Matt Ammendola

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 Arizona Cardinals activated wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the 53-man active roster on Monday and released kicker Matt Ammendola in a corresponding move. Hopkins finished serving his six-game suspension and will make his season debut in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night, where he should be quarterback Kyler Murray's top receiving target now that Marquise Brown (foot) is out for around six weeks.

Ammendola has converted four of his six field goal attempts, however, his longest make is only 31 yards.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Matt Ammendola will kick once again this week with Harrison Butker (ankle) sidelined. Last week in his Chiefs debut, Ammendola was 2-for-2 on field goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra points, though his longest field goal attempt was just 31 yards. Ammendola should have plenty of kicking chances because of this high-powered Chiefs offense, so fantasy managers who are streaming kickers could find some value here. [Read More]

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said it will be a wait-and-see approach with kicker Harrison Butker's (ankle) status for Week 3 against the Indianapolis Colts. Butker continues to improve, but the Chiefs are non-committal on whether he'll play this week after he was inactive in last Thursday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Matt Ammendola filled in for Butker against the Bolts and made both of his field goals and all three of his extra-point tries in the victory. If Butker is ... [Read More]
