Kaare Vedvik Fantasy Stats

The New York Jets are cutting kicker Kaare Vedvik and are expected to sign free-agent kicker Sam Ficken, according to a source. Vedvik failed in his audition in Week 1 against the Bills, missing his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try in the one-point loss to Buffalo. In just four games the last two seasons with the Rams, Ficken made just half of his six field-goal attempts and 14 of his 15 extra points. Fantasy owners need not pay attention to the Jets kicking situation early in the season.

New York Jets kicker Kaare Vedvik missed an extra point and a 45-yard field goal in his first game with the Jets after being signed last week. Vedvik was picked up by the Jets after being cut by Minnesota in the preseason and appears to be on the verge of getting cut again after leaving four points on the board in a 1 point Jets loss. In fairness to Vedvik, the hold was mishandled on the field goal miss but the Jets clearly have no confidence in their kicking game as they went for two after their second touchdown. The Jets kicking situation, whether Vedvik or someone else, can safely be ignored in fantasy.

New York Jets kicker Kaare Vedvik is confident heading into a Week 1 matchup with the Bills despite getting cut by Minnesota after the preseason. Vedvik was competing for the kicker job with the Vikings but was cut after going 1-for-4 in the team's final preseason game. Despite getting cut, Vedvik is confident saying that there is nothing mechanically wrong, it was just a bad day. Before being traded to the Vikings, Vedvik was 12-for-13 in the preseason kicking for the Ravens so the Jets are hoping special teams coach Brant Boyer can ger Vedvik back to that level. Fantasy owners, however, can look elsewhere when filling their kicker spot.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Kaare Vedvik nailed four field goals in Thursday night's preseason game, including a 55-yarder. Kicker Justin Tucker is indisputably locked into his starting position as the most accurate kicker of all-time, so Vedvik is auditioning to fill a roster spot elsewhere. "I fully expect that he'll kick well enough for us to trade him," said head coach John Harbaugh at an NFL owner's meeting. If or when Vedvik gets traded, he could be a useful bye-week replacement fantasy kicker. Granted, if the Norwegian continues kicking like he did last night, he could fill your starting spot.
