Greg Zuerlein's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein will head on the road to take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. Zuerlein had a strong season for the Jets in 2023, hitting 35 of his 38 field-goal tries while adding 15 extra points. He should see more scoring opportunities with Aaron Rodgers back under center after missing almost the entire season last year. Zuerlein can be treated as a top-15 fantasy option against a 49ers defense that allowed the 18th-most fantasy points per game to kickers last season.

The New York Jets are re-signing veteran kicker Greg Zuerlein to a two-year, $8.4 million deal. The 36-year-old made 35 of his 38 field-goal attempts and 13 of his 14 extra-point tries in 2023. With quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) out of action, the Jets' offense sputtered, leading to a ton of stalled-out drives and field-goal attempts. If Rodgers is good to go for 2024 and is playing at a high level, more drives could be converted into touchdowns. That said, Zuerlein has a wide range of outcomes in fantasy football next season.

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein made two of his three field goal attempts and converted on both of his extra-point tries in last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns. The 36-year-old's final showing of the season will come against the New England Patriots in Week 18. Although New England has been vulnerable to fantasy kickers this year, Sunday's contest is projected to be the lowest-scoring affair of the week. Back in Week 3, these division rivals combined for just 25 total points with Zuerlein attempting only one field goal and one extra point. Fantasy managers in need of a starting kicker this week should search for one in a better game environment than Zuerlein.
