a Week 9 matchup with the Texans.
