Week 5 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Fantasy managers saw seven kickers who failed to even score five points and another seven kickers who managed to score in the double-digits. Unfortunately for myself, two of those sub-five kickers were on my streamers to target list. A bad week for the streamer picks, but slightly better on the busts. I did, however, stay […]

Nick Folk Questionable For Week 5

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. The veteran kicker has played through a knee issue in recent weeks and is expected to suit up on Sunday. He's converted 10-of-11 field goals while drilling 5-of-5 extra-point tries over four games this season. Folk can be […]

Cody Parkey - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints kicker Cody Parkey shouldn't be in starting lineups this week. The veteran kicker just joined the team this week after it released Aldrick Rosas and shouldn't be trusted right away in a new offense. Parkey has been kind of streaky his entire career and went 19-for-22 in field goals and 43-for-47 in […]

Zane Gonzalez Doesn't Have Much Upside

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez will take on the Eagles in Week 5. Gonzalez has made 3 of 5 field goals and 9 of 10 extra points through four weeks of play. The 26-year-old has a decent floor but doesn't possess the upside of other kickers in better matchups. The Eagles have allowed the seventh-fewest […]

Daniel Carlson Looking To Bounce Back In Week 5

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson is looking for a bounce-back game in Week 5 against the visiting Chicago Bears. The 26-year-old entered Week 4 as one of fantasy football's top kickers but missed his one field goal attempt in Vegas' 28-14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite not having his best stuff against […]

Dustin Hopkins An Unreliable Option

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins is not a reliable option heading into Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints. Hopkins made his only field goal in Week 4, but he converted on just one of three extra-point attempts. Washington just signed kicker Chris Blewitt to their practice squad, likely signifying that their trust in […]

Brandon McManus Hard To Trust With Uncertain QB Situation

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus has one of the strongest legs in the league and enters a Week 5 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers as the No. 7 kicker in terms of overall fantasy points. However, he's an extremely shaky streaming option for this weekend with Denver's quarterback situation up in the air. The Broncos […]

Chris Boswell Tough To Trust In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell has made six of seven field goals and all seven of his extra points through the first four games of the season. Boswell draws a tough Week 5 matchup against the Denver Broncos at home this Sunday. The Broncos are allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing kickers, […]

Younghoe Koo Should Have Solid Day Against Jets

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo could be busy in a Week 5 matchup against the Jets in London. Koo has made all five field goals and all seven extra points this year- though he has yet to attempt more than two field goals or three point-after attempts in a game this year. That lack of […]

Greg Zuerlein A Week 5 Fantasy Option

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein should be a solid fantasy option most weeks as long as the Cowboys offense can keep clicking as well as they have. While "Greg the Leg" may not have quite "the leg" anymore in terms of distance, he's still a consistent, accurate kicker and hasn't missed a field goal try […]

Jake Elliott Not An Exciting Option For Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is not an exciting fantasy option for Week 5 lineups. Elliott finished as the overall K6 in Week 4, but averaged a K25 finish through the first three weeks. He's a low-volume kicker who can't make long kicks, making him a guy who should stay on almost every league's waiver […]

Chase McLaughlin A Top-12 Kicker In Week 5

Cleveland Browns kicker Chase McLaughlin has gotten off to an excellent start with his new team in 2021. McLaughlin has made all seven of his field goals, including going 3-for-3 from 50 yards or more. He will look to remain perfect when he heads on the road to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in […]

Giants Have The Worst Red-Zone Offense

The New York Giants 33.3 percent red-zone touchdown percentage is the worst in the NFL through four weeks of the season. Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett's play-calling in the red area continues to leave a lot to be desired. The Giants like to feature tight ends Evan Engram and Kyle Rudolph near the end zone, but […]

Jason Myers Could Have A Big Game In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has been quiet so far this season, but he could be in for a big Week 5 against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams style of defense is to allow yardage while locking down in the red zone. They've allowed over 400 yards of offense in each of their last […]

Matt Gay Should Score Well In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay is the fifth overall kicker after four weeks, and he has a great matchup in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks to help him move up the ranks. The Seahawks defense has allowed 21 or more points in each of their last three games, and the Rams offense is […]

Robbie Gould Goes On IR, 49ers Sign Joey Slye

The San Francisco 49ers placed kicker Robbie Gould (groin) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed Joey Slye to kick in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to a source. Gould strained his groin before the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and will now be out for at least three games. The […]

Wil Lutz To Miss A Couple More Weeks

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz (core) will likely miss a couple more weeks with a core muscle injury. Lutz, who already missed the beginning of training camp due to a groin injury, sustained the core ailment during the preseason. The one-time Pro Bowler has been as reliable as they come, as he has never […]

Saints Release Aldrick Rosas, Sign Cody Parkey

New Orleans Saints kicker Aldrick Rosas has been released by the team Tuesday. New Orleans has elected to sign free-agent kicker Cody Parkey, who worked out with the club Tuesday afternoon. Rosas had missed his last three field-goal attempts, drawing the ire of head coach Sean Payton. Parkey, who made the Pro Bowl as a […]

Randy Bullock Tallies 10 Points In Week 4 Loss

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock made 3-of-4 field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the New York Jets. He connected from 44, 46, and 36 yards out in Sunday's loss. The 31-year-old missed a crucial game-tying kick from 49 yards out with 19 seconds left in the game. Bullock […]

Graham Gano Hits Two Of Three Field Goals In Week 4

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano converted two of three field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 26-20 win over the New Orleans Saints. On Sunday, he missed his first field goal of the season when he missed wide left on a 35-yard attempt in the first quarter. The 34-year-old later made his […]

Robbie Gould To Miss Some Time With Groin Injury

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould (groin) will "miss some time" with a groin injury. Gould strained his groin in the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and could be a candidate to land on Injured Reserve, which would require him to miss at least three games. The good news is that the 49ers […]

Matt Gay Misses A Kick In Week 4

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay had yet to miss a kicking opportunity entering Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals, but that came to an end when he missed a field-goal try from 46 yards out in the third quarter. Gay had a total of five opportunities to score, and he went 4-for-5. The 46-yarder […]

Ryan Succop Nails Five Kicks Sunday Night

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop made 4 of 5 field goals and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's victory over the Patriots. Succop was busy on a night where the Patriots defense kept Tom Brady out of the end zone, as he made kicks from the 20-29 yard range and the 40-49 yard range, […]

Brandon McManus, Broncos Offense Falls Flat

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus came into the Week 4 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens as a weekly starting option in fantasy. At the end of the day, though, things didn't look pretty in the 23-7 loss. With the Broncos offense going nowhere in the second half after quarterback Drew Lock replaced a concussed Teddy […]

Chris Boswell Makes 52-Yard FG In Loss

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made his lone field goal, a 52-yarder, in a 27-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 4. Boswell also tacked on two extra points in the loss. The veteran kicker has been rather accurate through the first four games, hitting six of seven field goals and all seven […]

Tyler Bass Connects On Four Kicks In Win

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass saw plenty of work during the Week 4 matchup with the Houston Texans. He went 4-for-4 on field goal attempts and finished with 16 points by himself in this contest. The Bills went on to win this game in blowout fashion by a 40-0 shutout. Despite that, Bass looked sharp […]

Jake Elliott Makes Three Field Goals And Three Extra Points

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all three of his field goal tries and all three of his extra point attempts in a Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Elliott did basically everything right in this one, making field goals from 29, 25, and 31 yards out. That's Elliott's sweet spot, as he […]

Aldrick Rosas Makes Three Extra Points, Misses Field Goal

New Orleans Saints kicker Aldrick Rosas made all three extra points but missed his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's loss to the Giants. Rosas benefited from New Orleans' solid offensive day, though his fantasy line would have been better had he connected on a 58-yarder in the first half. The veteran kicker has been excellent […]
