Joey Slye's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New England Patriots kicker Joey Slye can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues ahead of Sunday's Week 16 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Slye has been relatively mediocre this year, showcasing impressive power but struggling with accuracy on kicks that most NFL kickers would make. All in all, he's 19-for-20 on extra points and 23-for-30 on field goals in 2024. This week, the bad news for Slye is that he faces the Bills, who have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2024. To further complicate matters, he'll be kicking in Orchard Park, New York, which is known for cold temperatures, wind gusts, and potential snow in the winter months. Any of these weather conditions could affect Slye in Week 16, further reducing his fantasy value. For now, he's a mid-range K2 who lacks fantasy appeal on Sunday.

New England Patriots kicker Joey Slye warrants consideration in deeper fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 15 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The 28-year-old ranks 21st among kickers in fantasy points this year, but he's coming off an impressive performance in which he made three field goals, including one from beyond 50 yards. Very few kickers have demonstrated as much pure kicking power as Slye, but he's been held back by some short-range accuracy issues, as well as the Patriots' reduced scoring output on offense. With that said, we like his upside this week against the Cardinals, who have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points and third-most total field goals to opposing kickers. Even with bye weeks in the past and the fantasy playoffs underway, Slye is a fringe top-12 option, which means managers can justify starting him in leagues with at least a dozen teams.

New England Patriots kicker Joey Slye is not a reliable fantasy option heading into Sunday's Week 13 game against the Indianapolis Colts. The veteran has gone 19-for-23 on field goals and 16-for-17 on extra points this season, missing a 45-yarder last weekend. He has now missed a field goal in three of his last four games, demonstrating a lack of dependability in the middle portion of the 2024 season. Beyond Slye's unappealing ranking as the overall K22 this year, he faces a middle-of-the-road matchup this week in the form of the Colts, who have surrendered the 14th-most fantasy points to opposing kickers. The 28-year-old can be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues with 14 teams or fewer.
