Joey Slye Fantasy

The Carolina Panthers agreed to a one-year contract extension with impending exclusive-rights free-agent kicker Joey Slye on Thursday. In Slye's first NFL season, he was 25-for-32 on field-goal attempts and made 31 of his 35 extra points. He was 8-for-11 from 50-plus yards, with his longest make coming from 55 yards out. Slye's eight made kicks of over 50 yards was the most in the NFL in 2019 and set a franchise record. He also had 70 kickoffs with only three not resulting in a touchback. Slye took over as the kicker when Graham Gano was placed on Injured Reserve before the start of the season. He has a big leg, but he'll need to be more consistent to keep his job moving forward.

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye went 4-for-4 during the Thursday night loss to the Buccaneers. The rookie was efficient, to say the least, accounting for all of the team's offensive production while also tallying his second and third 50-plus yard kicks of the season. With quarterback Cam Newton failing to find the end zone throughout the first two games of the year, look for the 23-year-old to continue to shoulder the load of a struggling offense outside of Christian McCaffrey and D.J. Moore.
