John Parker Romo Injury History & Analysis

Vikings K Will Reichard (quad) has been activated from IR. K John Parker Romo was released in a corresponding move. Reichard will be back for Sunday's game vs. the Falcons. He's a viable Week 14 fantasy start with Minnesota sporting a 25.5-point implied total.

Vikings K Will Reichard (quad) has been designated to return from IR. That should have him on track to kick vs. the Falcons this weekend. Reichard missed the last four games but ranks top 15 at his position in fantasy points per game in most scoring systems. We'd try to wait at least one week before getting Reichard into fantasy lineups, though.

Vikings K Will Reichard is expected to miss at least this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars with a quad strain, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Minnesota is signing K John Parker Romo to fill in for Reichard. The former undrafted free agent has yet to attempt an NFL kick. The Vikings have a 25.75-point implied total this weekend, but we'd shy away from using Romo in fantasy lineups in his NFL debut.

Update: Reichard will be placed on IR, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He'll miss at least the next four games and can be dropped from fantasy rosters.
