Jets claim Blake Grupe off waivers from Colts

The New York Jets claimed kicker Blake Grupe off waivers from the Indianapolis Colts, according to Adam Schefter.

What this means for the Jets kicking job

Grupe joins the Jets after being cut by Indianapolis, and his waiver claim puts the kicker competition in New York on watch. Whoever wins the job will be relevant in fantasy, particularly in PPR and standard formats where kicker scoring can swing weeks.

Hold off on rostering any Jets kicker until a clear starter emerges.
