Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Jon Brown will be making his NFL debut Sunday, marking the fifth different kicker than the team has utilized already in 2020. Having previously served as a kickoff specialist with Cincinnati, Brown has not attempted an in-game field goal during the regular season, thereby making him the riskiest of options from a fantasy perspective. Sundays game against Detroit projects to be of a high-scoring nature, but there are numerous other options on the table ahead of Brown. He could be an asset down the line should he go on a solid stretch, so keep tabs on his progress and whether or not the Jaguars may not need to find a sixth kicker.
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Jon Brown will be the fifth kicker used by the team this year when he attempts a field goal or extra point in Week 6 against the Lions on Sunday. The Jaguars will become the first team in NFL history to have a different player attempt a field goal or PAT in five straight games. Josh Lambo (hip) suffered a hip injury in Week 2 and has been on Injured Reserve since. Jacksonville also used Brandon Wright in Week 3, but he was also injured, prompting the team to move on to Stephen Hauschka and Aldrick Rosas. Both Hauschka and Rosas suffered injuries and were unable to kick, prompting the move to Brown. Brown is a former soccer player from Kentucky and spent time with the Bengals and 49ers after going undrafted in 2016. You shouldn't go anywhere near Brown and the Jaguars kicking situation for fantasy.
Cincinnati Bengals place kicker Jon Brown connected on a 55-yard field goal in Saturday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. Despite the fact he had that impressive kick, which would have tied a franchise record if it occurred in the regular season, head coach Marvin Lewis said that the team does not have a kicking competition. That apparently means veteran Randy Bullock will open the regular season in the Queen City, while Brown is collecting tape for other organizations to mull over. Brown has a super strong leg, as is evidenced from his big kick. Bullock is overwhelmingly ranked in the bottom third of the league among fantasy options, so do your last-round drafting for a kicker on someone else.
