The Dallas Cowboys have decided to release kicker Tristan Vizcaino, meaning Brandon Aubrey is the lone kicker on the roster at camp. Vizcaino made 22 of his 35 field-goal attempts in the first eight padded practices of training camp, while Aubrey has gone 26 of 35. Dallas could bring in another kicker to compete for the starting job, but if Aubrey is named the regular season starter, he could have plenty of fantasy value since the Cowboys offense has no shortage of red-zone trips.
Cowboys Looking To Create Competition For Tristan Vizcaino
The Dallas Cowboys are making it clear they are looking for a veteran kicker to create training-camp competition with Tristan Vizcaino this summer, on the heels of saying goodbye to Brett Maher one year after what became a three-man competition at the position last year. Vizcaino is off to a solid start at organized team activities, nailing eight of his attempts to close out OTAs. His only misses came from 44 and 55 yards out. The 26-year-old was signed to the team's practice squad in mid-January after Maher famously missed four extra-point attempts in the playoff win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Vizcaino will have to prove he's the guy this summer, but if he wins the job, he could be a kicking streamer in 2023 in fantasy.
The Dallas Cowboys signed kicker Tristan Vizcaino to their practice squad earlier this week but ultimately did not elevate him for their Divisional Round matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The team has reiterated its belief in Brett Maher, who missed four extra-point attempts in a Wild-Card win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. Maher will be the only kicker available for Dallas during Sunday's contest and will hope to rebound to the dependability he displayed throughout the regular season.
The Dallas Cowboys have signed kicker Tristan Vizcaino to their practice squad ahead of a Divisional Round playoff matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. The team is expected to continue starting Brett Maher, who missed four extra points on Monday night, but Dallas will now have the 26-year-old Vizcaino as insurance if Maher struggles in practice later in the week. Vizcaino most recently kicked for the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10 and successfully converted on two field goals and three extra-point attempts in a win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Arizona Cardinals kicker Tristan Vizcaino made both field goal attempts and all three extra-point attempts as he filled in for Matt Prater (hip/illness). His longest make was from 46 yards, as the Washington collegiate product was impressive in his 2022 debut. It is unknown if Prater will be held out for an extended period of time, but Vizcaino will be nothing but a streaming option if he continues to start for the Cardinals.
Tristan Vizcaino Signs With Cardinals Amidst Matt Prater's Injury
Free agent kicker Tristan Vizcaino has signed with the Arizona Cardinals. He will handle kicking duties on Week 10 with Matt Prater (hip, illness) not expected to play. Vizcaino, 26, hasn't suited up for an NFL team since Week 6 last season. Through six contests in 2021, he went 6-for-7 on field goals but just 10-for-15 on extra points. He should be left on fantasy waivers in most leagues.
The New England Patriots signed free-agent kicker Tristan Vizcaino to an undisclosed deal on Friday and released kicker Quinn Nordin in a corresponding move. Vizcaino will join the team after working out with the Patriots during minicamp practices this week. He'll replace Nordin as the backup to veteran Nick Folk, who was one of the best and most consistent fantasy kickers in 2021. Vizcaino, 25, played in six games with the Los Angeles Chargers last year and went 6-for-7 on his field-goal attempts and 10-for-15 on extra points. In his two NFL seasons, he's made 90% of his 10 field-goal tries and 12 of his 17 extra-point attempts in seven games.
The New England Patriots are working out free-agent kicker Tristan Vizcaino on Monday, according to a source. Vizcaino most recently kicked for the Los Angeles Chargers, and he's also scheduled for a second workout on Wednesday with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Patriots still have veteran Nick Folk, who was one of the best overall kickers in fantasy last year, so Vizcaino would merely represent some kicking depth if they were to sign him. The 25-year-old played in six games with the Bolts last year and went 6-for-7 on his field-goal attempts and 10-for-15 on extra points. He's made 90% of his 10 field-goal attempts for the Chargers and San Francisco 49ers in his two NFL seasons.
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Tristan Vizcaino (illness) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice with an illness. This is a late addition to the injury report for Vizcaino and more should provided about his status as the week goes on. Vizcaino made both of his extra points and both of his field goals with a long of 33 yards in Week 1. In what should be a high-scoring affair in Week 2 versus the Dallas Cowboys, if healthy, Vizcaino presents a strong option in all formats.
Michael Badgley, Tristan Vizcaino Competing For Kicking Job
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley has been competing with Tristan Vizcaino to see who will get the starting job. Badgley took advantage of the opportunity against the 49ers. He had two first-half opportunities. Badgley made an extra-point attempt in the first quarter. The biggest concern for the Chargers has been Badgley's ability to nail kicks from 45 yards and beyond. Badgley hit a 50-yard field goal that gave the Chargers a 10-2 lead before halftime. Vizcaino did not have any attempts against the 49ers. However, he was able to hit field goals from 21 and 38 yards out against the Rams. The competition is close heading into the third and final preseason game on Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks. Whoever wins the job could have some streaming appeal in deeper leagues in an offense that could be quite explosive on a weekly basis with quarterback Justin Herbert, the 2020 Offensive Rookie of the Year, running the show.
