Brett Maher News
The Los Angeles Rams are signing veteran kicker Brett Maher on Monday after waiving rookie Lucas Havrisik earlier in the day. Maher began the year as the Rams' kicker and played in the first seven weeks before getting cut on Oct. 24, going 17-for-23 (73.9 percent) on his field-goal opportunities and 12-for-13 with his extra points. Havrisik was cut by the Rams on Monday after missing two of his four extra points in a one-point win over the New York Giants on Sunday. LA just has been unable to settle on a kicker all season, but Maher will hope to come back in and be more successful than he was earlier in the year as the team gets ready for another playoff appearance. In the Week 18 regular season finale against the San Francisco 49ers with key starters potentially being rested, Maher should be avoided for fantasy lineups.
The Los Angeles Rams released veteran kicker Brett Maher on Tuesday and are planning to sign former Indianapolis Colts kicker Lucas Havrisik off the Cleveland Browns practice squad in a corresponding move, according to sources. Maher gets the axe after missing two field-goal attempts and an extra point in the Week 7 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 33-year-old went 17-for-23 on his field-goal tries and made 12 of his 13 extra points in seven games in LA this year before getting cut. Fantasy managers that had been using Maher will need to go in another direction moving forward. Havrisik, 24, went undrafted out of Arizona in 2022 and will be making his NFL debut in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys. He won't be recommended as a starting lineup option at the position in fantasy.
Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher is currently the second overall kicker through the first six weeks of the season. The 33-year-old has hit 16-of-20 field goal attempts and is perfect on extra-point tries. The Rams have been very aggressive offensively, creating constant opportunities for Maher to knock down field goals. He has proven to be a top-three option at the position weekly and should not be on any waiver wires anymore. Fire Maher up with the utmost confidence in the team's Week 7 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
