Folk was on an offense that was up-and-down with the Jets and struggled to score last season. Folk wouldn't be a kicker to target in re-draft leagues even if he won the job in Tampa Bay.

The New York Jets released kicker Nick Folk on Thursday.

After playing for the team since 2010, Folk was cut by the Jets on Thursday. The 10-year veteran was successful on 27-of-31 field goal attempts and 24-of-26 extra point attempts in 2016. He'll likely sign with another team and compete for a job at some point this offseason. However, he may have to wait until training camp to find another suitor. In the wake of Folk's release, the Jets saved $3 million in salary cap space.

Nick Folk connected on all six of his kicks on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, making three field goals and three extra points.

Nick Folk quietly had a solid season for the Jets, making 27 of his 31 field goal attempts on the year (87.1%). Unfortunately, it was hard to rely on Folk in fantasy because you never knew what you were going to get from the New York offense.

Nick Folk made all three of his field goal attempts on Sunday, including a 50-yarder to tie the game in the fourth quarter.

Nick Folk had a solid day, but it is hard to rely on anyone on the Jets to produce right now, especially in the fantasy playoffs. The Jets looked like they had given up early in the game, but they did show some life in the second half and rebounded nicely to win the game in overtime. Still, there are more reliable kickers than Folk out there for fantasy.

Nick Folk made his only field goal attempt on the night (a 39-yarder) and added an extra point, as New York's offense struggled to get anything going on Monday Night.

Fantasy Impact

As has been the story most of the year, a bad New York Jets offense limited Folk's effectiveness. With Bryce Petty likely taking over at quarterback to finish out the season, New York's offense is even more unpredictable, making Folk a kicker you should stay away from.
