Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard is a fringe top option in Week 16 when his team lines up against the Seattle Seahawks on the road. The rookie was excellent in last weekend's 30-12 win over the Chicago Bears, knocking in all six of his kicks (three extra points), including his first field goals since returning from a quad injury that forced him to injured reserve. Despite his monster Week 15 outing, he'll be tougher to trust against a Seahawks unit that's allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to kickers in 2024 (6.8). Even with a potent Minnesota offense behind him, fantasy managers can likely find a better kicking option in the fantasy semi-finals. Reichard is RotoBaller's K14 ahead of this week's slate of action.
Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard is a strong option this weekend when he lines up against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. The rookie returned from injured reserve last Sunday to drive through all six extra-point attempts in the Vikings' defeat of the Atlanta Falcons. However, he did miss his lone field goal try. Reichard actually hasn't converted a field goal since missing both tries in Week 9 against the Colts -; the week he got injured. Still, he's yet to miss a point after attempt in his career. Chicago is letting up one of the higher average point-per-game numbers to placekickers (9.1) and has been a bit more porous overall on the defensive end over the last few weeks. The 23-year-old is RotoBaller's K4 for Week 15.
Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard went 6-for-6 on extra points but missed his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie returned from injured reserve this week, but his accuracy issues persisted; he is now 0-for-3 on field goals over his last two games. On a more positive note, he has been perfect on 29 extra-point attempts so far. Reichard ranked as the overall K12 from Weeks 1 to 9. Despite Sunday's miss from 47 yards out, the 23-year-old still has significant fantasy upside given Minnesota's strong offense. He remains just inside the top 12 kicking options for Week 15 against Chicago.
Minnesota Vikings rookie kicker Will Reichard (quadriceps), who was activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday, is officially active for the Week 14 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Reichard was listed as questionable on the final injury report this week but will end up playing for the first time since he landed on IR in early November due to a strained right quadriceps in the win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. With Reichard coming back for the Vikings, the team waived John Parker Romo, who had been filling in admirably for Minnesota with Reichard sidelined. Before going on IR, the 23-year-old Reichard had gone 14-for-16 on his field-goal tries while making all 23 of his extra-point attempts in his first eight NFL games. He'll be a bit more risky in fantasy coming off his quad injury, but Reichard should at least be considered a streaming option with six teams on bye in Week 14.
Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard (quad) has been activated from the injured reserve on Saturday. The rookie kicker appears ready to go after missing the last four games due to a strained quad. Before going down, Reichard knocked down 14-of-16 field goal attempts while making all 23 extra-point tries in eight games. The Vikings have waived fellow kicker John Parker Romo, so Reichard will reclaim the starting kicker role ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Fantasy managers in need of help at the kicker spot this weekend should take a look at Reichard.
