Nick

Folk

Entering his age-41 season, Folk looks to have found a comfy starting gig in New York. UDFA Harrison Mevis is his competition for the job. Folk missed just one kick last year for the Titans in 47 tries between field goals and extra-point attempts. We’d consider him the favorite to win the job.

Folk kicked for the Jets from 2010 to 2016 and could find his way back to the Meadowlands. The 40-year-old vet played for the Titans last season, converting on 21-of-22 field goal attempts while also going 25-for-25 on his PATs. Folk has led all kickers in field goal percentage in each of the last two seasons and has made 11-of-12 attempts from 50-plus yards over that span. Despite his age, Folk doesn’t appear to have lost a step and will likely find himself kicking somewhere in 2025, even if it’s not with the Jets.

It’s possible this spells the end for 40-year-old Nick Folk, who has spent the last two seasons with the Titans. Slye kicked last season for the Patriots, converting on 26-of-33 attempts while going 6-for-9 on distances of 50 or more yards. He hit a career-long 63-yard field goal in last season’s Week 4 game against the 49ers. Slye is a career 81.7 percent field goal kicker, and could have the inside edge to win whatever kicker competition comes his way once training camp starts up.

Matthew Wright will again kick for the Titans. Folk, now 40 years old, will be a free agent in the offseason. Coming off back-to-back seasons leading the league in field goal percentage, he will have plenty of opportunities to keep playing if he wants to.

Matthew Wright was signed to the Titans practice this week and will kick for the Titans on Sunday. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for streaming upside.

Folk entered the weekend questionable with an abdomen injury and will remain out for the team’s Week 16 game against the Colts. Kicker Brayden Narveson was signed off the practice squad to kick in Folk’s place. Linebacker Luke Gifford (concussion) is the other injury inactive for the Titans.

Head coach Brian Callahan called Folk a game-time call. The veteran kicker has had a few spike weeks with the Titans but could miss Week 16 with an abdomen injury that is likely an extension of the groin issue he dealt with in previous games. The risk isn’t worth the reward for fantasy purposes. Brayden Narveson would take his place in the lineup if Folk sits.

Folk has been dealing with a groin injury this week but hasn’t missed a game due to the injury. The 40-year-old kicker has converted on 21-of-22 field goals this season while making all 22 of his extra point attempts and should be available for Week 15’s game against the Bengals.

Narveson is currently battling Nick Folk for the starting kicking job, and while Folk is considered the favorite, Narveson may have changed things a bit Saturday night. Not only did he hit the game-winner from 46 yards away, he also made one from 59 yards out on top of a chip shot from 21 yards out. Even if Narveson doesn’t win the Titans job, there’s sure to be interest in his leg if he were to hit the waiver wire.

Folks joined the Titans on a one-year deal last offseason and proceeded to put up the best numbers of his career. He led the NFL with a 96.7 percent hit rate on field goals. His only miss on 30 attempts came on a try from over 50 yards out. Folk also handled kickoff duties for Tennessee. Even at 39 years old, Folk is one of the most accurate legs in the NFL.
