2025 Fantasy Outlook
Seibert has kicked for five times since entering the NFL in 2019, only once playing double-digit games in a single season, but he made a strong impression in 2024 with the Commanders until a hip/groin injury derailed his season. Seibert attempted a league-high 27 field goals through Week 9, making 25 in eight games, while also converting all 22 PATs for the upstart Commanders. He played just one game from Week 10 on, and missed three kicks in that game, while Zane Gonzalez proved himself an effective replacement (and then re-signed with Washington this offseason). Seibert seemingly was good enough pre-injury to get another shot at a starting job, be it in Washington or elsewhere, but the type of volume he saw during the first half of last season was a once-in-a-career occurrence for an otherwise mediocre kicker.

IR placement due to groin injury
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Seibert was placed on injured reserve Tuesday due to a groin injury, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Seibert had missed two straight games with a right hip injury before he returned to action for this past Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Cowboys. After missing three of his five kicks (two extra-point tries, one field goal) on the day, Seibert's placement on IR two days later was believed to be the result of an aggravation of the hip injury, but Quinn clarified that the kicker informed the team Monday he was bothered by a groin issue. Seibert will miss at least four games after being placed on IR, and the Commanders are likely to elevate Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad to handle kicking duties beginning with Sunday's matchup with the Titans.

2019
Seibert only played in six games with the Lions last season as the third-year pro dealt with a variety of issues including a season-ending hip injury. While Seibert has the draft pedigree (fifth-round pick by the Browns back in 2019) to retain his starting role, the Lions put him in a kicker competition with Riley Patterson this summer. Seibert won, but he'll be on thin ice if he struggles early in the year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could kick again Week 3
Seibert could be in line to kick for the Jets again Week 3 against the Patriots, as Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports that Greg Zuerlein didn't practice Wednesday due to the groin injury that sidelined him in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Seibert was elevated from the practice squad and handled the kicking duties in Zuerlein's stead Week 2. Unless Zuerlein makes a swift recovery over the next few days, Seibert could get another chance to kick in what's expected to be a low-scoring home game against New England on Sunday.
