San Diego Chargers K Nate Kaeding (groin) has been officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. It will be the second straight game he's missed while dealing with a lingering groin injury. The Chargers signed Nick Novak to kick in his place.
Nate Kaeding injury update: out with groin injury, remove from fantasy lineups
Nate Kaeding has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Saints. We break down the fantasy implications.


Fantasy Impact: Kaeding has been a perfect 7-for-7 on field goals before the injury, so he might be worth stashing on your bench until he comes back. On the other hand, it's a kicker, the one fantasy position you shouldn't be stressing about. Novak made three FGs against the Chiefs last week and is more than capable of filling in for Kaeding. Go ahead and pick him off the wire if you haven't done so already.
