The New York Giants released veteran kicker Chandler Catanzaro on Monday, according to a source. With the move, Graham Gano, who was signed by the team on Sunday, will enter 2020 as the team's starting kicker. Gano reunites with former Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman in New York. The 33-year-old kicker has been pretty solid in his career and could resurface on the fantasy radar if he proves he's back to full health. Gano has been put on Injured Reserve each of the last two seasons.
The New York Giants agreed to sign kicker Chandler Catanzaro to a one-year deal. Catanzaro "retired" in August, but likely wasn't too hard to convince to come back onto the field. He's kicked for the Panthers, Bucs, Jets, and Cardinals in his career, making 83.8 percent of his field goal attempts. The signing comes after the Giants released Aldrick Rosas, who had kicked for them since 2017. Rosas was charged with three misdemeanors after a hit-and-run earlier in the offseason.
The New York Jets signed free-agent kicker Chandler Catanzaro to an undisclosed deal on Friday. Catanzaro spent the 2017 season with Gang Green before spending time with the Panthers and Buccaneers last year. He made a career-low 73 percent of his field-goal tries in 13 games in 2018, including going 2-for-2 from 50-plus yards. He represents a downgrade from Pro Bowler Jason Myers a year ago and can be avoided for fantasy purposes.
The Carolina Panthers signed free-agent kicker Chandler Catanzaro on Friday with Graham Gano (knee) limited in practice on Thursday. Guard Amini Silatolu (knee) was put on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Those that own Gano need to make alternate plans this week with him being questionable after missing practice on Friday. Catanzaro made 11 of his 15 field-goal tries in nine games with the Buccaneers this year, including making only 23 of his 27 extra points. If he's forced into action against the Browns on Sunday, he should be avoided for fantasy purposes.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released kicker Chandler Catanzaro on Monday, according to sources. Catanzaro made 11 of his 15 field-goal tries and 23 of his 27 extra-point attempts this year. He missed two of his three tries in the Week 10 loss to the Redskins and was let go as a result. Whoever Tampa brings in will not be fantasy-relevant.
Buccaneers kicker Chandler Catanzaro missed an extra point and a field goal in the Bucs' preseason opener but has reportedly "moved on" from it. He watched the game tape a few days ago and noticed where the attempts when awry and will do everything to correct it going forward. Tampa Bay has had notable issues in the kicker department after shuffling through players like Nick Folk and former second-round pick Roberto Aguayo in recent years. As long as Catanzaro can stay consistent, he should be the Bucs' go-to guy in 2018.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers place kicker Chandler Catanzaro is having a great training camp and has rarely missed his field goal attempts. The Bucs failed with Roberto Aguayo and Nick Folk in recent years, and Catanzaro also has a stronger leg. The 27-year-old booter made 25 of his 30 attempts (83.3 percent) with the Jets last year, including going 2-for-2 from 50-plus yards. With Tampa's offense expected to take a step forward this year, Catanzaro could be a sleeper at the kicking position. Starting off the year without Jameis Winston under center, though, may prove problematic for the offense as a whole. You can probably leave Catanzaro to the waiver wire to begin the year.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are signing free-agent place kicker Chandler Catanzaro to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to a source. The Bucs had no consistency from the kicking position in 2017 and were still feeling the effects of drafting kicker Roberto Aguayo way too early several years ago. Catanzaro hit 25 of his 30 field goal tries for the Jets in 2017, including both his attempts from 50-plus yards. While he isn't the most attractive fantasy kicker, he should help stabilize the position for the team next year, and he could be somewhat of a sleeper streamer if Tampa's offense can finally figure it out behind quarterback Jameis Winston.
The New York Jets picked place kicker Chandler Catanzaro over Ross Martin to be their kicker entering the 2017 regular season. Martin outkicked Catanzaro in practice, but the team was concerned about his hang time and distance for kickoffs. Catanzaro made just 21 of 28 field goal attempts for the Cardinals last year, good enough for a 75 percent success rate. He also missed four extra points. Kicking for what could be an historically bad offense, Catanzaro is far from fantasy relevance.
