Stephen Gostkowski Fantasy Stats

Tennessee Titans kicker Stephen Gostkowski was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Gostkowski missed the Week 17 win over the Texans but is now on track to play against the Ravens in the wild-card playoff game on Sunday. The three-time Super Bowl winner missed seven of his first 17 field-goal tries for Tennessee this year, but he has rebounded to connect on eight of his last nine field goals. Offensive lineman Aaron Brewer was placed on the COVID-19 list in a corresponding move. While Gostkowski has righted the ship late in the season, he's still not a recommended fantasy option for the postseason, especially since the Ravens Defense has allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing kickers this season.

The Tennessee Titans placed kicker Stephen Gostkowski on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. It's unclear if he tested positive for the virus or if he was just deemed a high-risk close contact of someone else who tested positive. If Gostkowski is a close contact, he will have a shot at playing in Week 17 against the Texans if he continues to test negative this week. The former Patriot has made 18 of his 26 field-goal tries this year and has made 46 of his 48 extra points in 15 games in his first season with the Titans. He didn't see much action in the 40-14 blowout loss to the Packers on Sunday night in Week 16, though, making just two extra points without a field-goal attempt. With his status uncertain for the regular season finale, fantasy managers should be looking for other kicking options.

Tennessee Titans kicker Stephen Gostkowski kicked six field goals in week three, from 30, 31, 39, 51, 54 and 55 yards out. His final kick of the day, from 55 yards, proved to be the game-winner with 1:44 left. Gostkowski has now knocked in game-winners three weeks in a row. After a rough start Gostkowski looks to have found his footing. He's a solid option moving forward if you're in need of a kicker.

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said on Tuesday that he expects kicker Stephen Gostkowski to be better than he was in the 16-14 Monday night win over the Broncos, and the team still believes in him after he missed three field goals and an extra point in Week 1. Gostkowski's reputation as one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history (86.8 percent success rate even after Monday's debacle) has bought him a longer leash. It helps that he made his fourth field-goal attempt -- the game-winner -- to seal the game in the fourth quarter. Even in a good matchup against Jacksonville in Week 2, fantasy owners shouldn't have as much faith in Gostkowski as Vrabel does. Look elsewhere.

The Tennessee Titans reached an agreement with former Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski on Thursday. Gostkowski is staying in his hometown after spending the first 14 years of his career in New England. The Titans released Greg Joseph in a corresponding move,and rookie Tucker McCann is the only other body at the position. If healthy, the 36-year-old Gostkowski should have a leg up on the competition in his new home. He'll need to prove he's healthy after kicking in just four games in his final season with the Patriots, so you can probably leave Gostkowski to the waiver wire to begin the 2020 season.

Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson said the team will consider free-agent kicker Stephen Gostkowski. A left hip injury cost Gostkowski most of his final season with the Patriots, but his .874 field-goal percentage is the fifth-best all time. "We certainly have confidence in Greg Joseph, I thought Greg did a great job for us, came in there at the end of last year and did a great job for us and helped us," Robinson said. "Itd be his job to lose but we want as competitive a position there as possible." Joseph has only attempted four field goals in the NFL, and they all came in 2018 with the Browns. He did make all nine of his extra points in two games with Tennessee last year, but if the Titans signed Gostkowski and he proves to be fully healthy, the veteran could easily take over and become fantasy relevant once again.

The New England Patriots released kicker Stephen Gostkowski last month after four Pro Bowl selections and two first-team All-Pro selections. Gostkowski missed most of last season, however, with a hip injury and was put on Injured Reserve. "I'm not ready to just hang it up. I'm gonna try to play. It's going to be tough to show teams what I can do right now or work out or do a physical, but I'm not too worried about it. I'm not concerned. I kind of take things day by day," Gostkowski said. The 36-year-old played in just four games last year but has made 87.4 percent of his field goal tries in his 14-year career and could become fantasy relevant again in the right situation in 2020 if he's fully healthy.

The New England Patriots are releasing kicker Stephen Gostkowski on Monday, according to a league source. Gostkowski, a three-time Super Bowl winner, is the franchise's all-time leading scorer since he was a fourth-round selection by the Patriots in the 2006 draft. The 36-year-old booter played in just four games for New England last year due to injury and made seven of his eight field-goal attempts and 11 of his 15 extra points. Gostkowski is a career 87.4 percent field-goal kicker on 428 career regular season attempts, including going 25-for-35 on 50-plus yard tries. Despite his age, he could latch on with another team and be successful as long as he's healthy. Quarterback won't be the only position in Boston where the Pats will be looking to replace a franchise icon this offseason.

The Patriots have signed free-agent kicker Mike Nugent to replace Stephen Gostkowski, who was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Gostkowski is a candidate to return later this year, but Nugent will handle the kicking duties for New England in the meantime. The second-round pick back in 2005 played in three games for the Raiders last year and went 6-for-6 on field goals and 4-for-5 on extra points. He has a career 81.4 percent field-goal percentage, although he's 13-for-30 on attempts of 50-plus yards. Nugent should get his chances in the Patriots offense, but he's not a viable streamer for now.

The New England Patriots are placing kicker Stephen Gostkowski (undisclosed) on the Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to a league source. The 35-year-old booter has been a staple for the team's kicking game for nearly a decade, so this is a big blow to New England's special teams moving forward. Gostkowski made seven of his eight field-goal attempts but was just 11-for-15 on extra points through four weeks. The Patriots will likely sign a replacement as early as Wednesday, but it's unlikely the new kicker will become immediately fantasy relevant, if at all.
