Titans Bringing Back Joey Slye on a One-Year Deal

Wednesday, March 11, 7:22 AM

The Tennessee Titans are re-signing kicker Joey Slye to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, a source told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Slye will return to Nashville after going 28-for-35 on his field-goal attempts (9-for-14 from 50-plus yards) and 26-for-27 on his extra-point opportunities in 16 games last year. The 29-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Virginia Tech was mostly off the fantasy radar in 2025 in an inconsistent Titans offense led by rookie quarterback Cameron Ward. Slye finished as the No. 20 fantasy kicker in terms of overall fantasy points. For his career, Slye has made only 81.4% of his 215 field-goal attempts for six different teams over the course of seven seasons. The Titans' offense could make some improvements in Ward's second season under a new coaching staff, but fantasy managers should have higher-ceiling options to choose from this fall.

Charlie Smyth Now Listed as Saints' Starting Kicker

Tuesday, November 3, 2:00 PM

The New Orleans Saints' depth chart now lists Charlie Smyth as the starting kicker, even though he is not technically on the active roster, according to Saints reporter Jeff Nowak. The Saints cut veteran Daniel Carlson on Tuesday, and it looks like the 25-year-old Smyth is going to get the next chance to serve as New Orleans' starting placekicker as they come off their bye to face the Cleveland Browns at home this Sunday in Week 9. Smyth made his NFL debut last year with the Saints and went 12-for-16 on his field-goal attempts (4-for-6 from 50-plus yards out) and 13-for-13 on his extra points in six games played. He missed only a 56-yarder in the preseason for the Saints but still lost out on the starting job to the more experienced Carlson. Even if Smyth is officially named the Saints' new kicker, fantasy managers should be avoiding the Ireland product for this week and going forward.
