Zuerlein made one of two field-goal attempts and one of two PAT attempts in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Zuerlein posted yet another subpar performance, failing to tie the game after the Jets' first-quarter touchdown and missing a 44-yard field-goal attempt in the fourth. This was the third loss for the 2-6 Jets in which Zuerlein's inaccuracy played a pivotal role. Even on a short week before Thursday's home game against the Texans, it wouldn't be surprising if the Jets looked for an alternative to Zuerlein, who has six misses on 15 field-goal attempts this season.

Zuerlein missed his only field-goal attempt and made his only official PAT try in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Zuerlein's 35-yard field-goal attempt in the third quarter was blocked, keeping the Jets' deficit at the time at eight points. He also had a PAT blocked, but that play was erased by a penalty on the Steelers, and the Jets subsequently opted to go for two. The Jets' margin for error is nearly nonexistent at 2-5, and Zuerlein's inaccuracy has been a major factor in two of those losses, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Jets look for alternatives prior to a Week 8 trip to New England. The veteran kicker has made only eight of 13 field-goal attempts this season, with no successful kicks from beyond 40 yards.

Zuerlein converted two of four field-goal attempts and both PAT tries in Monday's 23-20 loss to the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
For the second time in the last three weeks, a Jets loss can be pinned squarely on Greg's leg. After missing a go-ahead field-goal attempt in the final minute against the Broncos in Week 4, Zuerlein clanked two second-half go-ahead field-goal attempts off the upright Monday. It was a windy night at MetLife Stadium, but the misses came from 32 and 43 yards, while Zuerlein's makes from 34 and 22 were hardly impressive. The veteran kicker's reputation has bought him some breathing room up to this point, but the Jets will likely start considering alternatives if Zuerlein's accuracy issues persist.

Zuerlein connected on his only field-goal attempt and made both PAT tries in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Zuerlein connected from 32 yards in the third quarter after the Jets forewent what would have been a 44-yard field-goal attempt in the second quarter in favor of a pitiful attempt to pick up fourth-and-2 on the ground. That decision proved costly, as it forced the Jets to go for a touchdown down by six on their final possession after once again working their way into field-goal range. Zuerlein has made multiple field goals only once through five games.

Zuerlein made three of four field-goal attempts in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Zuerlein scored all of the Jets' points in this one, but his makes from 23, 35 and 40 yards were overshadowed by his missed 50-yard field-goal attempt with 47 seconds remaining, which ended the Jets' hopes of improving to 3-1. Instead, the Jets are 2-2 and Zuerlein's just 5-for-7 on field-goal attempts heading into a Week 5 trip to London to face the Vikings.

Zuerlein made one of two field-goal attempts and all three PAT tries in Thursday's 24-3 win over the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Zuerlein contributed only one of the NFL-record 73 field goals made in Week 2, and he converted just one yet again Thursday. The Jets have been efficient when they get into scoring range early this season, with nine touchdowns compared to only three field-goal attempts, and Zuerlein shanked a 45-yard attempt late in the first half Thursday before bouncing back with a 28-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.

Zuerlein made his only field-goal attempt from 33 yards and converted all three of his PAT tries in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Zuerlein got another relatively light workload, as he has attempted only one field goal through two games. Aaron Rodgers and the Jets' offense will look to heat up in Thursday's home opener against the Patriots and give Zuerlein more kicking opportunities.

Zuerlein made his lone PAT attempt and didn't attempt a field goal in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Zuerlein's coming off a strong season in which he made 35 of 38 field-goal attempts, but the veteran kicker didn't get a chance to show off his big leg Monday as San Francisco dominated time of possession. Forced to play catch-up, the Jets went for two after two of their three touchdowns. Zuerlein will hope to get more opportunities in Week 2 against the Titans.

Zuerlein is slated to sign a two-year, $8.4 million deal to remain with the Jets, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
In 16 regular-season games with New York in 2023, Zuerlein connected on 35 of his 38 field-goal attempts and 15 of his 16 extra-point tries en route to recording 120 points. Looking ahead, the 36-year-old's fantasy upside hinges on the performance of the Jets offense in 2024, The unit figures to be buoyed by the looming return to action of veteran franchise QB Aaron Rodgers (Achilles).

Zuerlein made three of four field-goal attempts in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
With heavy snow coming down, no kick was easy, so Zuerlein's performance was more than adequate in that context. He connected from 21, 40 and 33 yards but banged a 49-yard attempt off the upright. The miss was only Zuerlein's third on 38 field-goal attempts, and he made 15 of 16 PAT tries in 2023. The 36-year-old kicker will be a free agent this offseason, but the Jets will likely try to re-sign Zuerlein, who has spent the past two seasons with the team on one-year deals.
