Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that he will continue to call the offensive plays for the final two games of the regular season.

"Definitely, I feel like every week I've gotten a lot […]

Chris Boswell Makes 34-Yard Field Goal

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made one of two field goals and his lone extra point in a 36-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16. Boswell made a 34-yard field goal in the third quarter after he missed on a 36-yard try in the second quarter. The veteran kicker has seen his […]

Jake Elliott Makes Six Kicks In Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made two of his three field-goal attempts and all four extra points in a blowout Week 16 win over the New York Giants.

Matt Gay Has A Great Game In Week 16

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay has been crushing it over the last few weeks, and that level of play continued in Week 16 against the Minnesota Vikings. Gay went 6-for-6 on his kicking attempts, including making all three of his field goals. He'll likely finish as a top-five kicker for the week, and he's […]

Graham Gano - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano has been one of the few bright spots of the team's offense this season. He's converted 27-of-31 field goal attempts, including six from 50-plus, and is a perfect 15-for-15 in extra-point tries. New York's offense has struggled mightily and scored double-digits once over its four games. Gano tallied seven […]

Chris Naggar Misses Extra Point In NFL Debut

Cleveland Browns kicker Chris Naggar made his lone field goal, a 37 yarder, and went 1-for-2 on extra points in a 24-22 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Naggar had spent all of the season on the team's practice squad but was elevated when Chase McLaughlin was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list […]

Jason Myers A Safe Option In Week 16

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers hasn't been a great fantasy option this season, but he does have some upside in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears. Myers is the 27th-ranked kicker entering the week, and while he has some upside this week, he's still not the greatest streaming option for fantasy managers. The Bears defense […]

Matt Gay - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay has been one of the league's best kickers this season, and he should be locked into your fantasy lineups again in Week 16 against the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota ranks 23rd in points allowed this season at 24.4 per game, and they have just four games this season with fewer […]

Brett Maher - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints kicker Brett Maher is not a strong play against the Dolphins in Week 16. Maher has been reliable in the four games he has played with New Orleans, going 8-for-9 in field-goal attempts and 7-for-8 in extra points. Nevertheless, the Saints plan to start a rookie QB who has never made an […]

Chris Boswell - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell will take on the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 16. Boswell has been a reliable kicker in 2021 as he has hit on 28 of 31 field goals and 23 of 25 extra points. The Chiefs have been tough on kickers this year as they are allowing […]

Brian Johnson - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team kicker Brian Johnson could find his way into some solid production on Sunday night. Kicking indoors is always an attractive factor when considering kickers for fantasy lineups, so Johnson won't have to be dealing with external factors whenever he gets an opportunity on Sunday night. He was scripted out of the game […]

Brandon McManus - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus has finished most weeks outside of the top 12 at his position, and he enters the Week 16 game against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders as the No. 18 kicker in overall fantasy points. It's just hard to trust McManus from a fantasy perspective in an offense that scores only […]

Questionable Tag For Nick Folk

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk (knee) was listed as questionable on the final injury report for Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills. Folk has been listed on the injury report pretty much all year but should be available after getting in a full week of limited practices. The 37-year-old veteran has been money for […]

Jake Elliott - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is OK as a Week 16 option in fantasy lineups. Elliott has been as boom-or-bust as a kicker can be, putting up six top-12 kicker weeks along with seven weeks outside of the top-20. Week 16 is a good matchup with the Eagles not expected to struggle much against the […]

Greg Zuerlein - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is a solid fantasy option like usual in a Week 16 matchup against the Washington Football Team. Zuerlein has been a top-12 kicker for five weeks in a row and in all but two of the games he's played. In a position as variable and unpredictable as fantasy kicker has […]

Chase McLaughlin Lands On COVID-19 List

Cleveland Browns kicker Chase McLaughlin has tested positive for COVID-19, ruling him out for Saturday's matchup vs. Green Bay. McLaughlin will now head to the Reserve/COVID-19 list, paving the way for Chris Naggar to serve as the team's kicker in Week 16. McLaughlin has battled through a rough patch over the past four weeks, making […]

Lirim Hajrullahu - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers kicker Lirim Hajrullahu should be benched in Week 16 against Tampa. Starting kicker Zane Gonzalez sustained a quad injury last week and was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve. Hajrullahu could be the starter for the rest of the season as a result. The 31-year-old knocked down all five of his extra-point attempts in […]

Robbie Gould Converts 48-Yard Field Goal In Week 16 Loss

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould converted his lone 48-yard field goal and extra-point attempts during a 20-17 Week 16 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Gould, a 39-year old veteran, has been excellent for the 49ers since returning from IR in Week 9, missing only two of 13 field goal attempts, with both missed attempts […]

Chase McLaughlin - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns kicker Chase McLaughlin has really struggled over the second half of the season, making just two of six field goals over his last four games.

Week 16 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

What a cluster Week 15 was. Not only did fantasy managers have to deal with countless Covid-19 cases, but three games were delayed adding even more intrigue.....or frustration. We haven't even gotten to the actual games yet. You know, the one where the Buccaneers were shut out and Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Leonard Fournette all left […]

Randy Bullock - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock has converted at least two field goals in three of his last five games. The 32-year-old has drilled 22-of-26 field-goal attempts while converting 32-of-35 extra-point tries. Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers has an over/under 40 points, with the Titans having a team-implied total of 20.5. Bullock has scored […]

Nick Folk Still On The Injury Report

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Folk has been on the injury report more often than not this year with a left knee injury, but he hasn't missed any games and has been the most reliable kicker for fantasy in 2021. The matchup against the Buffalo Bills this […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Lands On COVID-19 List

The Houston Texans placed kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn and linebacker Eric Wilson on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Fairbairn is vaccinated, so he'll have a chance to clear the protocols with a negative test to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. Wilson, on the other hand, is unvaccinated, so he'll be out in Week […]

Harrison Butker Out For Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week, is out on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers because he's unvaccinated, according to a source. Elliott Fry is expected to serve as the Chiefs kicker this weekend with Butker unavailable. Butker ranks as the No. 12 kicker in fantasy heading […]
