Matthew Stafford, Matt Prater Questionable For Saturday

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib, thumb), kicker Matt Prater (back) and center Frank Ragnow (throat) are all questionable for Week 16 against the Buccaneers on Saturday. All three players were limited in practice on Friday. Stafford was limited all week and should continue to play through the pain. He hasn't missed a single start […]

Brandon McManus To Return Against Chargers

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday and will be available to kick in Week 16 against the Chargers after sitting out the Week 15 loss to the Bills. Taylor Russolino, who filled in for McManus last week, will head back to the practice squad. McManus made all four […]

Darrell Bevell Won't Coach On Saturday

Detroit Lions interim head coach Darrell Bevell, who was deemed a high-risk close contact of someone who tested positive for COVID-19, will not coach the team in Week 16 on Saturday against the Buccaneers, according to sources. Bevell will be the first head coach to miss a game this year due to COVID-19 protocols. Wide […]

Jake Elliott Not An Option For Week 16 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is not a good option for Week 16 fantasy lineups. Elliott hasn't seen any kind of volume near what would be needed for a consistent fantasy kicker. Last week, he kicked two extra points and nothing else, not even attempting a field goal. He's finished as a top-15 fantasy kicker […]

Greg Zuerlein Just An Average Option In Week 16

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is a decent option for a Week 16 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. He's ranked somewhere around the K15 for fantasy championship week. Zuerlein hasn't been able to do much with longer kicking opportunities this season, going just 2-for-8 on field goal tries from over 50 yards out. He's 27-for-34 […]

Ryan Succop An Upside Play In Week 16

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop is in a good spot heading into a Week 16 matchup with the Detroit Lions. Succop has quietly had a strong season, as he's on pace to break Matt Bryant's team record of 131 points in a season. The Lions have played kickers well this season, but the over/under […]

Wil Lutz A Strong Starting Option

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz is a fine starting option this week. Though he has missed his last three field-goal attempts, they were all from beyond 40 yards. Overall, the kicker has gone 20-for-25 in field goals and 47-for-47 in extra-point attempts this season, so he is very reliable. The Vikings allow the fourth-most […]

Randy Bullock Ruled Inactive For Monday’s Game

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Randy Bullock was named as an inactive prior to kickoff Monday against Pittsburgh, paving the way for Austin Seibert to serve as the team's kicker. Bullock has struggled mightily as of late, having made just two of his last five field goal attempts. With six missed kicks on the year (which includes […]

Panthers Fire General Manager Marty Hurney

The Carolina Panthers fired general manager Marty Hurney on Monday, according to a source informed of the situation. Owner David Tepper said he respected Hurney's traditional style, but he wants to shift to a modern, data-driven process the football operations office. First-year head coach Matt Rhule will play a role in the hiring of the […]

Graham Gano Makes Two Field-Goals In Sunday Night Loss

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano made both of his field-goal tries in a loss to the Browns on Sunday Night Football. Gano did not attempt an extra-point. Gano made kicks from 37, and 39 yards away as he hasn't missed a kick this season from inside 50-yards. Despite the quality kicking, Gano remains a […]

Jake Elliott Makes Two Extra Points In Week 15

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott did not even have a chance to kick a field goal in a Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He did get two chances to kick extra points, making both of those. In most formats, that gave Elliott just two fantasy points. He's kicking at far too low a […]

Younghoe Koo Makes Five Kicks In Loss

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo made both field goals and all three extra points in a 31-27 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Koo bounced back from a bit of a down performance in his last game. The 26-year-old has made at least two field goals in every game but two, solidifying himself as a […]

Dustin Hopkins Has Quiet Day Versus Seahawks

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins had a silent afternoon against the Seahawks, only attempting two kicks. Hopkins missed an extra-point and made his lone field-goal try from 48 yards away. Hopkins has been a decent kicking option this year, but Washington's offense was ineffective moving the ball most of the day with Dwayne Haskins […]

Greg Zuerlein Makes Two Field Goals And Five Extra Points

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein made all five of his extra points in a Week 15 win, adding two field goals on three attempts. Zuerlein's field goals came from 48 and 46 yards out, with his lone miss coming from an ambitious 60 yards away. Zuerlein has proven himself to be a solid NFL kicker […]

Taylor Russolino Predictably Fails Against Bills

Denver Broncos kicker Taylor Russolino, who most recently kicked in the XFL, was forced to make his NFL debut on Saturday against the Bills with regular kicker Brandon McManus still on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

There had been much activity from New York in the kicking game throughout the week, with Chase McLaughlin having been claimed off of waivers and […]

Wil Lutz Could Have Rebound Effort In Week 15

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz could bounce back against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. Lutz has missed all three field goals in his last two games, though he's made all 44 extra points this year, which has given him a nice floor. This week could present a ceiling game for Lutz's fantasy […]

Graham Gano An Unappealing Option In Week 15

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano has had a solid season, making 96.1 percent of his kicks, with his lone miss coming from 50-plus yards out. Despite the quality kicking from the Florida State product, he'll be a risky option in Week 15 against the Browns. New York has struggled to move the ball in […]

Younghoe Koo An Elite Play

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is red-hot heading into a matchup with the Buccaneers in Week 15. If his status as the No. 1 kicker in fantasy football wasn't enough, Koo has now made 18 field goals in a row and 11 straight extra points. The 26-year-old is on fire and needs to be started […]

Matt Gay Is A Solid Option For Week 15

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay left the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the offseason, and he's found a nice home with the Rams this year. He's made all of his extra-point attempts since joining the team four weeks ago and he's 6-for-8 on his field-goal attempts. The Rams will have no problem scoring points against […]

Jason Myers A Low-End Streaming Option

Heading into Week 15, Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers remains in the same category that he's been in all year against the Washington Football Team. His team remains efficient in the red zone, which results in fewer field-goal opportunities, but he gets plenty of chances to score extra points. You're rarely going to get a […]

Brandon McManus Needs To Be Avoided

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus shouldn't be in any starting fantasy lineups this weekend for a Week 15 matchup against the Bills on Saturday. McManus landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week as a high-risk close contact of someone outside the organization that tested positive for the virus. The 29-year-old could still be cleared […]

Donovan Smith Put On COVID-19 List, Ryan Succop Activated

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed left tackle Donovan Smith on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday and removed kicker Ryan Succop, punter Bradley Pinion and long snapper Zach Triner from the list in corresponding moves. Smith will now be unavailable to play in Week 15 against the Falcons, which is bad news for quarterback Tom Brady. […]

Buccaneers Kickers Should Be Avoided

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have put Ryan Succop on the COVID list and the kicker's status for Week 15 remains in question. If he cannot go, Greg Joseph from the practice squad will take the role of the kicker. Joseph has played two seasons in the NFL with the Browns and Titans and has gone […]

Chase Edmonds, Zane Gonzalez Miss Practice Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ankle) and kicker Zane Gonzalez (back) didn't practice on Wednesday. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that Edmonds would be a game-time decision in Week 15 against the Eagles on Sunday. Edmonds has had fantasy relevance behind Kenyan Drake this year with 751 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns, and he's […]

Joey Slye A Risky Start

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye is a risky start this week against the Packers. On the season, the kicker has gone 26-for-33 in field-goal attempts along with 29-for-31 in extra-point attempts. The Packers are tough against fantasy kickers, making Slye an overall riskier option this week. He's a low-end starter, but there are certainly better […]
