Austin Seibert's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Washington Commanders placed kicker Austin Seibert (hip) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, meaning he will have to miss at least the next four games. Seibert was held out of action in Weeks 10 and 11 due to a right-hip injury and returned for the Week 12 loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, where he missed a 50-plus yard field goal and two extra-points -- one at the end of the contest that would have tied the game. The 28-year-old didn't look right and now won't be eligible to return to Washington until the regular-season finale in Week 18 versus the Cowboys. With Seibert on the shelf, the Commanders will most likely bring Zane Gonzalez back to the active roster after he filled in for Seibert in Weeks 10 and 11. The 29-year-old Gonzalez made his return to the NFL this year for the first time since 2021 and went 3-for-3 on FGs and 4-for-4 on extra points in his two games recently for Washington.

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert struggled in his return on Sunday afternoon in their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Seibert went 2-for-3 on field goal attempts and 0-for-2 on extra points. He connected on his field goals from 46 and 51 yards and missed one from 51 yards as well. He also missed the game-tying extra point in the final minutes. Seibert has yet to miss an extra point this season before this game, so fantasy managers should not be overly concerned. In addition, Seibert has yet to miss a field goal attempt from within 49 yards. Despite the rough showing this weekend, fantasy managers should still view Seibert as a solid K1 in all formats heading into a Week 13 tilt against the Tennessee Titans.

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (right hip) has been removed from the injury report and will play in Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys. Seibert had previously been listed as questionable, but he was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The 28-year-old has been one of the most productive kickers in fantasy football this season, going 25-for-27 on field goals and 22-for-22 on extra points through just eight games. He should be deployed as a high-end K1 option this week versus Dallas.

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Dallas Cowboys. Seibert has been sidelined for the past two weeks but was able to log a full practice on Friday, which is a positive sign of his availability for this divisional matchup. Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post reported that the kicker is "trending in the right way." Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status over the weekend if he faces a setback. If Seibert can suit up, he should be viewed as a high-end kicking option facing a struggling Dallas defense. If not, Zane Gonzalez could be worth a look in deeper formats, given the favorable matchup.

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) is "trending in the right way," according to head coach Dan Quinn. The 28-year-old has been sidelined over the past two weeks with a hip injury but is shaping up to have a good chance to return to action this weekend. This week, Seibert remained a limited participant during practice. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during Friday's session as it may provide clarity on his availability. In his absence, Zane Gonzalez took over starting duties. Before this injury, Seibert was enjoying a nice breakout campaign as he went 25-for-27 on attempts and a perfect 27-for-27 on extra points. If he can return to action on Sunday, fantasy managers should view him as a high-end option in all formats, as he is facing a struggling Dallas defense.
