Jake Moody Vaults To Top-Three Status For Week 2
2 months agoSan Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody will kick off against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday. The former third-round pick began his sophomore season last week with a career day, hitting six of six field-goal attempts from 46, 51, 31, 53, 23, and 42 yards away. He also hit both of his extra-point attempts. Minnesota's defense is probably nothing special -- regardless of their domination of Daniel Jones and the New York Giants last week -- so Moody should be able to ride the coattails of San Francisco's explosive offensive attack as usual. It might actually be a good thing for Moody that touchdown hog Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, calf) is sidelined. If Moody has improved his accuracy issues from last year and the 49ers continue to put him in positions of field-goal volume, the talented kicker will be a top fantasy option for the foreseeable future. He's a top-three play in Week 2.
