Tennessee Titans kicker Josh Lambo failed to attempt a field goal and missed one of his four extra point attempts in the win over the Green Bay Packers. The Titans will likely turn back to Randy Bullock (right calf) when he is healthy, so there's no need to consider picking up Lambo any time soon, especially after his quiet Week 11 debut.
Josh Lambo To Kick For Titans, Randy Bullock Ruled Out
Tennessee Titans kicker Josh Lambo will make his season debut as Randy Bullock (right calf) has been ruled out for the Thursday Night Football contest with the Green Bay Packers in Week 11. Lambo is far from the fantasy radar since he hasn't kicked since September of 2021, and this game figures to be a low-scoring contest with a projected point total of just over 40 points. There's no need to play Lambo on Thursday with plenty of kicker streamers available on the Sunday slate of games.
The Indianapolis Colts tried out long-time Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo on Tuesday, according to a source. Current kicker Rodrigo Blankenship is already on shaky ground after missing one of his three field-goal attempts in the Week 1 tie with the Houston Texans. He also had two of his kickoffs go out of bounds for penalties that set the Texans up with great field position to start their drives. Blankenship missed most of last season due to a hip injury, so perhaps he's still dealing with that. Regardless, fantasy managers may need to look in another direction for Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars if Indy brings in another kicker.
Free-agent kicker Josh Lambo filed a lawsuit against the Jacksonville Jaguars, seeking his $3.5 million salary for last season, plus damages for emotional distress. Lambo is claiming that his performance suffered as a result of being kicked and verbally abused by former head coach Urban Meyer. The 31-year-old is saying that the Jaguars created a hostile work environment in 2021. The fourth-most accurate kicker in NFL history was released last October. Meyer denies that the incident happened in the way Lambo described, but Lambo also said that the former head coach threatened to cut him just days after the kicking incident. It remains to be seen if Lambo has a real case here, but Meyer only made it 13 games in his Jaguars tenure before being fired.
Steelers Sign Josh Lambo With Chris Boswell Injured
The Pittsburgh Steelers have found their contingency plan at kicker should Chris Boswell (concussion) ultimately not be cleared in time for Monday's contest against Chicago: Josh Lambo. Lambo began the season as the primary kicker for Jacksonville, but was released after going 0-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 5-for-7 on extra points through the first three weeks. As recently as 2019, Lambo was the most accurate kicker in the league, going 33-for-34 on field goals. Boswell is currently in the league's concussion protocol, and while the Steelers are optimistic that it won't be a long-term absence, it stands to reason that he could be out Monday. Fantasy managers holding Boswell can wait, so long as they are comfortable pivoting to Lambo at the eleventh hour.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have released kicker Josh Lambo on Tuesday. He was a healthy inactive for the second straight week, and the Jaguars ultimately decided to move on from his on Tuesday. The 30-year-old went 0-for-3 in field goal attempts, and 5-for-7 in extra-point tries over three games in 2021. Lambo will look to latch onto another team in need of a kicker. Matthew Wright will be the Jaguars' primary kicker from now on after drilling all three field-goal attempts and both PATs during last Sunday's 23-20 win over the Dolphins, including the game-winning field goal from 53-yards out. Despite the Week 6 heroics, the Jaguars kicker can be avoided in fantasy.
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Titans, with practice squad kicker Matthew Wright taking over kicking duties. Lambo was a disaster through the first three games, going 0-for-3 on field goals and 5-for-7 on extra points before Wright took over last week, knocking in all three extra points but not attempting a field goal. It looks like this is Wright's job now, but he's still off of the fantasy radar this week and going forward in an offense that has struggled to get into field goal range.
Matthew Wright Added To Roster, Josh Lambo Likely Inactive Sunday
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Matthew Wright was elevated from the practice squad for the second consecutive week. The 25-year-old handled kicking duties last Sunday, forcing Josh Lambo to be inactive. A similar pattern could very likely be followed against the Titans this week. Wright and Lambo were reportedly in competition throughout recent practices and head coach Urban Meyer was expected to decide who won the job on Saturday. While Meyer never made an official announcement, Wright's elevation suggests that he'll get the nod for the second week in a row. Last Sunday, he made all three extra-point attempts.
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo (personal) has been ruled out for the Thursday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals after missing practice the last two days due to personal reasons. It remains to be seen whether Logan Cooke or Matthew Wright will serve as the team's kicker in Week 4, but fantasy managers should be avoiding this kicking situation to begin with. Depending on how things go on Thursday night, Lambo may not have a job to return to after missing all three of his field goals and two of his seven extra-point attempts through the first three games of the 2021 season. The Jags offense could have a little more success against the Bengals, but you need to avoid Jacksonville's kickers altogether for now.
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo missed his only two field-goal attempts in the team's Week 2 loss to the Broncos while converting his only extra-point opportunity. Lambo also missed his only field goal attempt in Week 1, but for whatever reason, head coach Urban Meyer isn't ready to move on. Meyer said that he's "concerned," but "not giving up on Josh Lambo" in a post-game interview. Lambo should be avoided entirely in all fantasy formats.
