Cleveland Browns kicker Andre Szmyt did his best to make people forget about a rough start to the season, hitting a game-winning 55-yard field goal to down the Green Bay Packers 13-10 in Week 3. He will look to keep it going on the road against the Detroit Lions in Week 4. Overall, Szmyt has hit four of his five field goals and all but one of his five extra points through three games. That being said, the Browns have not been great on offense this season, which has not afforded Szmyt many scoring chances. He is not a recommended fantasy option heading into Week 4 against Detroit.

Cleveland Browns kicker Andre Szmyt (calf) is expected to play on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Szmyt had a scare on Friday, but he's cleared to kick in Week 3. The rookie has had an up-and-down start, missing a game-winning attempt in Week 1 and converting his only try in Week 2. Facing a tough Packers defense, the Browns' offense may struggle to generate scoring opportunities, limiting Szmyt's fantasy upside. He should remain off fantasy lineups for Week 3.

Cleveland Browns kicker Andre Szmyt (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Green Bay Packers. Szmyt was not listed on their injury report on Wednesday and Thursday, but was listed as a limited participant during their final session on Friday. Managers should keep an eye on his status ahead of Sunday's contest, as he may not be able to progress enough to suit up to face the Packers. The 26-year-old signed a contract with the Browns in the offseason and has had mixed results in his first two NFL games. In Week 1, Szmyt went 1-for-2 on field goals and 1-for-2 on extra points. Then in their second game against the Ravens, Szmyt went 1-for-2 and 2-for-2, respectively. The Browns may look to add a kicker to their practice squad prior to Sunday's game if Szmyt continues to remain in a limited capacity. If he were to suit up, he would not carry much fantasy upside facing a potent Green Bay defense.

Cleveland Browns kicker Andre Szmyt will take on the Baltimore Ravens on the road in Week 2. Szmyt did not impress in his first game with the Browns last week, missing one of his two field goals and also misfiring on an extra point in a one-point loss. With many putting at least some of the blame on Szmyt's shoulders for the loss, he will look to bounce back against a Ravens defense that allowed the 14th-most fantasy points per game to the position back in 2024. Szmyt has a lot of pressure on him to improve from last week, but he is too hard to trust in fantasy at the moment.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that rookie Andre Szmyt will kick for the team on Sunday in Week 2 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens and said he expects the young kicker to get better. In his NFL debut in the one-point loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1, Szmyt missed one of his two extra-point tries and also missed a 36-yard field-goal attempt that would have given Cleveland a lead in the fourth quarter on Sunday. The Browns are sticking with the Syracuse product for now, but if he continues to struggle, it will be interesting to see how long a leash Stefanski gives him. Szmyt connected on a field goal over 40 yards in his other try in his first regular-season NFL game. For fantasy purposes, stay away from the young kicker.

Cleveland Browns kicker Andre Szmyt will open the 2025 season with a home game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. In a bit of a surprise, Szmyt won the starting kicker job over Dustin Hopkins, who had been Cleveland's kicker the past two seasons and had signed a three-year, $15.9 million extension ahead of the 2024 season. Szmyt will now go up against a Cincinnati defense that allowed just the 26th-most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers last season. The 26-year-old sets up as a low-end fantasy option heading into Week 1.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Cleveland Browns have signed free agent placekicker Andre Szmyt to a one-year $840,000 contract. Szmyt was on Cleveland's roster this offseason until the team waived him earlier in the month. However, he's back now with the release of defensive lineman Ogbo Okoronkwo earlier in the day. The Syracuse product has yet to attempt a kick on an NFL field, but will compete with veteran teammate Dustin Hopkins for the Browns' starting job. In college, Szmyt was 85-for-105 (81%) on field goal attempts and hit extra-point tries at a stellar 98% clip.
