Cleveland Browns kicker Chris Naggar made his lone field goal, a 37 yarder, and went 1-for-2 on extra points in a 24-22 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Naggar had spent all of the season on the team's practice squad but was elevated when Chase McLaughlin was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Naggar's stay with the Browns could be short as McLaughlin has a chance to be activated in time for his team's Week 17 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Cleveland Browns kicker Chris Naggar was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad on Saturday afternoon. Naggar could be forced into action against the Chiefs on Sunday if Chase McLaughlin (hamstring) is unable to play. An undrafted rookie out of SMU, Naggar spent training camp with the Jets but was unable to beat out Matt Ammendola for the kicking job. Through 10 collegiate games last year, he went 43-for-46 on extra points and 17-for-21 on field goals. The Browns have until Sunday at 2:55 p.m. EST to decide between Naggar and McLaughlin.
New York Jets kicker Chris Naggar was cut by the organization earlier this week. He was battling with Matt Ammendola for the kicker spot in New York. Naggar struggled during training camp and that carried over into the preseason. He connected on 1-for-2 field goal attempts during their preseason matchup with the New York Giants. Possibly, Naggar gets a chance elsewhere, but don't expect him to have much fantasy value. It sounds like Ammendola has won the kicker job. Ammendola is an undrafted kicker out of Oklahoma State. He spent time with the Carolina Panthers, but never saw any game action. Fantasy managers shouldn't bank on the young kicker being reliable.
