Nick Novak

Novak, one of four kickers the Chargers trotted out during 2017, was placed on injured reserve in Week 13 after suffering a recurring back issue. While the team did sign Roberto Aguayo to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, it appears as though Novak could still be a part of a competition with Aguayo and Nick Rose during training camp. The 36-year-old made nine of his 13 field-goal attempts in seven games this season.

The Texans kicker has dealt with the injury over the last couple of weeks, but has been able to play through it and effectively. As long as Novak gets in some practice time through the remainder of the week, he will once again be a solid fantasy option. The kicker has made 34 field goals on 39 attempts this season.

Novak wasn’t in the concussion protocol for that long and its great news as he should get a couple of preseason games under his belt prior to the regular season beginning. The 35-year-old converted on 18 of 21 field goals last season and should be line for another strong season for the Texans.

Novak was roughed up on the Texans final kickoff on Saturday, but the coaching staff doesn't believe it to be serious. He remains in the protocol because it's always better to be safe rather than sorry.
