Matt Ammendola

The Texans have released Matt Ammendola from their practice squad.

Fantasy Impact

This move comes following the report that Ka'imi Fairbairn is expected to return this week.

Matt Ammendola missed his lone extra point attempt during the Texans' 30-6 loss to the Jets in Week 14.

Fantasy Impact

Ammendola held onto his job this week despite going just 6-for-9 on field goals over his four games with Houston. However, Sunday's missed extra point could end his stint with the team, especially with Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadricep) eligible to return from IR.

Matt Ammendola will be elevated once again prior to Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact

With regular kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (quad) still on IR, Ammendola will do the kicking for the Texans again in Week 13. Over the last three games, Ammendola has made 3 of 6 field-goal attempts and all nine of his extra-point tries. Fairbairn is expected to return in Week 14.

The Texans have waived kicker Matt Ammendola.

Fantasy Impact

Ammendola is expected to join the team’s practice squad if he claims waivers. Ammendola will remain the Texans’ kicker in Week 13 if he goes unclaimed and will likely remain the kicker until Ka’imi Fairbairn returns.

Matt Ammendola missed both of his field-goal attempts but hit 3 of 3 extra points in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact

Ammendola filled in for Ka'imi Fairbairn (leg) for the third straight week, missing a pair of field-goal attempts from beyond 50 yards. The third-year pro remained perfect on extra points this year, as he has now hit all nine of his tries. Ammendola is 3 of 6 on field goals with a long of 45 yards.
