Joey Slye Out For Week 6
Titans K Joey Slye (calf) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. He’ll be replaced by K Matthew Wright, who’s not a recommended fantasy starter with Tennessee projected for just 18.5 points.
Commanders releasing Michael Badgley; Joey Slye wins
The Commanders are releasing K Michael Badgley. That means Joey Slye is retaining the job. He spent all of last season in that role for Washington after arriving late in 2021. Slye went 25-of-30 on FGs and 24-of-28 on extra points. Adjust your kicker rankings.
Commanders adding Michael Badgley
The Commanders are signing K Michael Badgley, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Badgley will compete with incumbent Joey Slye. Try to avoid drafting both until the situation gets cleared up.
Blewitt out, Slye in for Washington
Washington dumped K Chris Blewitt and signed K Joey Slye. Blewitt missed 3 of 5 FG attempts in 2 games for the Football Team. Slye spent time with both the Texans and 49ers earlier this season, connecting on 7 of 8 FG tries. He's not a recommended Week 10 fantasy play vs. the Bucs.
49ers release Slye
The 49ers released K Joey Slye. That presumably means K Robbie Gould is ready to return from his groin injury for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals.
Colts-49ers weather forecast
The forecast for tonight's Colts-49ers game calls for a 100% chance of rain with winds of 20-30 mph. That's ugly -- and certainly enough to impact the passing and kicking games. We'd try to avoid both of these passing games outside of 49ers WR Deebo Samuel and Colts WR Michael Pittman. You should also stay away from both Ks.
Fairbairn to IR
Texans K Ka'imi Fairbairn (leg) has landed on short-term IR. He's out at least 3 weeks. Fairbairn will be replaced by Joey Slye, but you should be avoiding Texans kickers in fantasy lineups.
Panthers cut Slye
The Panthers have released K Joey Slye. No surprise there, as the team recently acquired K Ryan Santonso via trade. Slye, only 25, will likely resurface this season.
