So, when should we expect Reichard to return from injury and produce for our fantasy football lineups?
Will Reichard Injury Update
Reichard was placed on injured reserve following his Week 9 performance, which means he won’t be eligible to return until Week 14. For fantasy managers, that’s a tough blow if you were counting on him for playoff matchups.

So Will Reichard has a quad strain that will keep him out at least 4 games. Why did they continue to let him kick on Sunday night?

His return might bring value back if he’s healthy, but stashing a kicker for several weeks is a difficult call, especially when playoff spots are on the line. At this point, it’s probably best to find a more immediately available option until we get closer to his return.

Reichard’s consistency and accuracy make him a promising option for the future, but with him sidelined and the Vikings' offense remaining unpredictable, he’s not worth holding onto in fantasy right now. Even though he came out of Alabama with a strong pedigree, the uncertainty around Darnold’s play and Reichard’s injury status just add too much risk.
Once he’s healthy and back on the field, he might be worth a look if you’re hunting for a reliable kicker, but for now, it’s best to explore other options as we head into the heart of the fantasy season.
