New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein has made six of his eight field-goal attempts in 2024, working out to an average of just 1.6 attempts per game. He will look for more work heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night. The Bills have been tough on kickers this season, allowing just the 26th-most fantasy points per game to the position through five games. Zuerlein isn't seeing enough volume to be trusted as a top-15 fantasy option heading into Week 6.

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein made his lone field-goal attempt and added two extra points in a 23-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. Zuerlein drilled a 32-yard field goal in the third quarter but wasn't asked to do much else in the close loss in London. The veteran kicker has now made six of his eight field goals while hitting all nine of his extra points through five games. Zuerlein will now gear up to kick against the Buffalo Bills in Week 6's Monday night game.

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein will head to London to take on the Minnesota Vikings in London in Week 5. Zuerlein has been a bit erratic of late, having missed two of his six attempts over the past two games. He will look to get back on track but he may have a hard time against a Vikings defense that is allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing kickers this season. To make matters worse, the Jets offense plays slow and hasn't been very high-scoring this season, which has limited Zuerlein's attempts. He settles in outside the top-20 fantasy kickers this weekend.
Oct 4, 2024 6:34 PM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein made three of his four field goals in a 10-9 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 4. Zuerlein provided all of the offense for the Jets on a rainy day in New Jersey in the close loss. The veteran kicker made field goals from 23, 35, and 40 yards out while missing on a 50-yard attempt late in the fourth quarter that would have given the Jets the lead. Zuerlein has struggled with his accuracy this season, missing on two of his seven field-goal attempts through four weeks. He will look to regroup ahead of a Week 5 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in London.
Sep 29, 2024 8:34 PM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein had made two of his three field-goal attempts and all seven of his extra points through the first three games of the season. He will look for more chances to kick in Week 4's home matchup against the Denver Broncos. The Broncos have been stingy against kickers this season, allowing just the 25th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Zuerlein hasn't been getting enough field-goal attempts to trust in fantasy this season, leaving him outside of the top 15 at the position for Week 4.
Sep 27, 2024 8:48 PM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein made one of his two field goal attempts and added three extra points in a 24-3 win over the New England Patriots in Week 3. Zuerlein hit a 28-yard field goal in the fourth quarter but missed on a 45-yard attempt shortly before halftime. The veteran kicker has now made two of three field goals and all seven of his extra points through three games. Zuerlein will now have a few extra days to rest ahead of a Week 4 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
Sep 20, 2024 5:45 AM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein has been quiet through the first two weeks of the season, having attempted just one field goal over that span. He will hope for a larger workload against the New England Patriots in Week 3's Thursday night game. Zuerlein was a solid fantasy kicker in 2023 as he missed just three of his 38 field-goal attempts but he is hard to trust in fantasy this season until the Jets start affording him more chances.
Sep 18, 2024 7:08 PM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein made his lone field-goal try and added three extra points in a 24-17 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. Zuerlein drilled a 33-yard try in the third quarter, his first field-goal attempt through the first two games of the season. It has been slow going thus far but the veteran kicker should start to see field-goal chances more frequently as the New York offense comes together. He will have a short turnaround as the Jets play the New England Patriots in Week 3's Thursday night game.
Sep 15, 2024 10:16 PM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein was quiet in a Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, attempting just one extra point in the Monday night game. He will look to get it going in Week 2's road matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee's defense was generous to fantasy kickers in 2023, allowing the most fantasy points per game to the position. That trend continued in Week 1 this season as they gave up three field goals to Cairo Santos, including a 50-yarder. Thanks to his plus matchup, Zuerlein can be trusted as a top-10 fantasy kicker against the Titans.
Sep 13, 2024 10:12 PM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein made his lone extra-point try and did not attempt any field goals in a 32-19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. Zuerlein's number was not called often as the Jets were down big after halftime and attempted two-point conversions following both of their second-half touchdowns. Zuerlein will have better days ahead in more favorable matchups. He will now prepare to take on the Tennessee Titans in Week 2.
Sep 10, 2024 5:15 AM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein will head on the road to take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. Zuerlein had a strong season for the Jets in 2023, hitting 35 of his 38 field-goal tries while adding 15 extra points. He should see more scoring opportunities with Aaron Rodgers back under center after missing almost the entire season last year. Zuerlein can be treated as a top-15 fantasy option against a 49ers defense that allowed the 18th-most fantasy points per game to kickers last season.
Sep 7, 2024 8:32 PM EST
The New York Jets are re-signing veteran kicker Greg Zuerlein to a two-year, $8.4 million deal. The 36-year-old made 35 of his 38 field-goal attempts and 13 of his 14 extra-point tries in 2023. With quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) out of action, the Jets' offense sputtered, leading to a ton of stalled-out drives and field-goal attempts. If Rodgers is good to go for 2024 and is playing at a high level, more drives could be converted into touchdowns. That said, Zuerlein has a wide range of outcomes in fantasy football next season.
Mar 11, 2024 4:48 PM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein made two of his three field goal attempts and converted on both of his extra-point tries in last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns. The 36-year-old's final showing of the season will come against the New England Patriots in Week 18. Although New England has been vulnerable to fantasy kickers this year, Sunday's contest is projected to be the lowest-scoring affair of the week. Back in Week 3, these division rivals combined for just 25 total points with Zuerlein attempting only one field goal and one extra point. Fantasy managers in need of a starting kicker this week should search for one in a better game environment than Zuerlein.
Jan 6, 2024 1:46 AM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein (quadriceps), who was listed as questionable to play in Week 17, is officially active for the Thursday night game against the Cleveland Browns. Zuerlein already wasn't much of a fantasy option to begin with coming into this game, and fantasy managers should really be avoiding him in championship matchups now that he's unlikely to be 100 percent healthy on Thursday evening. Greg the Leg currently ranks tied for 19th in overall fantasy points this year in a lackluster Jets offense. The 36-year-old has only missed one field goal on the year on 31 attempts, but he's also attempted only 14 extra points in 14 games, which ranks 31st in the NFL. Zuerlein should not be trusted in starting fantasy lineups, especially while going up against a strong Cleveland defense.
Dec 28, 2023 7:22 PM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein (quad) got in a limited practice on Wednesday as his team gears up to face off against the Cleveland Browns in Week 17's Thursday night game. Zuerlein missed practice on Tuesday but his ability to get back on the field on a limited basis on Wednesday is a positive sign for the veteran kicker. The Jets did add kicker Austin Seibert to their practice squad on Wednesday, giving them a fallback plan in case Zuerlein is unable to give it a go on Thursday. Fantasy gamers rostering Zuerlein will want to have a backup plan in place, as well, in case he is inactive.
Dec 27, 2023 9:16 PM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein is reportedly dealing with soreness in his right quad coming out of his team's Week 16 win over the Washington Commanders. With the Jets slated to face off against the Cleveland Browns in the Week 17 Thursday night game, Zuerlein's status is in jeopardy. The team is expected to see how he is feeling over the next few days as kickoff approaches. It would be a bad sign for Zuerlein's potential availability if the Jets make a move to sign another kicker on Wednesday.
Dec 26, 2023 9:32 PM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein (right quad) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday. With the Jets in the midst of a short week, any sort of injury is worth monitoring. However, the fact that the Jets marked him as limited rather than a non-participant suggests he has a good chance to play on Thursday night versus the Cleveland Browns. The veteran has converted field goals at an impressive 30-for-31 clip this year, making him a solid fantasy option in most leagues.
Dec 25, 2023 8:42 PM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein was not asked to do anything in Week 15 as the team failed to score a point against the Miami Dolphins in a blowout loss. He'll hope to get involved in an extremely favorable matchup with the Washington Commanders this week. Washington's defense surrenders the most points in the NFL, so it is no surprise that the Commanders have allowed the second-most fantasy points to kickers this season. There is potential for Zuerlein to have a busy afternoon on Sunday, but New York's offense simply can't be trusted to move the ball effectively, especially not with quarterback Trevor Siemian making his first start of the campaign.
Dec 22, 2023 9:39 PM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein was excellent in Week 14, drilling three field goals and going three-for-three on extra-point tries. Unfortunately, he may not see as many opportunities on the road in Week 15 against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins' defense has been rather stout at home this season, limiting opponents to just over 19 points per contest. Additionally, Miami has surrendered the fifth-fewest fantasy points to kickers. Although the Jets looked much improved last week with Zach Wilson under center, fantasy managers should not be targeting Zuerlein in this matchup.
Dec 15, 2023 10:47 PM EST
New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein drilled both of his field goal attempts last week and will hope to have similar success against the Houston Texans in Week 14. The Jets' offense could be improved on Sunday with Zach Wilson back under center but still does not instill much confidence for fantasy purposes. With the Texans limiting opponents to fewer than 21 points per contest this season, Zuerlein should remain on waiver wires in most redraft leagues.
