The Facts:
Zac Derr injured his groin and was waived Sunday, putting the much-anticipated field-goal kicking battle in flux. Derr and Tony Yelk, free agents who have never kicked in an NFL game, were seeking to win the job vacated by Todd Peterson, who was not re-signed.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Falcons are expected to sign another free-agent kicker to come in a compete with Yelk. But because of the tight salary-cap situation, they want a lower-price kicker to make the team. Still, Peterson -- and fellow free agent Paul Edinger -- could be brought on board later this summer if need be.
