Eddy Piñeiro Fantasy

The New York Jets have signed kicker Eddy Pineiro to their active roster, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus. This comes after Alex Kessman missed two extra-point attempts in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Pineiro began the season on the Washington practice squad, and will now get a chance to start for the first time since his tenure with the Chicago Bears. The 26-year-old made 23-of-28 field goals in 2019, where he was 8-for-8 from 20-29 yards, 9-for-10 from 30-39 yards, 3-for-7 from 40-49 yards, and 2-for-2 from 50+ yards.

The Washington Football Team has signed kicker Eddy Pineiro to their practice squad. The 25-year-old didn't play during the 2020 season, so his most recent action was in 2019. The former Chicago Bear made 23-of-28 field goals while making 27-of-29 extra points during his only NFL season. Pineiro was most recently with the Indianapolis Colts, spending most of the training camp kicking behind Rodrigo Blankenship. He made all four of his kicks in the preseason, with his longest being a 50-yarder. The former Florida Gator provides some insurance behind starter Dustin Hopkins, as he can be a reliable option if Hopkins were to miss any time or struggle early on.

The Indianapolis Colts released kicker Eddy Pineiro on Tuesday. Rodrigo Blankenship wins the Colts starting kicking job. Pineiro signed a one-year deal with the Colts during the offseason and did not miss a kick all preseason. He made all of his three field-goal attempts from 31, 50, and 28 yards in Saturday's win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 25-year-old should draw interest from NFL teams in search for a kicker. Pineiro, who kicked for the Bears in 2019, made both of his 50-plus yard attempts while going 23-for-28 overall. Blankenship is a K1 and is expected to be one of the top-10 kickers off the draft board in upcoming fantasy drafts.
