Brayden Narveson Claimed By Green Bay, Greg Joseph Released

Free-agent kicker Brayden Narveson was claimed by the Green Bay Packers on Wednesday afternoon, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. In a corresponding move, the Packers released kicker Greg Joseph. Narveson was an undrafted rookie and spent the preseason playing in Tennessee and went 6-for-7 on his field-goal attempts. This was surprising, as the Packers waived Anders Carlson on Tuesday, suggesting that Joseph had won the starting job. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Narveson to now serve as the new starting kicker in Green Bay. While the NC State product may be a risky investment late in drafts, he should have ample opportunities to score fantasy points kicking in a potent offense and has flashed potential by hitting a 59-yard field goal during the preseason.
