2023 Fantasy Outlook
After splitting 2021 between three teams, Slye was Washington's kicker for all 17 games last season and converted 83.3 percent of FGAs and 85.7 percent of PATs. It was a decent showing overall, including 4-for-6 from 50-plus yards, but he missed three kicks in the season finale and finished with the third fewest points per game among placekickers with more than four appearances. Slye has a strong leg, so he can at least emerge as a streaming option if second-year QB Sam Howell elevates the Washington offense to respectability. Read Past Outlooks

Signing with Jacksonville
KJacksonville Jaguars
March 18, 2024
Slye is signing a one-year contract with the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jags and Commanders now have swapped kickers, after Brandon McManus signed with Washington last week. The difference is that McManus figures to essentially be handed a starting job, whereas Slye is less proven and may have to compete with reserve/future signee Riley Patterson. Slye's career field-goal percentage (82.3) and PAT percentage (88.5) both are subpar by modern standards, though he does have a strong leg and has made 20 of 32 tries from 50-plus yards in his career.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely starter for Commanders
KWashington Commanders
August 20, 2023
Slye appears to have won the kicking job in Washington after Michael Badgley was released Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Slye has been the kicker in Washington to close each of the last two seasons, though he was inconsistent in 2022. He particularly struggled from more than 40 yards away, converting only 12 of his 16 attempts in that range. As a result, the team brought in Badgley as competition, though Slye appears to have retained his roster spot for now.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
The Commanders re-signed Slye to a two-year deal this offseason, after he joined the team midseason and connected on all 12 of his field-goal attempts. The former Panther has one of the NFL's strongest legs, but he went just 9 of 17 from 50-plus yards in his two years with Carolina before being released last summer. Slye may face competition for his job this preseason, and he’s attached to a subpar offense either way.
Slye has the strongest biceps of any NFL kicker, and he might just have the strongest leg as well. However, he made just one of six tries from 50-plus last year, after going 8-of-11 from the same range as a rookie in 2019. He'll now face some competition from Matt Ammendola, who converted 76.9 percent of FGs and 97.8 percent of PATs in four seasons at Oklahoma State. Slye is the favorite, but it's no sure thing.
Slye became known as the "swole" kicker when he replaced an injured Graham Gano last year. He backed it up with strong results in September, and eventually finished the season strong, but in between he missed six field goals and four PATs in a seven-game stretch. Granted, he led the league with 11 attempts and eight makes from 50-plus yards, so Slye should have the edge if there's a preseason battle.
