  • Steady in place of Prater in 2024

    Ryland netted 28 of 32 field-goal attempts and 26 of 27 point-after tries in 13 appearances during the 2024 season.

    Analysis: Ryland lost a job battle against Joey Slye at the end of August in New England, but he was called upon by Arizona in early October to step in for the injured Matt Prater (knee) and ended up kicking for the rest of the Cardinals' campaign. His performance was a far cry from that of his rookie season with the Patriots, when he went just 16-for-25 on FGAs (along with 24-for-25 on PATs) in 17 contests. Ryland's 8.5 points per game ranked tied for sixth among kickers to play in at least nine…read more

  • Has extra-point attempt blocked

    Ryland connected on a 28-yard field-goal attempt but missed his lone extra-point try during Saturday's 13-9 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Ryland didn't have a kicking attempt until the third quarter, when the Cardinals finished a 13-play drive with a one-yard touchdown pass from Kyler Murray to Trey McBride. Unfortunately for Ryland his extra-point attempt was blocked, which kept the deficit at four points. He converted on a 28-yard chip shot early in the fourth quarter, but he didn't kick another field goal, as the Cardinals were in need of a touchdown to take the lead. It's unclear whether Ryland will serve as Arizona's kicker…read more

  • Retains kicking job for Week 17

    Ryland will remain Arizona's kicker for Saturday's game against the Rams with the Cardinals ruling Matt Prater (knee) out for the contest.

    Analysis: Prater took part in practices for the second week in a row after having his 21-day evaluation window opened Dec. 18, but since the 40-year-old has yet to upgrade to full participation, the Cardinals are opting to keep him on injured reserve for at least one more game. His continued absence sets the stage for Ryland to once again handle kicking duties for Arizona. Ryland is coming off a 12-point performance in the Week 16 loss to the Panthers that was highlighted by a game-tying 58-yard field…read more

  • Sends game into overtime

    Ryland went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point tries during the Cardinals' 36-30 overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Ryland once again served as the Cardinals' placekicker Sunday due to Matt Prater (knee) not being activated off injured reserve. Ryland's biggest kick came as time expired in the fourth quarter, when he nailed a 58-yard field-goal try to send the game into overtime and to temporarily keep Arizona's slim playoff hopes alive. In the five games since the Cardinals' Week 11 bye, Ryland has gone 14-for-17 on field-goal attempts and 8-for-8 on extra-point tries. It's unclear whether Ryland or Prater…read more

  • Perfect in win

    Ryland made all three of his field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 30-17 win versus the Patriots.

    Analysis: Ryland converted a 49-yard attempt on Arizona's first drive of Sunday's contest, and that seemed to help him find a rhythm after missing one field-goal attempt in each of his previous three games. He'll be looking to keep it going in Week 16 when the Cardinals travel to take on Carolina's porous defense.

  • Misses FG attempt in loss

    Ryland made his only point-after attempt and missed one of two field-goal tries in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Ryland was good from 28 yards out but hit the left upright on a 40-yard attempt that could have brought Arizona within six points midway through the fourth quarter. The second-year pro is now 19-for-23 on field-goal attempts this season in nine games, with all four misses coming between 40 and 49 yards. With a Matt Prater (knee) return looming, it's possible Ryland won't be the Cardinals' kicker much longer.

  • Season-high point tally Sunday

    Ryland connected on five of six field-goal attempts and his sole point-after try during Sunday's 23-22 loss at Minnesota.

    Analysis: The Cardinals offense continually stalled in the red zone, affording Ryland successful FGAs from 32, 31, 24, 40 and 23 yards. His only miss, a 45-yard attempt early in the second quarter, ultimately ended up being the difference in the one-point defeat, but Sunday's 16-point outing marked his most productive of the campaign by a large margin (his previous high in a game was 10 points back in Week 5 at San Francisco). Matt Prater, Arizona's primary kicker, hasn't made any notable progress as he…read more

  • Handles all the scoring

    Ryland made two of his three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-6 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Ryland was successful on 35 and 22-yard FGAs to account for all six points Arizona put on the board Sunday. However, the second-year pro did miss a 47-yard opportunity wide left with just seconds left in the game, which could have pulled the Cardinals within eight. With a Matt Prater (knee) return looming, it's possible this was Ryland's last week as the team's kicker.

  • Solid in runaway win

    Ryland converted his only field-goal try and made all four of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 31-6 win versus the Jets.

    Analysis: Ryland's only field goal came from just 37 yards out as time expired in the first half, so nothing especially difficult was asked of him in Week 10. With that said, he now hasn't missed a kick since Week 5 and projects as a solid fantasy option for the home stretch of the season after the Cardinals' bye in Week 11.

  • Strikes true on all five kicks

    Ryland connected on both field-goal attempts and all three point-after tries during Sunday's 29-9 victory over the Bears.

    Analysis: With his successful 55-yard field goal in the fourth quarter Sunday, Ryland now has made 50-plus yarders in back-to-back games, and he's so far missed just one kick (a 45-yard FGA that was blocked and returned for a TD in Week 5 at San Francisco) in five games subbing in for the injured Matt Prater (knee). Prater must miss at least one more contest while on injured reserve, so Ryland again is poised to handle placekicking duties for the Cardinals this coming Sunday against the Jets.

  • Nails game-winner vs. Chargers

    Ryland converted his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries during Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Ryland's lone field-goal attempt came on the Cardinals' final play of the night, a 32-yarder and his second game-winner of the regular season so far. While filling in for Matt Prater (knee) in Arizona's last three games, Ryland has gone 6-for-7 on field goals and converted all four of his PATs. Prater won't be eligible to come off IR until Week 12 versus Seattle, at the earliest, leaving Ryland in line to start Sunday against the Dolphins and beyond.

  • Replaces injured Prater on roster

    The Cardinals signed Ryland off their practice squad Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Arizona had elevated Ryland from its practice squad the past two games as a replacement for Matt Prater (knee). Ryland knocked down both of his extra-point tries and five of six field-goal attempts in those contests, and he'll be Arizona's kicker for at least four more games after the team added him to the 53-man roster and moved Prater to injured reserve Tuesday.

  • Makes all three kicks Sunday

    Ryland made both field-goal attempts and his only point-after try during Sunday's 34-13 loss in Green Bay.

    Analysis: Filling in for Matt Prater (left knee) for a second consecutive game, Ryland was perfect this time around after having a 45-yard FGA blocked and returned for a touchdown during a Week 5 win at San Francisco. Ryland also reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL"s transaction log. With Arizona not playing again until next Monday versus the Chargers, Prater will be given a bit more time than normal to prove his health, but he may need to get back to full participation between…read more

  • Set for kicking duties again

    Ryland will be the Cardinals' kicker against the Packers on Sunday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: With Matt Prater nursing a knee injury, Ryland was elevated from the practice squad Saturday. Prater was deemed inactive Sunday morning, so Ryland will handle kicking duties for a second straight week. Last week, Ryland went 3-for-4 on field-goal tries, with his lone miss coming on a blocked 45-yard attempt.

  • Elevated again for Week 6

    The Cardinals elevated Ryland from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Matt Prater (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday, so the addition of Ryland provides much-needed insurance in case Prater is unable to go. While Prater was sidelined last week versus San Francisco, Ryland stepped in at kicker and went 3-for-4 on field-goal tries, with his lone miss being a blocked 45-yard attempt. Ryland's elevation Saturday could be a sign that Prater will be held out again Sunday, though that may not be confirmed until Arizona releases its inactive list approximately …read more

    Ryland connected on three of four field-goal attempts and his only point-after try during Sunday's 24-23 win at San Francisco.

    Analysis: Ryland was elevated from the Cardinals' practice squad Saturday to fill in for the injured Matt Prater (left knee) in Week 5, and the former fared well aside from having a 45-yard FGA blocked and returned for a touchdown in the second quarter. On Monday, Ryland reverted to the practice squad, per the NFL's transaction log, after which coach Jonathan Gannon told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com that the team was taking a wait-and-see approach with Prater. Such comments indicate Ryland may be called…read more

  • Set for kicking duties

    Ryland will be the Cardinals' kicker against the 49ers on Sunday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Ryland was elevated from the practice squad Saturday due to Matt Prater's (knee) availability being in question for Week 5. With Prater ultimately being inactive, the Maryland product will get the opportunity to handle kicking duties. Ryland was selected in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Patriots but ultimately struggled in his rookie campaign, making just 64 percent of his FGAs before getting cut by New England in August.

  • Elevated ahead of Week 5

    The Cardinals elevated Ryland from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Ryland was signed to the Cardinals' practice squad Tuesday to provide insurance in case Matt Prater (knee) is unable to play Sunday against the 49ers. Prater was able to practice Friday as a limited participant, but if his knee injury prevents him from suiting up Sunday, Ryland will serve as the Cardinals' kicker. Ryland went 16-for-25 on field-goal attempts and connected on 24 of 25 extra-point tries with the Patriots in 2023.

  • Joins Cardinals' practice squad

    The Cardinals signed Ryland to their practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: The 2023 fourth-round pick spent his rookie campaign with the Patriots before being waived in late August. Ryland converted on just 16 of his 25 field-goal attempts but missed only one of his 25 point-after tries in 2023. He could be elevated to Arizona's active roster if Matt Prater deals with injury at any point this season.

  • Cut by New England

    The Patriots will waive Ryland on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The 2023 fourth-round selection had been competing with Joey Slye, but Ryland is now headed to the waiver wire after handling New England's kicking duties last season. If Ryland goes unclaimed, he could rejoin the Patriots as a member of the practice squad.

  • Set to compete with veteran kicker

    Ryland is slated to face competition from veteran kicker Joey Slye, who is in line to sign with the Patriots, Mark Daniels of masslive.com reports.

    Analysis: A fourth-round pick of the Patriots in the 2023 NFL Draft, Ryland is coming off a rookie campaign in which he made just 64 percent of his field-goal attempts (16 of 25). Though the Maryland product has a strong kicking leg, he'll need to display better accuracy in the coming months in order to hold off the challenge presented by the 28-year-old Slye, who connected on 79.2 percent of his field-goal tries with the Commanders last season.

  • Records 72 points this past season

    Ryland connected on 16 of his 25 field-goal attempts and 24 of his 25 extra-point tries in 17 games during the 2023 season.

    Analysis: The Patriots took Ryland, who logged 72 points in that span, in the fourth round (112th overall) of last April's NFL draft, and the Maryland product took over the team's kicking job ahead of Week 1 following the trade of Nick Folk to the Titans. Accuracy issues and working behind an inconsistent offense limited Ryland's fantasy utility as a rookie, but he'll presumably have an opportunity to continue his role in 2024. That said, when it comes to New England's looming roster overhaul, it…read more

  • Misses lone FG attempt Sunday

    Ryland missed his only field-goal attempt and made all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Ryland's miss in the contest was from 47 yards out, and overall the rookie kicker has made 15 of his 24 field-goal tries and 24 of his 25 extra-point opportunities through 16 games. As the Patriots' season finale against the Jets approaches, Ryland profiles as a risky fantasy lineup option in Week 18.

  • Makes game-winner from 56 yards

    Ryland made two of his three field-goal attempts and two of three extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: After missing from 47 yards late in the first half of the contest and then missing an extra point in the third quarter, Ryland came through with seconds left, hitting a game-winning try from a career-high 56 yards. Through 15 games, Ryland has scored 66 points, while hitting 65.2 percent of his field-goal attempts, a pace that has given him limited fantasy utility during his rookie season.

  • Misses another kick Sunday

    Ryland converted one of his two field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-17 loss versus the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Ryland has now missed three of his last six field-goal tries, and the 41-yarder he hooked to the left in Week 15 was not particularly close. The rookie's struggles thus far combined with the Patriots' offense's lack of juice make him a less-than-appealing option at kicker for the rest of the fantasy playoffs.

  • Three points Thursday

    Ryland made all three of his extra-point tries in Thursday's 21-18 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: For the second game in a row, Ryland didn't record any field-goal attempts; however, this time around the Patriots offense showed signs of life (after being shut out Week 13), which resulted in the kicker's only opportunities Thursday arriving on extra points. Ryland is still not a high-percentage fantasy option ahead of New England's Dec. 17 contest against the Chiefs, but the 2023 fourth-rounder has at least maintained his weekly role despite his accuracy issues (12 of 18 on FG tries) through…read more

    Ryland didn't record any field-goal attempts in Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Heading into Week 13 action, there had been some speculation that Ryland, who had missed 35-yard field-goal tries in consecutive games, could be potentially be replaced as the Patriots' kicker. Though Matthew Wright was added to the team's practice squad, Ryland maintained his role Sunday. Looking ahead to Thursday night's game against the Steelers, the 2023 fourth-rounder is off the fantasy radar considering the continuing struggles of New England's offense.

    Ryland missed his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Ryland's miss was a 35-yard try with six seconds remaining that would have tied Sunday's contest. The rookie kicker also missed a 35-yard attempt in the Patriots' 10-6 loss to the Colts in Week 10. PerZack Cox of NESN.com, coach Bill Belichick noted his frustration with Ryland's recent performance, while at the same time acknowledging the 2023 fourth-rounder's ability.

  • Makes two field goals Sunday

    Ryland made two of his three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Ryland's successful tries Sunday were from 37 and 24 yards, while his miss came from 35 yards out. As the Patriots head into their bye week, Ryland has made 12 of his 17 field-goal attempts through 10 games while having recorded 49 points in that span. Given that he's kicking behind an inconsistent offense, Ryland's fantasy upside appears modest ahead of his team's Nov. 26 contest against the Giants.

  • Limited as offense still struggling

    Ryland converted his only field-goal attempt and both of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 loss versus Washington.

    Analysis: New England's offense failed to crack 20 points for the second consecutive game in Week 9, and Ryland again saw few opportunities as a result. He has struggled on longer kicks so far this season, and as long as the Patriots continue to fail to move the ball, there are better fantasy options at kicker.

  • Mostly quiet as offense sputters

    Ryland converted his only field-goal attempt and both of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-17 loss at Miami.

    Analysis: Ryland did all he could in Week 8, but with New England only managing to accumulate 218 total yards of offense on the day, that just didn't amount to much. For his part, he has looked solid on short kicks and shaky on longer ones through eight games in 2023. The Patriots should have an easier time moving the ball in Week 9 when they host a Washington defense that's allowed 28.5 points per game this season.

  • Posts 11 points in Week 7

    Ryland made all three of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 29-25 win over the Bills en route to recording a season-high 11 points.

    Analysis: Ryland now has 33 points over his first seven games as a pro, and his fantasy upside going forward hinges on how the Patriots' offense (which has been inconsistent this season) moves the ball in the coming weeks. Next up for the team is a Week 8 divisional matchup against the Dolphins.

    Ryland made his only field-goal attempt (from 43 yards) in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Ryland also made both of his extra-point tries Sunday, and through six contests to date, the rookie kicker has compiled a total of 22 points. Until the 1-5 Patriots pick up the pace on offense, Ryland will profile as a low-end fantasy option.

    Ryland missed his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 34-0 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Following his miss from 48-yards Sunday, Ryland is now 4-of-8 on field-goal attempts through his first five NFL games. Though the 2023 fourth-rounder isn't in danger of losing his job as the Patriots kicker, he'll profile as a low-percentage fantasy option until both his accuracy and the team's offense show signs of improvement.

  • Rookie misses again

    Ryland made one of his two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

    Analysis: Ryland made his first attempt from 29 yards out to tie the game in the first quarter. However, he didn't take the field again until late in the fourth quarter to attempt a 52-yard field goal, which he missed wide right. The rookie fourth-round selection is now 4-for-7 on FGAs this season while missing two of three attempts of 50-plus yards. Next up for Ryland are the Saints in Week 5.

  • Makes two of four FG tries Sunday

    Ryland made two of his four field-goal attempts in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Ryland, who notched seven points in the contest, made field goals from 48 and 51 yards Sunday, with his misses coming from 48 and 57 yards. Per Zack Cox of NESN, windy and rainy conditions didn't help the rookie kicker's cause, with coach Bill Belichick giving Ryland a vote of confidence following the contest. "We need to have a cleaner operation," Belichick said of the team's Week 3 kicking game. "But I thought (Ryland) showed mental toughness coming back and making that kick in the third…read more

  • Five points in Week 2

    Ryland made his only field-goal attempt (from 49 yards) in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Ryland also made both of his extra-point tries Sunday and now has a total of seven points through his first two games as a pro. As the season progresses there will be weeks where the 2023 fourth-rounder has more scoring opportunities, but for now Ryland is a speculative fantasy option.

  • Two points in opener

    Ryland made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's season-opening 25-20 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: With Nick Folk having been traded to the Titans at the end of August, Ryland is entrenched as the Patriots' kicker this season and will thus have plenty of weeks where he'll be called upon more. The 2023 fourth-rounder's next chance to log a field-goal attempt will arrive this coming weekend when the Patriots host the Dolphins.

  • Lands New England's kicking job

    With Nick Folk having been traded to the Titans on Tuesday, Ryland is slated to open the season as the Patriots' kicker, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: The Patriots took Ryland in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, so it would have been surprising if he didn't land the job. While Folk was a steady and consistent veteran option during his stint with the franchise, Ryland has a bigger kicking leg, which should prove to be an asset both on long-range attempts and on kickoffs.

  • Competing with Nick Folk

    Ryland connected on an extra-point try in Friday's 23-7 preseason loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: As Tuesday's roster cut-downs approach, Ryland and veteran Nick Folk are still in the Patriots' kicker mix and remain in what coach Bill Belichick noted Friday was a "pretty tight competition," Mark Daniels of masslive.com reports. Given that the Patriots selected Ryland in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, it would be surprising to see him let go, but with both kickers having had "really good camps," per Belichick, the team has a tough decision to make at the position, with Daniels…read more

  • Inks contract with New England

    Ryland has agreed to terms with the Patriots, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that Ryland's deal is on track to be a four-year $4.626 million pact. Though the Patriots still currently roster veteran Nick Folk, given the team traded up eight spots in order to select the Maryland product in the fourth round (112th overall) of the 2023 NFL Draft, it's expected that New England will move forward this season with Ryland as the franchise's next kicker.
