Jason Sanders is the Jets' kicker. Cade York is not. New York announced Sanders as the starter and waived York, per sports.yahoo.com. The move ends the kicking competition with a clear winner.
Fantasy impact: This is exactly the kind of transaction that matters if you play in leagues that roster kickers. Sanders now owns the Jets' kicking duties. That puts him on the streaming radar, especially in a New York offense that should move the ball. York, on the other hand, is worthless in fantasy now. If he was on your roster, he's a drop.
Sanders steps into a role that was unsettled. The Jets had multiple kickers in camp, and they made the call. There's no ambiguity. Sanders is the guy.
This also carries a roster implication: the Jets are carrying one kicker, freeing up a spot for another position. That's a minor detail, but it's the kind of thing that matters in the grind of the season.
My verdict: Sanders is a low-end fantasy kicker you can trust as a streamer. He's not a league-winner, but he's a stable option with weekly upside. If you need a kicker, he's a pick-up. And if you were holding York, this news ends that experiment. Sanders is the kicker in New York, and that's that.
