Justin Tucker Nails Only Field-Goal Attempt Against Cards
Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker nailed his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's win over Arizona, connecting on a 29-yarder late in the first quarter. Although the veteran has been perfect throughout the preseason, fantasy managers don't need a reminder of just how dominant he has been. The 32-year-old should remain one of the first kickers […]
Evan McPherson Misses First Field Goal Try Of The Preseason
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson made three of his four field goal attempts during the preseason loss to the Giants. After going a perfect 3-for-3 against the Arizona Cardinals, he missed his first field goal of the preseason on Sunday. To be fair, it was a 58-yard attempt, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned. […]
Graham Gano Diagnosed With A Concussion
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (concussion) won't return to Sunday's preseason showdown with Cincinnati due to a concussion. The veteran has been a reliable fantasy contributor over the years while remaining one of the few consistent members of the Giants' offense. An update on Gano's status should come soon. However, considering it's a head […]
Graham Gano Being Evaluated For A Concussion
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (concussion) exited Sunday's preseason matchup against Cincinnati for a concussion evaluation. The 35-year-old has been nearly automatic throughout his two years in New York, so being without him wouldn't be ideal for a team looking to improve on the offensive end. Nonetheless, an update on Gano's condition should come […]
Cade York Boots 50-Yard Field Goal Sunday
Cleveland Browns kicker Cade York made two of his three field goals in a 21-20 preseason loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. He also added two extra points in the contest. York showed off a big leg with a 50-yard field goal in the second quarter and followed that up with a 19-yard make […]

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders made his lone extra-point attempt and went 2-for-3 on field goals against the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday evening.

Kicking Job Is Rodrigo Blankenship's To Lose
The Athletic's Zak Keefer gets the sense that the Indianapolis Colts kicking job is Rodrigo Blankenship's to lose in training camp. Jake Verity missed an extra point in the preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills, which is close to a death knell in a kicking competition. Blankenship went 5-for-5 and hit a 55-yarder in Wednesday's […]
Jason Myers Converts One Of Two Field Goals
Seattle Seahawks veteran kicker Jason Myers went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts during Thursday's preseason loss to the Chicago Bears. He missed from 47 yards out and was successful from 27 yards.

Unofficially, York has made 28 of 30 field-goal attempts in competitive situations, and one of his misses […]
Greg Joseph Perfect In Preseason Opener
Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph made both of his field-goal and extra-point attempts in the team's preseason opener against the Las Vegas Raiders, connecting on 20-yard and 23-yard attempts. The 28-year-old made 33 of 38 field-goal attempts and 70 of 78 extra-point attempts during the 2021 season, so he should be a reliable option for […]
Brandon McManus Connects On All Three Kicks
Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus went 2-for-2 on extra points during Saturday's preseason victory over the Dallas Cowboys. He also converted his lone field goal attempt. The 31-year-old has been one of the NFL's more reliable kickers, so it comes as no surprise that the Broncos did not entertain any competition for McManus this offseason. […]
Jason Sanders Connects On All Six Kicks
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders went 4-for-4 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points during Saturday's preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sanders has the kicking job secured, so Miami didn't feel the need to bring in any competition. After an underwhelming first half to the 2021 season, Sanders looked better in the […]
Jason Myers Perfect in Preseason Debut
Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers connected on his only field goal attempt and went 2-for-2 in extra-point tries in Saturday's 32-25 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
