Jets Beat: Team will likely have new kicker this week

Dec 14, 2020

Sergio Castillo’s time as the Jets kicker is likely over, as two different pieces of news Monday signaled that the Jets were ready to move on.

The Jets gave the 30-year-old Castillo his first six games of NFL experience. He had three decent games before fraying in the last three weeks. A missed chip shot against the Dolphins and extra point against the Raiders were followed by a full-blown meltdown in Seattle, where three straight Jets drives ended in Castillo misses from 37, 41 and 43 yards.

Fantasy Impact:

The Jets claimed McLaughlin off waivers on Monday. As the story said, McLaughlin had been part of the revolving door at kicker for the Jags, going 4-for-5 on field goals and 3-for-4 on extra points in three games. He bounced around between three teams in his 2019 rookie season, going 18-for-23 with the Colts, Chargers and Niners. That’s an unspectacular 78%, but Castillo has as many misses in ten fewer attempts this year. At 61.5%, Castillo has the worst field goal percentage in the NFL among qualified kickers, the story said.

CeeDee Lamb (back) added to injury report, questionable for Monday

Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was added to the injury report Saturday with a back injury and is questionable for Monday against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact:

Head coach Mike McCarthy is optimistic Lamb will play Monday. It’s the latest in a string of injuries for the 3-6 Cowboys. Lamb sounds like he’ll be good to go, but grabbing a player like Jalen Tolbert may not be the worst idea as a potential backup plan.

Nico Collins off injury report, good to go for Week 11

Houston Texans

yesterday · 6:38 PM EST

Texans WR Nico Collins is good to go for Week 11 against the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact:

Collins got in two days of full practice Friday and Saturday and does not have an injury designation for Monday. He was activated from injured reserve last week but was held out for one more game. He’ll make his return for his first game since injuring his hamstring back in Week 5. Collins was leading the league in receiving before his injury so expect he and C.J. Stroud to pick up right where they left off. Collins should be back in WR1 (top-12) territory.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby officially Out for Week 11

The Jaguars ruled out QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Tank Bigsby for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Related Players: Mac Jones, Travis Etienne, D'Ernest Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

We already knew Mac Jones was declared the starter, but Bigsby being out gives a boost to Etienne. That said, he's still a borderline RB2/3 in a bad offense, in a bad matchup.
