Justin Tucker News
Monday, November 24, 11:01 AM
The New Orleans Saints are hosting kicker tryouts, and free agent Justin Tucker is among the players invited, according to Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Tucker served a 10-game suspension to start the 2025 season for violating the NFL's conduct policy after being the target of multiple sexual misconduct allegations. The 35-year-old is now free to sign with any team, and New Orleans is apparently interested in giving him a look after kicker Blake Grupe missed two field goal attempts in the team's Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The 35-year-old Tucker is a five-time All-Pro who made 89.1% of his 468 career field goal attempts over 13 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens from 2012 to 2024. However, he had his worst NFL season by far in 2024, making just 22 of 30 field goal attempts and just 11 out of 19 from 40-plus yards out. Even if he gets a second chance in the NFL with New Orleans, Tucker should likely remain off fantasy radars.

Jason Sanders News
Tuesday, August 25, 5:54 PM
New York Jets placekicker Jason Sanders is the favorite to win the starting job in 2026. Since the team released Cade York on Tuesday, Sanders is likely to be the Jets' kicker this season, assuming they don't make any other additions. In seven seasons with the Miami Dolphins, Sanders has made less than 85% of his field goal attempts, and he missed all of 2025 due to a hip injury sustained while warming up before a preseason game. Sanders will have tough shoes to fill in New York, where the Jets' kicker made a league-high 97% of his field goal attempts in 2025. Given his injury history and accuracy issues, along with the Jets' low-ranked offensive attack, Sanders should not be a target at kicker in fantasy drafts.
