The New York Jets signed kicker Greg Joseph to their practice squad, according to Joseph's agent, Brett Tessler. The veteran is now on his fifth team of the season after spending training camp with Green Bay, briefly signing with Detroit's practice squad, and then having stints with the New York Giants and Washington Commanders. Jets kicker Anders Carlson had a brutal showing on Sunday against the L.A. Rams, missing an extra point and a 49-yarder that would have cut the lead to one score in the fourth quarter. Joseph is unlikely to hold any fantasy value, however, even if he unseats Carlson for the starting job prior to a Week 17 game at Buffalo.

The Washington Commanders elevated veteran kicker Greg Joseph from their practice squad with Zane Gonzalez (foot) questionable to play the New Orleans Saints in Week 15. It's likely a form of insurance for Washington, which put starter Austin Seibert (groin) on injured reserve earlier this year. Gonzalez was limited in practice earlier this week, but figures to still be the projected starter. Managers will have to consider if they want anything to do with Washington's kicking situation in the fantasy playoffs.

New York Giants kicker Greg Joseph (abdomen) has been placed on the injured reserve ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Giants brought in Joseph after kicker Graham Gano (quad) got injured during the season opener. Now, Joseph will miss at least the next four games. That means, Jude McAtamney will be elevated from the practice squad this weekend. He'll make his NFL debut after looking solid in the preseason. However, McAtamney isn't an ideal streaming option given the Giants struggles on offense.

New York Giants kicker Greg Joseph (abdomen) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Giants are already without Graham Gano (hamstring) who injured himself attempting to make a tackle in Week 1. That being said, Jude McAtamney is likely to be elevated from the practice squad to make his debut this weekend. He looked solid in the preseason, so maybe he can be a viable option for them. Sadly, the Giants offense has struggled to move the ball down the field, which means McAtamney isn't a strong streaming option for Week 9.

New York Giants kicker Greg Joseph was the team's top scorer in Monday night's 26-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, nailing all four field goal attempts to keep the Giants within reach. Joseph was perfect on the night, hitting from distances that included a long of 48 yards and finished with a 100% field goal accuracy. With no extra-point attempts needed as the Giants failed to score a touchdown, Joseph's leg accounted for all of the team's points, making him a standout fantasy performer with 14 points. His consistent reliability and range make him a strong option for fantasy managers, particularly given the Giants' offensive struggles to find the end zone.
Oct 29, 2024 1:56 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Greg Joseph enters the Week 8 Monday Night Football matchup against the Steelers looking to build consistency amid a season marked by ups and downs. Joseph has made 9 of 12 field goal attempts (75%), with all three misses coming in the 40-49 yard range, though he did connect from 38 yards last week against the Eagles, his only attempt in a 28-3 loss. With the Giants' offense struggling to finish drives, Joseph's scoring opportunities could increase against a very good Steelers defense. In a tough, low-scoring matchup, Joseph is not a viable fantasy option for managers needing kicker stability.
Oct 26, 2024 10:09 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Greg Joseph will look to rebound in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles after a disappointing Week 6 where he missed both of his field goal attempts, potentially costing the Giants a chance to stay competitive in their 17-7 loss to the Bengals. Joseph has struggled with consistency this season, hitting just 72.7% of his field goals and missing three from the 40-49 yard range. For Joseph to make a fantasy impact, he'll need to capitalize on every opportunity moving forward as starter Graham Gano may be returning soon from injury.
Oct 18, 2024 11:30 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Greg Joseph continued his perfect streak in Sunday's 29-20 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, going 3-for-3 on field goals for the second straight week. Joseph drilled a long of 38 yards and added two extra points, contributing 11 total points to the Giants' win. His reliability on special teams has been crucial, as he remains flawless through two weeks, consistently converting his opportunities. With his 100% field goal percentage intact from the past two games, Joseph is shaping up as a strong fantasy kicker option, especially for teams seeking steady production.
Oct 6, 2024 9:41 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Greg Joseph will enter Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks riding some momentum after making all five of his field goal attempts in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, including a long of 52 yards. Through two games this season, Joseph is 2-for-2 on PATs and has yet to miss a field goal. However, he faces a tough Seattle defense that ranks eighth against kickers, allowing just six field goals through four games. With the Giants' offense struggling to convert drives into touchdowns, Joseph may be called upon for multiple field goal attempts again, making him a solid streaming option for fantasy managers.
Oct 4, 2024 11:43 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Greg Joseph was the team's lone source of offense in Thursday night's 20-15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, nailing all five of his field goal attempts. Joseph was perfect on the night, including a 52-yard strike, accounting for all 15 of the Giants' points. While the Giants' offense struggled to find the end zone, Joseph's consistency kept them within striking distance throughout the game. Fantasy managers relying on Joseph were rewarded with a strong performance, but the lack of offense from the Giants and the eventual return of Graham Gano may limit his opportunities in future matchups.
Sep 27, 2024 1:41 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Greg Joseph heads into Week 4 after scoring only three extra points in the 21-15 win over the Browns. In his first game as a New York Giant, Joseph missed the only field goal he attempted from 48 yards out. Facing the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4, he is looking to make a more significant impact on the game as he tries to hold on to a roster spot. Managers will want to look to other teams, as Joseph is just a placeholder until Graham Gano returns.
Sep 25, 2024 2:04 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Greg Joseph will remain the starter in Week 4 against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football, according to head coach Brian Daboll. Stellar kicker Graham Gano (hamstring) is sidelined with a hamstring injury, so Joseph will get another shot. The veteran missed his lone field goal try against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3, but he connected on all three of his extra-point attempts. Joseph has been good at times throughout his career, but he's not anywhere near the fantasy football radar this week.
Sep 24, 2024 2:08 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Greg Joseph enters Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns with an opportunity to deliver fantasy value after being picked up off the Detroit Lions practice squad. At this time, Joseph might not even be the kicker that dresses against the Browns as he is competing with Jude McAtamney, who is also on the practice roster. The veteran has played 67 regular-season games for three teams with an 82.6 field goal percentage and a long of 61 yards. Keep an eye on who will be dressed for Sunday's matchup.
Sep 21, 2024 12:55 AM EST
The New York Giants are signing veteran kicker Greg Joseph to their active roster on Tuesday from the Detroit Lions' practice squad, according to his agent. Regular Giants kicker Graham Gano (hamstring) was injured early in the Week 2 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders and will miss a "few weeks," prompting the Giants to add Joseph to their roster this week. Gano's injury ended up being big for the G-Men on Sunday, as punter Jamie Gillan missed his lone extra-point try and the Giants failed on their two two-point conversion tries in what ended up being a three-point loss. Joseph now seems likely to kick for New York in Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns and then probably also the following Thursday night in Week 4 against the Dallas Cowboys. Joseph lost the kicking battle in Green Bay in training camp and has made 82.6% of his career kicks in five seasons. It's best to avoid him in Week 3.
Sep 17, 2024 4:04 PM EST
The Detroit Lions signed kicker Greg Joseph to the practice squad on Tuesday. Joseph spent the offseason with the Green Bay Packers but was cut at the conclusion of the preseason. The Lions have second-year player Jake Bates on their roster as the current starter. He connected with all four of his kicks on Sunday night against the Rams. The addition of Joseph to the practice squad may have simply been a depth move by the Lions.
Sep 10, 2024 6:43 PM EST
Green Bay Packers kicker Greg Joseph was solid in his final preseason game, making both field goal attempts and kicking home an extra point in the Packers' 30-7 win against the Baltimore Ravens. Joseph made a 36-yard attempt in the beginning of the second quarter, nailed a PAT in the third quarter, and then with just under two minutes left in the fourth quarter, drilled a 55-yard attempt. Joseph is in a tough kicking competition with incumbent starter Anders Carlson, but the race is a bit close to call at this moment. The Packers wanted to give Carlson some legitimate competition and Joseph, last season's kicker for the Minnesota Vikings, was just that throughout camp. Wait and see before drafting either kicker in fantasy, but whoever wins the Packers' job should have decent value given how powerful the Packers' offense is.
Aug 24, 2024 5:19 PM EST
Green Bay Packers kickers Greg Joseph and Anders Carlson are in a competition for the starting job in 2024 after the team cut rookie James Turner last week. Carlson, a sixth-round pick last year, struggled at the end of his first year in the NFL, included a missed 41-yard field goal late in the Divisional Round loss to the San Francisco 49ers. It's been a close competition between the two in training camp, but ESPN's Rob Demovsky writes that Joseph has a slight advantage through the early portion based solely on the numbers. Joseph had made 36 of 40 field goals, while Carlson was 33-for-40. Carlson's only miss at practice last Saturday was from 57 yards out, though. Head coach Matt LaFleur anticipates the kicking competition playing out throughout the preseason, so Carlson has time to flip the script.
Aug 8, 2024 1:41 PM EST
Green Bay Packers kicker Greg Joseph has been outperforming returning starter Anders Carlson thus far in camp. Joseph is connecting on kicks at a 94% clip (29-of-31), including 7-for-7 at Thursday's practice, while Carlson has hit just 81% of his total attempts (25-of-31). This is a significant development as the Packers ranked 12th last season in points per game and project to be better this year with another year of growth for Jordan Love. Whoever holds the starting kicker position for Green Bay is sure to provide substantial value for fantasy managers this coming fall. Joseph is RotoBaller's K20, and Carlson was the K24 in 2023. There is an excellent chance for this ADP to be outperformed by one of these players while kicking for a rising Packers offense.
Aug 2, 2024 10:18 PM EST
The Green Bay Packers signed free-agent kicker Greg Joseph to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to his agent, Brett Tessler. Joseph kicked for the division-rival Minnesota Vikings the last three seasons and holds the NFL record for game-winning kicks in a season (five) and the Vikings record for longest field goal (61 yards). The 29-year-old went 83-for-101 on his field goals and 112-for-124 on extra points during his time in Minnesota. In addition to Joseph, the Packers have last year's sixth-rounder, Anders Carlson, on their roster, but Carlson struggled mightily in his rookie season and could now be on his way out. Joseph finished the 2023 season as the No. 24 kicker in terms of overall fantasy points and should be on the streaming radar in 2024 with Green Bay.
Mar 26, 2024 2:14 PM EST
Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph will look to keep his perfect start to the season going in Week 5, as he has connected on both of his field goal attempts and all 12 extra-point attempts through four games. Although reliable when called upon, Joseph hasn't got much of an opportunity to put points on the board this year, and a matchup with the Chiefs could suggest more of the same. In what could be a game script where the Vikings battle from behind, there is the possibility that Joseph will continue to get limited opportunities to kick field goals. Fantasy managers should treat him as nothing more than a risky streaming option.
