Austin Seibert Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

The Commanders released K Cade York and signed K Austin Seibert. York went 0-for-2 on FGs in the opener, missing from 47 and 56 yards. He also had a kickoff go out of bounds. Seibert was Cleveland's kicker back in 2019 but has bounced to multiple teams in the four seasons since. He sports a subpar 80% career FG conversion rate. You should be able to do better in fantasy lineups.

Jets K Greg Zuerlein (quad) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Browns. Austin Seibert will kick for New York is Zuerlein is unable to give it a go. You should not be messing with this situation in Week 17 fantasy lineups.

Jets K Greg Zuerlein (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. Austin Seibert will kick in his place but is not a fantasy option.

The Lions on Friday waived K Austin Seibert. Michael Badgley -- who joined the practice squad earlier in the week -- will step in for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Lions K Austin Seibert (groin) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. K Dominik Eberle is on Detroit’s practice squad, so he figures to be the man to replace Seibert. Look elsewhere in fantasy.

Lions K Austin Seibert (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. We'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days. But you might want to line up a fallback option if you're hoping to use Seibert in a fantasy lineup this week.

Lions beat writer Kyle Meinke writes that there is "no doubt” Austin Seibert will enter Week 1 as the team’s kicker. Seibert, who boasts a stronger leg than competitor Riley Patterson, is an 82% FG kicker for his career. He isn’t one of our top kicker targets.

The Lions on Thursday placed K Austin Seibert on the COVID list. It's not yet clear whether he tested positive or was an unvaccinated close contact. Being just 3 days away from Sunday's clash with the Ravens, though, makes him unlikely to be ready for that game. Expect Detroit to elevate K Ryan Santoso from the practice squad.

The Lions signed K Austin Seibert. It looks like he'll open the season as the starter after Detroit cut Ks Zane Gonzalez and Randy Bullock on Tuesday. Seibert is a weak fantasy option on what figures to be 1 of the league's lowest-scoring offenses.
