Makes first field goal of 2022 Slye made one field goal and one PAT during Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact Slye's first field-goal attempt of 2022 came from 45-yards out and cut Washington's deficit to 15-10. The Commanders have been aggressive on fourth downs and two-point conversion decisions this season, which has limited Slye's opportunities. Through four weeks, the veteran kicker remains one of the least appealing kickers for fantasy purposes.

No action in loss Slye did not attempt a field goal or PAT in Sunday's 24-8 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Slye went a third consecutive week without a field goal attempt to open the 2022 campaign and didn't have an opportunity to kick a PAT when the team went for two following their only touchdown of the game in the fourth quarter. The kicker remains one of the least appealing fantasy options at his position.

No FG attempts through two games Slye made one of two PAT attempts in Sunday's 36-27 loss to the Lions.

Impact For a second consecutive week to open the season, Slye didn't attempt a field goal. He still managed to cost his team, though, as Slye's missed PAT after a fourth-quarter Washington touchdown kept Detroit's lead at nine points rather than making it a one-possession game. His lack of both volume and accuracy has made Slye an unappealing fantasy option thus far.

Impact The full terms of Slye's deal have yet to be disclosed, though Ian Rapoport of NFL Network notes the deal is worth nearly $5 million.

Tendered by Commanders Syle received a one-year, $2.4 million tender from the Commanders on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Slye appeared in six games for Washington last year and converted all 12 of his field-goal attempts while making nine of 10 extra-point tries. After spending time with three teams in 2021, the 25-year-old is the leading candidate to serve as the Commanders' kicker heading into 2022. He'll still face competition from Brian Johnson, whom Washington tendered earlier this week.

The 25-year-old spent the second half of the season with Washington and missed three games with a hamstring injury, but he made all 12 of his field-goal attempts while converting nine of 10 extra-point tries during his six appearances with the club. In total, he took the field in 12 games with Houston, San Francisco and Washington and converted 23 of 25 field-goal attempts while making 18 of 22 extra-point tries.

Impact Washington currently has two kickers on the active roster, and for a second consecutive game, Slye is getting the nod over Brian Johnson, who is inactive. In his first game action last Sunday since Week 12, Slye didn't see much work in a 56-14 loss at Dallas, making both extra points and not getting a chance at a field-goal attempt. He'll aim for a more fruitful performance in Week 17.

Barring another blowout, Slye is expected to get a few more opportunities against the Eagles in Week 17.

Impact Slye suffered a hamstring injury during Monday's 17-15 win over Seattle, and he was subsequently limited to extra-point tries but unable to attempt field goals.
