2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ryland lasted just one year with the Patriots after they picked him in the fourth round of the 2023 Draft, making just 16 of 25 field-goal attempts as a rookie. The Cardinals gave him a shot anyway after long-time kicker Matt Prater suffered a knee injury, and Ryland responded by making 87.5 percent of FGAs and 96.3 percent of PATs, missing five kicks in 13 games. All four FG misses came from 40-49 yards, whereas he went 4-of-4 from 50-plus. Leg strength has never been a concern, and it looks like the Cardinals will ride with Ryland, having yet to re-sign Prater this offseason. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.95 million contract with the Cardinals in October of 2024.
Accuracy dips in 2025
Ryland made 25 of 33 field-goal attempts and all 36 of his PAT tries while playing in all 17 games during the 2025 regular season.
ANALYSIS
Ryland converted a subpar 75.8 percent of his field-goal attempts, landing between the unsightly 64.0 percent mark of his 2023 rookie season and the excellent 87.5 percent conversion rate he produced in 2024. He'll be a restricted free agent this offseason, and while Arizona may be interested in retaining the big-legged kicker, Ryland's regression in 2025 could prompt the team to bring in competition.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The Patriots drafted Ryland in the fourth round last year and then stuck with him through a disastrous rookie campaign. He led the league in missed field goals (nine) despite ranking t-27th in attempts (25), with the only semi-positive being decent work on PATs (24 of 25). Ryland went two of four from 50-plus yards and five of 10 from 40-49 yards, also missing two kicks inside of 40. The Patriots likely will bring in some competition before training camp, and even if they don't, Ryland doesn't figure to offer much fantasy value as part of a rebuilding team that will start either Jacoby Brissett or a rookie at quarterback.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could fill in for Prater in Week 5
Ryland could get a chance to kick for the Cardinals in Week 5 against the 49ers, as he signed with Arizona's practice squad Wednesday while Matt Prater didn't practice due to a knee injury, per Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site.
ANALYSIS
Prater still has a few days to recover, but if he remains unavailable due to the knee injury, Ryland would be in line to be elevated to the active roster before Sunday's game against the 49ers. Ryland was a fourth-round pick of the Patriots in the 2023 NFL Draft, but the team quickly lost patience with the young kicker after he made only 16 of 25 field-goal attempts as a rookie.
