Rest-of-Season Projections
Joins Detroit's practice squad
Ficken has landed on the Lions' practice squad.
ANALYSIS
Ficken started the season in Tennessee but subsequently landed on its injured reserve with a groin injury. Both parties eventually reached an injury settlement and he was waived from IR. He tried out with Jacksonville prior to landing in Detroit, so his groin issue is seemingly behind him. He will now look to make an impression on the practice squad while waiting for an opportunity to get called up.

The Jets actually waived Ficken after he missed two kicks (both blocked) Week 16 last season only to re-sign him a few days later. He's made only 35 of 48 field-goal attempts (72.9 percent) in a four-year career, so it won't be any big surprise if undrafted rookie Chris Naggar ends up winning the job. New Jets coach Robert Saleh said he felt good enough about Naggar to release veteran kicker Chase McLaughlin.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to take over as Jets kicker
Ficken is expected to sign with the Jets following his workout with the team Tuesday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jets auditioned five kickers Tuesday as the team elected to look in a new direction at the position following Kaare Vedvik's costly missed field-goal and extra-point attempt in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Bills. Ficken apparently stood out the most of the five competitors and will likely be officially added to the 53-man roster Wednesday. The 26-year-old, who lost out on Green Bay's kicking job to Mason Crosby in the preseason, is slated to make his Jets debut Monday night versus the Browns.
