Zuerlein made his lone PAT attempt and didn't attempt a field goal in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers. 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. 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. 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.

Zuerlein (quadriceps) made two of three field-goal attempts and both PAT tries in Thursday's 37-20 loss to the Browns. Zuerlein connected from 46 yards and 44 yards but had a 31-yard attempt blocked in between. He came into the game nursing a quadriceps injury but played through it. Zuerlein's blocked field-goal attempt was just his second miss in 34 tries heading into the Week 18 season finale against the Patriots.

Zuerlein (quadriceps) is active for Thursday's game against Cleveland. Zuerlein was deemed a 'DNP' on Tuesday and logged a limited listing Wednesday due to a right quad injury. His status for Thursday Night Football was in some question, but he'll be able to participate in the contest after all. An erratic Jets offense has made it difficult to predict Zuerlein's production of late -- he's made multiple field goals three times in his past four games but also has three games with zero field goals among his past six contests.
