Elliott Fry Fantasy

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.

Chicago Bears kicker Elliott Fry is in a battle with teammate Eddy Pineiro to earn the starting kicking job when the team opens the season against the Packers on September 5. The former AAF kicker slipped on the grass and missed a field goal on a rainy day at camp but rebounded to go 8-for-10 in drills, including a 60-yard field goal. The Bears kicking situation has been in flux since they cut ties with embattled kicker Cody Parkey. This competition should play itself out all the way up to the beginning of the season.
