Shark Bites

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.

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 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.
