Cody Parkey Fantasy Stats

New Orleans Saints kicker Cody Parkey (groin) is heading to the injured reserve with a groin ailment. Parkey sustained the injury during the pregame of Sunday's win over Washington and attempted to kick through it, though he had an uneven performance, making 3 of 5 extra points. With Wil Lutz' (core) return reportedly around the corner, the 29-year-old Parkey would be on the outside looking in even if he were healthy. New Orleans' kicking situation continues to be a dire one for fantasy purposes- as they'll likely have to bring in a fourth kicker if Lutz is unable to return off their Week 6 bye.

New Orleans Saints kicker Cody Parkey shouldn't be in starting lineups this week. The veteran kicker just joined the team this week after it released Aldrick Rosas and shouldn't be trusted right away in a new offense. Parkey has been kind of streaky his entire career and went 19-for-22 in field goals and 43-for-47 in extra points with the Browns last season. There are better starting options this week.

New Orleans Saints kicker Aldrick Rosas has been released by the team Tuesday. New Orleans has elected to sign free-agent kicker Cody Parkey, who worked out with the club Tuesday afternoon. Rosas had missed his last three field-goal attempts, drawing the ire of head coach Sean Payton. Parkey, who made the Pro Bowl as a rookie in 2014, has played seven NFL seasons with five different teams, though he is more of a serviceable starter than a fantasy-relevant kicker. Fantasy managers should avoid the Saints' kicking situation until Wil Lutz (core), considered week-to-week, returns from injury.

Cleveland Browns kicker Cody Parkey (quad) suffered a quad injury during Sunday's 17-13 preseason win over the New York Giants, per head coach Kevin Stefanski. He converted his only extra-point attempt and exited the game shortly after. The 29-year-old signed a one-year deal with Cleveland during the offseason. He made 19 of his 22 field-goal attempts (86.4 percent) and 43 of his 47 extra-point tries. The severity of Parkey's quad injury is unknown at this time, and he's considered day-to-day. Cleveland would most likely sign a kicker via free agency to fill in if Parkey were to miss any games.

The Cleveland Browns re-signed kicker Cody Parkey to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, according to a source. In his second stint with the team last year, Parkey made 19 of his 22 field-goal attempts (86.4 percent) and 43 of his 47 extra-point tries. He was also able to send 55.6 percent of his kickoffs into the end zone for touchbacks. The 29-year-old made the Pro Bowl in his rookie season in 2014 with the Philadelphia Eagles, when he made 32 of his 36 field-goal tries (88.9 percent). He's also played for the Miami Dolphins, Chicago Bears and Tennessee Titans in his seven-year NFL career. Parkey is a career 84.6 percent kicker and finished last season as the No. 23 fantasy booter. He'll be left to the waiver wire to begin the season in most fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Browns kicker Cody Parkey (COVID-19 list) had been in danger of missing Sunday's contest versus the Eagles after having been placed on the COVID-19/reserve list earlier in the week, but he placed back on the active roster Saturday. (Offensive tackle Jack Conklin was also added off of the same list.) Parkey ranks as one of the lowest-rostered kickers in the league, despite having missed just one extra point and one field goal all season. Cleveland's desire to not kick long field goals has undoubtedly factored into that, as Parkey has not attempted a field goal from 50 yards or longer all year. With rain expected Sunday, fantasy managers can leave Parkey on the waiver wire for the time being for more consistent options on high-octane offenses.

The Cleveland Browns are placing kicker Cody Parkey, offensive tackle Jack Conklin and long snapper Charley Hughlett on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. All three players were deemed as high-risk close contacts, so their status for Week 11 against the Eagles is to be determined. The Browns have kicker Matthew McCrane on their practice squad if Parkey is forced to miss this weekend's game, but fantasy managers will be better off avoiding Cleveland's kicking situation entirely. Parkey currently ranks 27th in football at his position in overall fantasy points in his eight games played.

Cleveland Browns kicker Cody Parkey hit both of his field goals in a 34-20 win over the Washington Football Team. Parkey hit on field goals of 42 and 30 yards while also adding on four extra points. The veteran kicker has now hit all nine of his extra points, while the field goal attempts in Week 3 were his first of the season. More importantly, he has brought stability to the position after former kicker Austin Siebert was released for missing several kicks in Week 1. Parkey could be busy in Week 4 against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cleveland Browns are signing kicker Cody Parkey to their 53-man roster on Monday, according to a source. It's a sign that Parkey will kick on Thursday night against the Bengals after Austin Seibert missed both of his attempts -- a 41-yard field-goal attempt and an extra point -- in the Week 1 blowout loss to the Ravens. Parkey was released by the Titans last year after making all three of his field-goal attempts, including a 51-yarder, in three games for Tennessee. He was a Pro Bowler in his rookie season with the Eagles and has made 84.3 percent of his 121 field goals attempted over six seasons. If he replaces Seibert as the team's primary kicker, you can ignore him in fantasy with the Browns offense already off to a slow start.

The Tennessee Titans activated kicker Ryan Succop (knee) from the Injured Reserve on Saturday and waived Cody Parkey in a corresponding move. Succop resumed practicing with the team last month and will kick in Week 9 against the Panthers. Parkey kicked in the team's last three games after being signed to replace Cairo Santos, who was the kicker for the first five games. Succop made 26 of 30 (86.7 percent) of his field goals for Tennessee last year and has an 83.6 percent success rate in his 10-year career. It's probably not the best idea to start Succop right away coming off his injury, but he certainly could become a streamer for fantasy owners before the end of the season.
