Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that kicker Nick Folk (abdomen) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest versus the division-rival Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. For insurance in case he can't go, the team plans to bring up Brayden Narveson from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster for the weekend. The 40-year-old veteran has been basically automatic this year for a lackluster Titans offense, but he apparently came out of the Week 15 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals with an injury and may not be able to kick in Week 16. Folk has made 21 of his 22 field-goal tries in 2024 and has been successful on all 25 of his extra-point tries as well. However, because of his injury and in an offense that will start Mason Rudolph at quarterback this weekend, fantasy managers will want to avoid Folk. UPDATE: Folk is officially questionable for Week 16.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk (groin) was a full-go in the team's practice on Thursday, one day after he was listed as a non-participant due to a groin injury. The Titans signed kicker Brayden Narveson to their practice squad on Wednesday, signaling that there was uncertainty as to whether Folk would be able to kick in Week 15 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 40-year-old veteran still isn't guaranteed to play this weekend, but a return to a full practice after a DNP on Wednesday is definitely a good sign. Folk was Tennessee's entire offense in last Sunday's 10-6 loss to the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars, making his only two field-goal attempts. Folk enters Week 15 action as the No. 18 fantasy kicker in terms of overall points and should be avoided in most leagues, even though the matchup against Cincy is a nice one. His 22 FG attempts on the year have him tied for 22nd among all kickers in 2024.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk (groin) was listed as a non-participant for his team's first practice of the week. The 40-year-old has been near-automatic this season for Tennessee, knocking through every kick but one -- a field goal attempt -- through 13 games. Folk made both of his kicks in Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars but apparently picked up a groin injury during the contest. While the severity of the ailment is unknown, the Titans did sign kicker Brayden Narveson to their practice squad. Folk will have a few more opportunities to prove his health before Tennessee's meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. Still, they are hedging their bets, which means the journeyman kicker could be on the wrong side of his current designation. If he can't play, Narveson would assuredly be called upon in his stead.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk (undisclosed) could be in danger of missing the Week 15 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran kicker is currently dealing with an injury, according to Mike Garafolo. That being said, the Titans have signed Brayden Narveson to their practice squad as insurance in case Folk is unable to go this weekend. Folk has been extremely reliable as a kicker this season with only one missed field goal heading into Week 15. His absence would certainly be frustrating especially given the fact that many leagues are beginning the playoffs this week. However, fantasy managers will have to wait until later in the week for more news on Folk.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk has seen his workload increase over the last few weeks. In fact, Folk has made all seven of his field goal attempts over the last three games. The veteran kicker has been solid as he has missed only one kick all season long. The assumption is that Folk should continue having decent streaming appeal against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14. The Titans offense should be able to have success moving the ball which should put Folk in a position to succeed this weekend.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk is worth considering as a low-end fantasy streamer in Week 12 against the Houston Texans. Although the Titans haven't given Folk a whole lot of scoring opportunities this year, he has made the most of his chances, going 14-for-15 on field goals and 18-for-18 on extra points. Despite his accuracy, he ranks 23rd among kickers in fantasy points, largely due to the Titans' aforementioned struggles on offense this season. To further complicate matters, the Texans have been somewhat stingy on special teams, holding opposing kickers to the 14th-fewest fantasy points. With that said, Houston has surrendered 0.6 field goals of at least 50 yards per game, which is the fourth-most in the NFL. Therefore, despite his tougher matchup, Folk could put himself on the fantasy radar with his accuracy and powerful leg. He's a fringe top-12 option heading into Sunday's divisional battle.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk faces the New York Jets in a Week 2 matchup this Sunday. The veteran nailed his only field goal attempt against Chicago last week, booting in a 40-yarder early in the second quarter. Unfortunately the Titans offense could not move the ball for the entirety of the second half which didn't lead to many opportunities for Folk to put points on the board. The story may be the same this coming week with the Jets and their stout defensive unit coming to town. There are likely better kicking options currently on waivers for this week.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk will start the season in Chicago taking on the Bears in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season. Folk was the #19 kicker last year but the ranking wasn't emblematic of his effectiveness. It was a career-year for the 39-year old veteran, who finished first in the NFL with a 96.7% conversion rate. The Titans have a completely revamped offense which should score more than 17.9 points per game (26th overall), meaning Folk will have many more opportunities to score fantasy points. However, Chicago has one of the best defenses in the league and is playing on their home turf in Week 1. With the Titans offense still unproven, Folk is probably better left on waivers for opening weekend.
The Tennessee Titans re-signed veteran kicker Nick Folk to a one-year, $3.755 million deal on Wednesday, according to a source. The deal can be worth a maximum of $4.13 million through incentives. Although Folk wasn't as productive in fantasy -- he finished as the No. 21 kicker in overall fantasy points -- as he was in 2022 with the New England Patriots, he's been one of the most accurate kickers in the league in recent seasons. The 39-year-old missed just one of his 30 field-goal attempts for a league-best 96.7 percent conversion rate. Folk also missed just two of his 30 extra-point tries in his first year in Tennessee in 2023. The Titans lost All-Pro running back Derrick Henry in free agency, but they added Tony Pollard and receiver Calvin Ridley, so there's certainly potential for Folk to get more chances for field goals and extra points in 2024.
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk missed his first kick of the season last week, but the 39-year-old is still 21-for-22 on field goals and 13-for-13 on extra points this year. Although Tennessee's offense has been putrid in recent weeks, that can sometimes work in the favor of fantasy kickers. If rookie quarterback Will Levis can at least bounce back and move the ball a little better on Sunday against the Jaguars, Folk should be in for more field-goal and extra-point attempts. In 14-plus-team leagues, he's worth consideration.
