Austin Seibert Fantasy

Cleveland Browns kicker Austin Seibert made both of his field goal attempts in the team's 20-16 preseason win over the Detroit Lions. He also tacked on two extra points in the win. Many expected that it would be Greg Joseph who would carry out the kicking duties in the fourth game after Seibert played the entire third preseason game. That wasn't the case as Joseph didn't attempt a kick for the second consecutive preseason contest. That should all but lock Seibert in as the team's kicker when they begin the regular season next weekend against the Tennessee Titans. While the two battled for the starting role all preseason, Joseph had an uphill battle to make the roster after Cleveland used a fifth-round rookie pick on Seibert in the 2019 draft this past spring.

Cleveland Browns kicker Austin Seibert nailed all four of his field goal attempts in a 13-12 preseason loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday. His long field goal went for 54 yards in the loss. The rookie kicker has made headlines for the wrong reasons this preseason due to his struggles with accuracy after Cleveland made him a fifth-round pick in the past draft. Fortunately for Seibert, his main competitor Greg Joseph hasn't been any better in the kicking game. Joseph did not get a chance to play on Friday night, presumably he will get the entire fourth preseason game to show that he is the man for the job. Whoever wins the kicker job will have some fantasy value tied to what will be an exciting offense this season.

Cleveland Browns rookie kicker Austin Seibert is struggling in his first training camp. In somewhat of a surprise, the team used a fifth-round pick on the former Oklahoma kicker in the 2019 draft. Seibert is competing with Greg Joseph, who was the team's kicker for most of the 2018 season but most expected the former to win the job without much trouble, as is usually the case when a team burns a draft pick on a kicker. Through Sunday's practice, Seibert has missed 4-of-8 field goal attempts during practice. Whoever wins the job should have some fantasy value in what will be a much-improved Cleveland offense this season.
