Matt Ammendola News
The Houston Texans will elevate kicker Matt Ammendola from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Saturday before their Week 13 contest against the Denver Broncos. The Texans waived Ammendola earlier this week before re-signing him. This will be the 26-year-old's final game as the starter for Houston, as Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) will return from Injured Reserve to resume his role as the starting kicker in Week 14 against the Jets. Ammendola has made just three of his six field-goal tries in the three games filling in for the injured Fairbairn. The good news is he's made all nine of his extra-point opportunities. Fantasy managers should once again be ignoring Ammendola as a streamer this weekend.
The Houston Texans re-signed kicker Matt Ammendola to their practice squad on Wednesday after the team waived him on Monday. Houston won't get Ka'imi Fairbairn back until at least Week 14, as he's on Injured Reserve and is required to miss one more game. Ammendola has kicked for Houston in all three games with Fairbairn out, but he missed both of his field-goal attempts in the three-point loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week and also missed his lone field-goal try in Week 11. The 26-year-old will likely kick for the Texans again this Sunday against the Denver Broncos, but once Fairbairn is back healthy, the Texans will most likely move on from Ammendola. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere at the position in Week 13.
The Houston Texans waived kicker Matt Ammendola on Monday and claimed defensive end Derek Barnett off waivers from the Philadelphia Eagles in a corresponding move. Fairbairn has missed the last three games after being placed on Injured Reserve due to a strained right quadriceps he suffered in Week 9. Ammendola has kicked in his stead the last three games and went 3-for-6 on field-goal attempts while making all nine of his extra points. The 26-year-old missed both of his field goals in the three-point Week 12 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. If he clears waivers, he's likely to be returned to Houston's practice squad. Fairbairn must miss at least one more game before he's eligible to be activated from IR.
