Rest-of-Season Projections
Filling in for injured Reichard
The Vikings will sign Romo to the 53-man roster Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
A third-year pro out of Virginia Tech, Romo will get the chance to make his NFL regular-season debut beginning with this Sunday's game against the Jaguars as a replacement at kicker for Will Reichard (quadricep). Romo had previously been with the Vikings during the offseason, but he was cut in late July once Minnesota had firmly committed to Reichard as its kicker. Though he has yet to appear at the NFL level, Romo kicked professionally in the XFL for the San Antonio Brahmas back in 2023, when he converted 17 of 19 field-goal attempts, including a long of 57 yards.

Following Sean Payton's retirement, the Saints may not experience much change in philosophy, considering the offensive coordinator is a holdover and the impending returns of Michael Thomas and Jameis Winston.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Romo made 17 of 19 field-goal attempts in the XFL in 2023, earning a roster spot with the Lions heading into training camp. The team released Michael Badgley in July, leaving Romo and Riley Patterson to compete for the kicker job (with Patterson seemingly the favorite given his solid track record in the NFL).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Big leg, but lacking consistency
Romo is running behind Will Reichard in Minnesota's kicker competition, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Romo has the stronger leg of the two kickers, but he has been far less consistent in OTAs and minicamp. Reichard, whom Minnesota selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, has the upper hand heading into training camp, though Romo could still close the gap by showcasing improved accuracy in training camp and the preseason. Neither kicker has attempted a kick in an NFL game.
