Vikings' John Parker Romo: Kicker to Start
Rotowire
Romo did well in his first game for the Vikings in Week 10 at Jacksonville in place of the injured Will Reichard (quadriceps). Romo made all four of his field goals in helping the Vikings to a 12-7 victory, and he is worth starting in all leagues in Week 11 at Tennessee. The Titans have allowed four kickers to score at least 10 Fantasy points this season, and Reichard and Romo now have five games this season with at least 10 Fantasy points, which shows the Minnesota kicker is a valuable commodity.

The Vikings will sign Romo to the 53-man roster Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
A third-year pro out of Virginia Tech, Romo will get the chance to make his NFL regular-season debut beginning with this Sunday's game against the Jaguars as a replacement at kicker for Will Reichard (quadricep). Romo had previously been with the Vikings during the offseason, but he was cut in late July once Minnesota had firmly committed to Reichard as its kicker. Though he has yet to appear at the NFL level, Romo kicked professionally in the XFL for the San Antonio Brahmas back in 2023, when he converted 17 of 19 field-goal attempts, including a long of 57 yards.

Lions' John Parker Romo: Signs with Detroit
Rotowire
Romo agreed to a contract with the Lions on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Romo signed with the Saints last year as an undrafted free agent, but he was let go ahead of the 2022 campaign. The Virginia Tech product impressed enough during a recent stint with the XFL's San Antonio Brahmas to earn an opportunity to compete for a spot on the Lions' Week 1 roster. He'll face an uphill battle to unseat Michael Badgley as Detroit's top placekicker.
