Austin Seibert Not Worth Consideration In Week 2

Detroit Lions kicker Austin Seibert doesn't have much appeal in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. Kickers are tough to predict and any kicker can boom or bust any week, but since Seibert doesn't have a strong resume of fantasy production, there are plenty of options to consider before inserting him into fantasy lineups. The […]

Matt Gay A Solid Streaming Option In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay is a solid streaming option in his Week 2 home matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons allowed the most touchdowns per game in 2021 but only the 25th-most field goals. In sum, they allowed the 15th-most points to opposing kickers. There is a lot of random variability when […]

Dustin Hopkins Perfect In Week 2 Loss

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins drilled his lone field goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in Thursday's 27-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Hopkins' field goal accounted for the first points of the game but he was not asked to do much for the rest of the night. Because of […]

Chris Boswell's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made three of his four field goals in a 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. Boswell will look for another multiple-field goal game in a home matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 2.

Brett Maher Not A Strong Kicking Option In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher is not a strong kicking option in Week 2 fantasy lineups. Maher scored the only points for the Cowboys in a rough 19-3 loss in Week 1, but with Cooper Rush set to lead the Dallas offense, it's unlikely they need Maher for many extra points and unfortunately also unlikely […]

Greg Zuerlein Not A Week 2 Fantasy Option

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 2 lineups. Zuerlein missed two of his four kicks in Week 1, and playing on a team unlikely to score in bunches, Zuerlein needs to be perfect to just stay in the periphery of fantasy relevance. Most leagues will have several […]

Cade York's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns rookie kicker Cade York made quite an impression in his NFL debut in Week 1, booting a 58-yard, game-winning field goal with 13 seconds left to help beat the Carolina Panthers. York will look for more success in a home matchup against the New York Jets in Week 2. The Browns shouldn't have […]

Matt Ammendola's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Matt Ammendola is no Harrison Butker, but with Butker out with an ankle injury on Thursday, Ammendola has some appeal in fantasy leagues. The Chiefs have a high-powered offense and should give Ammendola some good opportunities via extra points and field goals. Last season with the Jets, Ammendola made 68.4% of […]

Dustin Hopkins - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins will look to get back on track in Week 2 after missing one of his two field goal attempts in Week 1. The Chargers take on the division rival Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night in what projects to be a high-scoring affair. Despite a shaky start to the […]

Harrison Butker Out Against the Chargers

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) will not play in Thursday night's matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The veteran kicker suffered an ankle injury early in the Chiefs' 44-21 Week 1 win over the Arizona Cardinals. While he did return in the second quarter and made a 54-yard field goal, Butker's injury kept […]

Colts Sign Chase McLaughlin, Lucas Havrisik

The Indianapolis Colts signed free-agent kickers Chase McLaughlin and Lucas Havrisik to their practice squad on Tuesday after waiving Rodrigo Blankenship, according to sources. McLaughlin went 5-for-6 on field goals and 11-for-11 on extra points in four games for the Colts in 2019, while Havrisik spent time with the team in rookie camp. The Colts […]

Colts Waive Rodrigo Blankenship

The Indianapolis Colts have waived kicker Rodrigo Blankenship after he missed a game-winning field goal in the team's season-opening tie with the Houston Texans. The 25-year-old made 2-of-3 field goals and both of his extra-point attempts in Week 1, with his longest kick being 45 yards. Since his rookie season in 2020, Blankenship has made […]

Harrison Butker Considered Day-To-Day

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) is considered day-to-day with an ankle sprain, according to head coach Andy Reid. Butker headed to the locker room in the season opener, but later returned to the game and made a 54-yard field goal. As some insurance, the team signed former New York Jets kicker Matt Ammendola […]

Colts Try Out Josh Lambo

The Indianapolis Colts tried out long-time Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo on Tuesday, according to a source. Current kicker Rodrigo Blankenship is already on shaky ground after missing one of his three field-goal attempts in the Week 1 tie with the Houston Texans. He also had two of his kickoffs go out of bounds for […]

Week 2 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 1 is in the rearview mirror, and just like every other position in fantasy football, we can't overreact to guys who had huge spike weeks in their season openers. We also can't get too low on guys who laid an egg. The kicker position is arguably one of the toughest positions to predict in […]

Brandon McManus Has Busy Night In Week 1

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus made three of his four field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in the team's Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night. His only miss was for the win late in the fourth quarter from 64 yards out when the Broncos curiously decided to kick the deep […]

Harrison Butker Misses Monday's Practice

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) didn't suit up for practice on Monday. The 27-year-old rolled his ankle during the opening kickoff on Sunday. That forced the Chiefs to lean on safety Justin Reid for kickoffs and two extra points. Luckily, Butker was able to return during the second quarter. Fantasy managers shouldn't be […]

Matt Ammendola Signs With Chiefs Practice Squad

The Kansas City Chiefs signed former New York Jets kicker Matt Ammendola to their practice squad on Monday. Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker injured his ankle during a Week 1 win over the Arizona Cardinals and his status is questionable for Week 2's Thursday night game against the Los Angeles Chargers. If Butker isn't ready to […]

Brett Maher Scores The Only Cowboys Points In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher scored the only Cowboys points in a 19-3 Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Maher attempted one field goal and made it from 51 yards out. And that was it. That was the extent of the Cowboys offense in a rough Week 1 game. Now with Dak Prescott […]

Ryan Succop Drills Four Field Goals In Week 1 Win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop went 4-for-5 in field goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He made attempts from 44, 38, 29, and 47 yards out, missing a try from 36 yards. The 35-year-old was productive on Sunday night and is one of the […]

Robbie Gould Hits Field Goal And Extra Point In 49ers Loss

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould went 1-for-1 kicking field goals and 1-for-1 on extra points in the 49ers' 19-10 loss to the Chicago Bears. The 49ers scored 10 points in the first half, including three on Gould's 25-yard field goal. They struggled to move the ball in the second half after running back Elijah […]

Evan McPherson Has A Game To Forget On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson got off to a fantastic start during the Week 1 loss to the Steelers, nailing a 59-yard boot in the first quarter. He followed that up with a 26-yard kick near the end of the first half. Yet, after long-snapper Clark Harris (bicep) exited due to injury, tight end Mitchell […]

Chris Boswell Makes Three Field Goals In Week 1 Win

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made three of his four field goals and added two extra points in a 23-20 overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1.

Nick Folk Attempts One Extra Point In Week 1 Loss

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk went 1-for-1 in extra-point attempts in Sunday's 20-7 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He did not attempt a field goal in Week 1.

Cleveland Browns kicker Cade York made all four of his field goals in a 26-24 win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. The rookie turned in a big afternoon in his NFL debut, hitting a 58-yard field goal with :08 seconds left in the game to win the game for the Browns. He also […]

Matt Prater Doesn't Attempt Field Goal In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater didn't attempt a field goal in Sunday's blowout loss. He made his only extra-point attempt as the Cardinals' offense went for a couple of two-point conversions while they were down big against the high-powered Kansas City Chiefs. Prater disappointed fantasy managers in this one, but to no fault of his […]

Dustin Hopkins Converts One Of Two Field Goal Attempts

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins made one of his two field goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in a 24-19 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Hopkins converted on a 43-yard attempt early in the game but missed wide left on a 49-yarder that would've given Los Angeles a two-touchdown lead in the […]

Greg Joseph Perfect In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph made all three of his field goal attempts and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Green Bay Packers. Joseph hit from 29, 56, and 28 in this one, putting on a perfect performance to open the season. The 28-year-old looks like a reliable starting option for fantasy […]

Wil Lutz Makes Two Field Goals Against The Falcons

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made two-of-three field goal attempts in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, including the game-winner with 19 seconds left. The veteran made his only attempt from beyond 50 yards. However, Lutz did miss a 44-yard field goal attempt late in the first quarter. The veteran kicker ended the game […]
