When the Vikings offense was more conservative in 2021, Joseph averaged 8.8 points per game and was a top-10 kicker. Last year, head coach Kevin O'Connell kicked his offense into overdrive and it took field-goal chances away from Joseph, leaving him with a 7.8-point average and outside the top 12 kickers. Given that O'Connell's offense is even more explosive this year, Joseph may not come through for big numbers. His Week 1 matchup versus the Bucs could work out for him, but don't be surprised if he disappoints in the three or four games after. He's worthy of a final-round pick.

Rotowire
Joseph converted all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-28 win at the Falcons.
Joseph had a bit of a resurgence in Week 9 after struggling the three games prior, knocking through a few chip shots in a high-scoring affair. One of his kicks even gave Minnesota a 24-21 lead in the fourth quarter. Minnesota will host a solid New Orleans defense in Week 10, which has the potential to stifle Joseph's fantasy projection somewhat.

Vikings' Greg Joseph: Struggles continue at Green Bay
Rotowire
Joseph converted one of his three field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-10 win at the Packers.
Joseph failed to convert on two kicks for the third straight game in Week 8. In his defense, one of his field-goal attempts was blocked Sunday, and conditions were unfavorable for special-teams operations as they tend to be in late October in Green Bay. Either way, down the stretch, Minnesota will justifiably expect him to make kicks at a better rate than he has over the last few weeks.

Vikings' Greg Joseph: Tough day in ugly win
Rotowire
Joseph made two of his three field-goal attempts and one of his two extra-point tries in Sunday's 19-13 win at Chicago.
Joseph failed to convert on both an extra-point try and a field-goal attempt for the first time this season in Week 6. In his defense, the former kick was blocked and the latter was a 57-yarder on a cool fall day in the Windy City. Even still, Minnesota's offense looked strained without Justin Jefferson (IR-hamstring) and will draw a brutal matchup versus San Francisco's defense in Week 7.

Vikings' Greg Joseph: Just one FGA through two games
Rotowire
Joseph didn't attempt a field goal but made all four PAT tries in Thursday's 34-28 loss to the Eagles.
Joseph has attempted just one field goal through two games, as Minnesota has been effective at punching in touchdowns while simultaneously struggling with turnovers en route to an 0-2 start.

His lone field-goal attempt came in the second quarter from 25 yards out, and he remained perfect from under 30 yards (23-for-23) on his career. Minnesota has a tough matchup on tap in Week 2 when it plays at Philadelphia on a short week Thursday.

Vikings' Greg Joseph: Dip in efficiency during 2022
Rotowire
Joseph converted 26 of his 33 field-goal attempts and went 40-for-46 on point-after tries over 17 games in the 2022 regular season.
Joseph got off to a rough start during his second season with Minnesota, going 9-for-14 on field-goal tries over the first seven games. He did finish strong by not missing a single field-goal attempt in all but one of the final 11 games, including the wild-card loss to the Giants. However, Joseph particularly struggled from long range this season, as he knocked through four of his 10 field-goal attempts of 50 yards or more. He thus finished with both the most missed field goals and extra points of his career, so it's unclear if he'll be re-signed before becoming an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
