Elliott Fry Fantasy

The Jacksonville Jaguars cut rookie kicker Andrew Mevis and signed veteran kicker Elliott Fry on Friday after Mevis wildly missed three field-goal tries during training camp warmups -- one of his misses hit former Dallas Cowboys head coach Dave Campo. Fry has only appeared in three games in his time with the Bears, Ravens, Panthers, Buccaneers, Falcons, Chiefs, Packers and Bengals. The 27-year-old has made five of his six field goals and five of seven extra points in his two NFL seasons. He went 14-for-14 on field-goal attempts for the Orlando Apollos of the AAF in 2019. Mevis was signed as an undrafted free agent this offseason to compete with Ryan Santoso. Fantasy managers should avoid the kicking situation in Jacksonville.

The Atlanta Falcons signed kicker Elliott Fry to their practice squad on Thursday with Younghoe Koo (groin) expected to miss time with a groin strain. There's a chance that Fry is elevated to the active roster in time to make his NFL debut on Monday night against the Packers. The Falcons have no other place kicker on their roster, so we'd expect Fry to get the nod this week unless they bring in another kicker between now and Monday. The Falcons have scored plenty of points through three weeks, making Koo fantasy relevant in the majority of leagues, but Fry should be avoided if he gets a shot because of his lack of experience.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have claimed kicker Elliott Fry off waivers, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The 25-year-old signed with the Panthers at the conclusion of the 2019 season, but never got a chance to be with the team essentially. The undrafted player out of South Carolina has been with three previous NFL teams, the Ravens, Bears, and Panthers, but has yet to make a kick in the league. The Buccaneers also have kicker Matt Gay, who went 27-for-35 last season on kicks, good for 77 percent. He also went 43-for-48 on extra points. With Fry now on the team, a kicking competition seems realistic on the Bucs.
