Greg Joseph Fantasy

The Minnesota Vikings are signing former Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Greg Joseph to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to a source. Joseph was on Tampa's practice squad for most of the 2020 season, including the Super Bowl, with the Bucs often blocking other teams from signing him. The 26-year-old kicked in two games for the Tennessee Titans in 2019 and made all nine of his extra points but didn't attempt a single field goal. He was released by Tennessee before the 2020 season when they signed veteran Stephen Gostkowski. Prior to 2019, Joseph made 85 percent of his 20 field-goal attempts with Cleveland in 2018. He's being brought in to compete with Dan Bailey, who made just 15 of his 22 field-goal tries (career-low 68.2 percent) last year.

Tennessee Titans kicker Ryan Succop was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday with a knee injury. Succop started the season on IR because of a knee injury, then was activated and made just one of his six field goal tries. The team had no choice but to send him back to the sidelines. They signed Greg Joseph to take Succop's place. The Titans are looking to avoid being the first NFL team since 1987 to miss more field goals than they make. They're currently at eight field goals made and 10 missed.

Cleveland Browns kicker Austin Seibert made both of his field goal attempts in the team's 20-16 preseason win over the Detroit Lions. He also tacked on two extra points in the win. Many expected that it would be Greg Joseph who would carry out the kicking duties in the fourth game after Seibert played the entire third preseason game. That wasn't the case as Joseph didn't attempt a kick for the second consecutive preseason contest. That should all but lock Seibert in as the team's kicker when they begin the regular season next weekend against the Tennessee Titans. While the two battled for the starting role all preseason, Joseph had an uphill battle to make the roster after Cleveland used a fifth-round rookie pick on Seibert in the 2019 draft this past spring.
