Chris Boswell Out With Concussion

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns. Punter Pressley Harvin will serve as the kicker for the rest of the game, but don't expect to see the team kick very much, if at all. The team has already chosen to go for two […]

Chris Boswell Questionable To Return

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell is being evaluated for a concussion after taking a hit on a fake field goal. If Boswell is unable to return, punter Pressley Harvin will take over kicking duties, but expect the Steelers to look to free agency for a Boswell replacement if he is concussed and has to miss […]

Week 8 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

With all the byes across the league last week, fantasy managers should have been expecting some crazy outcomes. In that sense, it did not disappoint. When the Sunday games were done, the top-three kickers were Austin Seibert of the Detroit Lions, Graham Gano of the New York Giants, and Nick Folk of the New England […]

Matt Nagy Won't Coach Sunday Against 49ers

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy remains in quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19 on Monday and will not coach in Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

Randy Bullock - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock has made his last five field-goal attempts and is 11-of-12 in extra-point tries over his previous three games. The 31-year-old has converted 13-of-15 field-goal attempts, including one from 50-yards plus over seven games in 2021. Sunday's game between the Indianapolis Colts and Titans features a high-over under of 51 points. […]

Zane Gonzalez - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez is only a low-end streaming option in Week 8 against Atlanta. Gonzalez has gone 9-for-11 in field goals and 12-for-13 in extra points this season. Nevertheless, the offense has been struggling a lot in the past few weeks, meaning the kicker's opportunities may be low. The Falcons are also stingy […]

Chris Blewitt - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team kicker Chris Blewitt is a low-end option in Week 8 as he has not proven himself to be a viable starter just yet, missing one of his field goals in Week 7 and only making one extra point. The Washington offense has struggled to move the ball downfield in recent weeks, so […]

Brandon McManus - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

As the Denver Broncos offense goes, so does kicker Brandon McManus. The strong-legged kicker was a fantasy rock in the first three weeks when Denver was beating up on weak opponents. But during their four-game losing streak against better competition, McManus and the Broncos offense have struggled to move the ball consistently. As such, the […]

Chase McLaughlin - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns kicker Chase McLaughlin has been excellent in 2021, making 10 of his 11 field goals and all 17 of his extra points through seven games. McLaughlin will kick against the Pittsburgh Steelers at home in Week 8 in what sets up as a plus matchup for the veteran. The Steelers have been generous […]

Younghoe Koo - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a strong option against the Panthers in Week 8. Koo has gone 10-for-10 in field goals and 13-for-13 in extra points this season and has been one of the most reliable fantasy kicker options. The Panthers are average against fantasy kickers and Koo's role on a Falcons offense that […]

Chris Boswell - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell will take on the Cleveland Browns on the road in Week 8. Boswell has been very accurate thus far in 2021, hitting 11 of his 12 field goals and all 12 of his extra-point attempts in six games. The Browns represent a tough matchup for Boswell as they are allowing […]

Greg Joseph - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph has been one of the more productive players at the position this season, ranking fifth in points per game in 2021. In what should be a close game against the Dallas Cowboys with an over/under of 55.5, Joseph should once again be busy. Joseph enters Week 8 action as the […]

Jake Elliott - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott remains firmly off the fantasy radar for Week 8. Elliott did not even attempt a field goal in Week 7 and continues to be one of the lowest volume kickers in the NFL. He's finished in the top-15 of fantasy kickers only once so far this season and should be […]

Greg Zuerlein - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is a worthwhile starter in fantasy lineups for Week 8. The Cowboys travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings, meaning Zuerlein will be kicking indoors as part of this elite Dallas offense. The Vikings defense has been solid so far this season and could cause some Cowboys drives to […]

Matt Gay - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay has one of the best jobs in the NFL this season, and that will continue in Week 8 against the Houston Texans. His offense is able to move the ball nearly at will against all opponents, and they give him plenty of scoring opportunities. The Texans have given up […]

Rams Defense Is A Great Option In Week 8

The Los Angeles Rams defense is riding a hot streak that should continue into Week 8 against the Houston Texans. Since scoring 51 points in their first six quarters of football this year, the Texans have scored just 44 points in the 22 quarters since while turning the ball over at least once in five […]

Jason Myers - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers was one of the safest fantasy options a season ago, but he no longer has that status heading into Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Myers is just 6-for-10 on field goals this year, and he's 24-for-29 on kicking opportunities overall. He has yet to hit double-digit fantasy points in […]

Mason Crosby - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby is 12-for-16 in field-goal attempts, and 18-of-19 in extra-point tries over seven games this season. The over/under for Thursday's game against the Arizona Cardinals is 51.5, and the Packers kicker should have plenty of opportunities to rack up points in a projected high-scoring affair. However, Arizona ranks first against […]

Chargers Sign Dustin Hopkins, Cut Tristan Vizcaino

The Los Angeles Chargers signed free agent kicker Dustin Hopkins to a contract on Tuesday. He was released by the Washington Football Team last week and ultimately landed in Los Angeles. The 31-year-old was 12-for-14 on his field-goal tries and 10-for-12 on extra points through the first six games of this season. Hopkins should see […]

Wil Lutz Done For The Season

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz (groin) announced on Tuesday that he suffered a setback in his recovery and will shift his focus to being fully healthy for the 2022 season, meaning he will miss the remainder of the 2021 campaign. Brian Johnson made both of his field goals on Monday night in Seattle, one […]

Randy Bullock Drills Both Field-Goal Attempts In Week 7

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock converted both his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. He made both of his attempts from 24 and 51 yards out. The 31-year-old has now converted 13 of 15 field-goal attempts, including one from 50-plus yards, and he […]

Jason Myers Struggles In Week 7

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers was a locked-in starting kicker a season ago, but it's become clear this year that he's become unreliable for fantasy managers, especially following his performance in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. With the brutal weather at home, Myers went just 1-for-3 on field goals and […]

Graham Gano Converts Three Field Goals In Week 7 Win

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano converted all three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Carolina Panthers. The 34-year-old drilled all three of his attempts from 49, 53 and 44 yards out. He currently leads the NFL in field-goal attempts (17) and is 5-for-6 in attempts from […]

Joey Slye Converts Both Field Goal Attempts In Week 7 Loss

San Francisco kicker Joey Slye converted both field-goal attempts, including a 56-yarder, after missing the team's lone extra-point attempt during a 30-18 Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Making a long field goal in the wet conditions was one of the most impressive feats for the 49ers in a game where they struggled to […]

Matt Nagy Tests Positive For COVID-19

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy announced that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and will enter the league's quarantine protocols. Four other Bears players are also on the COVID-19 list heading into a Week 8 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. They all need to provide two negative tests in order to be cleared […]

Michael Badgley Converts 42-Yard Field Goal In Week 7 Win

Indianapolis Colts kicker Michael Badgley converted a 42-yard field goal and all three extra-point attempts during the team's 30-18 Week 7 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Signed in relief of injured second-year kicker Rodrigo Blankenship, Badgley overcame the rainy elements of the game to keep the Colts comfortably ahead of the 49ers with seven […]
