Eddy Pineiro's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 18 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This news was widely expected after the Panthers listed him as doubtful heading into the weekend. The 28-year-old had appeared in Carolina's previous 16 games this season, converting 86 percent of his field goals. This week, he'll be replaced by Matthew Wright, who remains off the fantasy radar given the Panthers' ongoing offensive struggles.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) missed practice all week due to his right-hamstring injury and is doubtful to kick in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 28-year-old kicker will wrap up the 2023 season with two straight missed games to close out the year. Overall, he made 25 of his 29 field-goal attempts (86.2 percent) while missing three of his 20 extra-point tries over 15 games played. With Pineiro unlikely to play this weekend, the Panthers will elevate Matthew Wright from their practice squad to the active roster for the final game of the season. Fantasy managers in DFS or those still playing for a championship in Week 18 should be looking to avoid Wright.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) did not practice for the second day this week while nursing a hamstring injury. Pineiro strained the muscle during pregame warmups ahead of Week 17's contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars and was held out of the game. Kickoff duties were handled by linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill and there were no extra-point or field goal opportunities in that game. The Panthers signed Matthew Wright to their practice squad on Tuesday in case Pineiro can't recover in time to play in the season finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
