Reichard finished the 2024 season making 24 of 30 field-goal attempts and all 38 of his extra-point tries across 13 games with Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
A sixth-round pick out of Alabama in the 2024 NFL Draft, Reichard was a perfect 14 of 14 on field-goal tries and 23 for 23 on extra-point attempts through Week 8, but he suffered a quad injury during a Week 9 win over the Colts in which he missed both of his field-goal tries. Reichard missed the next four contests on injured reserve but wasn't the same after returning in Week 14. Reichard went 10 of 14 on field-goal attempts over the final five weeks. However, he did make his lone kick in the wild-card playoff loss to the Rams. Reichard figures to be in the mix as a top fantasy kicker next season, kicking for a team that will likely again put up plenty of points with coach Kevin O'Connell orchestrating the offense.

Reichard made three of his four field-goal attempts during Sunday's 31-9 loss at Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Reichard was nearly perfect in the Vikings' loss in Week 18, but he missed a 51-yard try wide to the right near the end of the third quarter. It was a fitting end to the regular season for Reichard, who produced serviceably if not spectacularly in his rookie year. He finished the 2024 regular season having made 24 of his 30 field-goal attempts (80.0 percent) and having converted all 38 of his extra-point tries.

Reichard made all three of his extra-point tries but went 2-for-4 on field-goal attempts during the Vikings' 27-25 win over the Packers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Reichard missed his first kicking attempt midway through the first quarter, when his 57-yard field-goal try (one yard shy of his career long) clanged off the crossbar. The rookie sixth-round pick got back on track with two successful field-goal tries in the second quarter -- including a 50-yard field goal at the end of the first half -- but his 43-yard field-goal attempt early in the fourth quarter bounced off the left upright and prevented the Vikings from going up by 20 points. It was the second time this season that Reichard missed two field-goal attempts in a game, with the first instance taking place against the Colts in Week 9 (and he was placed on injured reserve the following week due to a strained right quadriceps). The Vikings will need Reichard to be on target in their pivotal regular-season finale against the Lions on Sunday in a game that will determine the No. 1 seed in the NFC heading into the postseason.

Reichard made both of his field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts during the Vikings' 27-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Reichard connected on field goals from 52 and 48 yards out in the second and third quarter, respectively. Over his last three games since returning from a right quadriceps strain, Reichard has gone 5-for-6 on field-goal attempts and has converted all 12 of his extra-point tries. The Vikings will need Reichard's accuracy in their Week 17 NFC North clash against the Packers on Sunday.

Reichard made all three of his field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Monday's 30-12 win versus the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Reichard seemed to find a rhythm after hitting a 52-yarder on Minnesota's first drive of the game, bouncing back in a big way after struggling during his prior two appearances. He'll be looking to keep up the positive momentum in Week 16 when the Vikings travel to take on Seattle.

Reichard made all six extra-point tries but missed his lone field-goal attempt in a 42-21 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Reichard missed his third field goal of the season when a 47-yard attempt on the Vikings' opening drive of the second half hit the left upright. However, the rookie kicker did remain perfect on PATs and has made all 29 extra-point tries this season.

Reichard (quadricep) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Though Reichard carried a questionable tag into Sunday, the Vikings removed most of the mystery about his status by activating him from injured reserve Saturday and waiving John Parker Romo, who had handled kicking duties for each of the last four games. After he was a full participant in practice throughout the week, Reichard looks to have proven his health and will now resume what had been a banner rookie campaign before he landed on IR on Nov. 5. Through his eight appearances on the season, the sixth-round pick out of Alabama converted 14 of 16 field-goal attempts and 23 of 23 extra-point attempts.

The Vikings activated Reichard (quadriceps) from injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Reichard was placed on IR in early November after straining his right quad during the Vikings' Week 9 win over the Colts. He's still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but Reichard is set to reclaim his starting kicking duties from John Parker Romo, who was waived Saturday in a corresponding move. Prior to his injury, Reichard went 14-for-16 on field-goal attempts and made all 23 of his extra-point tries across eight regular-season games.

Reichard (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Reichard has been sidelined for the Vikings' last four games due to a quadriceps injury. He was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, and while he's been given the questionable tag for Sunday's game, he's trending towards playing after logging full practices this week.

Reichard (quadriceps) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Reichard was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday after missing the Vikings' last four games due to a right quadriceps strain. He's opened the week with consecutive full practices, and it appears he is on track to be activated off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons. In the eight games prior to his injury, Reichard went 14-for-16 on field-goal attempts and converted on all 23 of his extra-point tries.
