New York Giants kicker Mason Crosby has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Giants are having some serious problems at kicker with Graham Gano (knee) and Randy Bullock (hamstring) on the injured reserve and Cade York (quad) on the practice squad injured list. That being said, Crosby is likely to remain the team's kicker through the final two games of the regular season. He made his lone field goal attempt and both extra point chances during last week's game. He won't be a great streaming option given the offensive struggles of the Giants.
Mason Crosby Takes Over Kicking Duties For Giants, Not On Fantasy Radars
Veteran kicker Mason Crosby, formerly of the Green Bay Packers, will kick his first field goals for a different team in Week 16. The Giants signed him as a free agent following injuries to Randy Bullock (hamstring) and Cade York (quad). Bullock was already filling in for regular starter Graham Gano (knee). Despite what has been an excellent career for the Super Bowl champion, Crosby shouldn't be considered a legitimate kicker option for fantasy football in Week 16. While the Philadelphia defense allows a lot of points, the Giants themselves only average 13.5 per game, the second-fewest in the league. There likely won't be enough opportunities for Crosby to produce.
The New York Giants have signed kicker Mason Crosby to their practice squad on Friday. The team will elevate him and he will serve as their kicker for the Week 16 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Cade York (leg) is done for the season and has been placed on the injured reserve. Crosby spent time with the Los Angeles Rams organization this season, but hasn't kicked yet. His first attempt of the season will be with the Giants on Monday night. The veteran kicker isn't a great streaming given the Giants lackluster offense.
The Los Angeles Rams released kicker Mason Crosby from their practice squad on Tuesday. The veteran Crosby signed with the Rams last week and was brought up to the active roster for the Week 14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but he was ultimately inactive and the Rams went with Lucas Havrisik as the starting kicker on Sunday. Now the 39-year-old Crosby is back on the street. Havrisik made all three of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's overtime loss and both of his extra-point tries, so the Rams are apparently comfortable rolling with him for another game in Week 15 against the Washington Commanders. If Crosby doesn't latch on with another team for the rest of the 2023 season, he could hang up his cleats this offseason after 16 seasons with the Green Bay Packers.
Los Angeles Rams kicker Mason Crosby is a healthy scratch for Week 14 versus the Baltimore Ravens. He was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday as the team explores its kicking options amidst Lucas Havrisik's struggles. In the end, though, Havrisik will retain his job for at least one more week. The 24-year-old is 7-for-10 on field goals and 10-for-11 on extra points.
The Los Angeles Rams activated veteran kicker Mason Crosby from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Saturday in advance of the Week 14 game on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. The Rams signed the 39-year-old kicker earlier this week as competition for Lucas Havrisik, who has missed three of his 10 field-goal attempts for LA since replacing Brett Maher. It's unclear at this point who will actually kick for the Rams this weekend, but fantasy managers should be looking elsewhere. Crosby hasn't kicked at all in 2023 but spent 16 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, making 81.4% of his 485 field-goal attempts and going 733-for-753 on his extra points in 258 career regular-season games. The Rams are looking for some stability at the position for once this year.
Veteran free-agent kicker Mason Crosby is signing to the Los Angeles Rams practice squad. The Rams intend to elevate him to the active roster in the near future. Los Angeles has struggled with field goal kicking this year. Brett Maher made 17 of his 23 attempts, and Lucas Havrisik has made five of his seven attempts since taking over the job. Crosby is a 16-year NFL veteran and has connected on 395 of his 485 field goal attempts and 733 of his 753 extra point tries. He is the Green Bay Packers' all-time leading scorer by a wide margin.
Veteran free agent kicker Mason Crosby is among the kickers working out for the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday. The organization released Brett Maher after six missed field goals this season, including two in the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7. Crosby spent 16 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, making 395 of his 485 field goal attempts and 733 of his 753 extra point tries. The 39-year-old connected on 86.2% of his field goal tries last season. The Rams have attempted a league-leading 23 field goals this season, so whoever their new kicker is will be on the fantasy radar.
Mason Crosby Converts 3-of-4 Field Goals In Week 18
Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby converted 3-of-4 field goals and nailed his lone extra point attempt during the team's 20-16 loss to the Detroit Lions. The veteran kicker ended the season strong, converting 9-of-10 field goals and eight extra points over the final three games. He missed four field goals in 2022, a massive improvement after a rough 2021 season where he missed a total of nine. However, for fantasy purposes, Crosby has been nothing more than a boom-or-bust streamer for the past four years. With star quarterback Aaron Rodgers potentially out of Green Bay in 2023, it is tough to be excited about potentially drafting a kicker heading into his age-39 season. There is always the possibility the 38-year-old retires in the offseason, but if he returns, he will be can safely be left off of draft boards come August in favor of more exciting options.
Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby will face the division-rival Detroit Lions Sunday night. The veteran kicker has been on a tear lately, nailing seven field goals and 10 extra points over the past three weeks. Green Bay has had little trouble getting into scoring range against the defenses of struggling teams like the Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, and Minnesota Vikings, and it has led to a successful run for the 38-year-old kicker. He will remain a low-end top-12 fantasy option this week against Detroit in a must-win game for both squads. Crosby has a low-scoring fantasy floor this season, but due to the recent success the Packers have had, he is a much safer and viable fantasy option during the final week of the regular season.
