Brandon McManus Perfect On His Kicks In Week 8

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus made all four of his extra-point attempts and connected on his only field-goal try from 35 yards out in the team's 31-30 Week 8 win over the division-rival Chargers. McManus has made 93.3 percent of his 15 field-goal attempts in 2020, but he's been an inconsistent fantasy streamer because of […]

Cardinals Have Two Positive COVID-19 Tests

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury confirmed on Monday that the team had two positive COVID-19 tests over the weekend. The Cardinals were on bye this week, but players were required to come into the team's facility for testing every morning. Kingsbury said that contact tracing turned up "limited" results and all tests on Sunday […]

Jake Elliott Makes An Extra Point And Nothing Else

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made his lone extra point attempt in a Week 8 win, and was not on the field for anything else. The Eagles did not attempt any field goals, and only attempted an extra point on one of their touchdowns, opting to go for two otherwise. It was a one-point performance […]

Greg Zuerlein Makes Three Field Goals In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein did all of the scoring for the Cowboys in Week 8, making three field goals in a 23-9 loss to the Eagles. Zuerlein made three of his four field goal attempts in this one, making kicks from 49, 49, and 59 yards. His miss came from 52 yards. It was […]

Nick Folk Kicks Two Field Goals In Loss

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk has surprisingly been a decent fantasy option over the last few weeks. In Week 8, Folk connected on both his field goal attempts in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. Folk accounted for seven of the 21 points that the Pats scored in this game. He should remain a […]

Two Cardinals Players Test Positive For COVID-19

Two Arizona Cardinals players tested positive for COVID-19 during the team's bye week. The team's facility has been closed for deep cleaning. The team is expected to practice on Monday. It's too early to know if this puts next week's Cardinals/Dolphins game is in jeopardy, but it's something worth monitoring.

Sam Ficken Inactive, Sergio Castillo To Kick

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken (groin) is out for the team's Week 8 meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. Sergio Castillo will serve as the kicker. Against this Chiefs team, the Jets shouldn't have many scoring chances, so there's no reason to rush out and pick up Castillo to be your fantasy kicker.

Mason Crosby Will Play Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby (calf/back) will play on Sunday against the Vikings. Crosby is a reliable kicker who has made all nine of his field goal attempts this season, though there's reason to be worried about starting a kicker in fantasy who isn't at 100 percent this week. Factor in that most of […]

Week 8 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

We’ve made it to Week 8. Everyone pour one out because the NFL season is nearly half over. We’ve seen more injuries to star players than I think we’ve ever come across before. Defenses continue to struggle to stop opposing offenses, and kickers are benefiting in a massive way thus far. We’ve now seen back-to-back […]

Ryan Succop A Good Play Against Giants

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop makes for a good play in a Week 8 matchup against the New York Giants. Succop has made at least five kicks in four straight games and has at least five extra points in two straight. There's no reason to doubt Tampa Bay's offense against the Giants, even though […]

Brandon McManus On The Streaming Radar In Week 8

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus never had a chance to deliver for fantasy managers in Week 7 against the Chiefs in snowy conditions. A week after being the hero with six made field goals against the Patriots, McManus made one field goal and went 1-for-2 on extra points. In a Broncos offense that has been […]

Mason Crosby Questionable For Week 8

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby (back, calf) and offensive tackle David Bakhtiari (chest) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Vikings. Crosby at least got in a limited practice on Friday, giving him a chance to suit up this Sunday in the divisional matchup. But he's in danger of missing the […]

Sam Ficken Could Miss Another Game

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken (groin) will test his injured groin in practice on Friday, but he's in danger of missing his second straight game in Week 8 against the Chiefs. If Ficken can't play, Sergio Castillo would be elevated from the practice squad to play this Sunday. Ficken has made nine of his […]

Joey Slye Makes Three Kicks In Loss To Falcons

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye made one field goal and a pair of extra points in a 25-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Slye didn't get many opportunities in this one, as Carolina made just one trip to the red zone against a surprisingly resurgent Falcons' defense. There's not much that a kicker can do […]

Mason Crosby Misses Second Straight Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby (calf, back) was held out of practice Thursday for the second consecutive day, which may force Green Bay to get creative Sunday against Minnesota at the kicking position. Crosby has been the team's kicker for every game since Week 1 of the 2007 season, continuing to excel this year […]

Chargers Player Tests Positive For COVID-19

The Los Angeles Chargers had a player test positive for COVID-19, and that player and all of his close contacts have been told to stay home and isolate, according to sources. The Chargers were informed of this on Wednesday night. The facility is open on Thursday, but all meetings will be virtual. The Chargers are […]

Jason Myers Is A Streaming Option Against 49ers

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers hasn't been the top fantasy option at the kicker position this season, but he's certainly been on the streaming radar because of the offense he's in. He's playing with one of the best offenses in football, and they're giving him plenty of opportunities to score. However, this week he could […]

Younghoe Koo A Great Starter For Week 8

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a solid start this week against the Panthers. On the season, Koo has gone 15-for-16 on field goals, including going 4-for-4 just two weeks ago. He also has gone 13-for-15 in extra points. The Panthers offer a favorable matchup for kickers, so Koo is a great player to start.

Joey Slye A Decent Option

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye faces a decent matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8 on Thursday night. Slye has made at least three field goals in two of his last three games and faces an Atlanta defense that has allowed an average of about eight fantasy points per game to opposing kickers. There are […]

Wil Lutz A Solid Play In Week 8

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz is a solid play this week against a Bears team allowing the seventh-most points to fantasy kickers. Lutz has gone 11-for-11 in field goals and 21-for-21 in extra points this season, meaning he is one of the most reliable players at his position. The kicker is a great play […]

Greg Zuerlein Not A Starting Option In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 8. Despite going up against an Eagles team that doesn't particularly limit opposing kickers, Zuerlein will certainly be limited by his own team's offense. Andy Dalton (concussion) already wasn't doing much, and now seventh-round rookie Ben DiNucci may be the one in […]

Jake Elliott Not A Great Option For Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott won't make for a great fantasy option in Week 8 lineups despite what is predicted to be a high-scoring game against the Dallas Cowboys. Elliott has been a solid kicker in previous years, but this season he's only made eight of his 12 field goal attempts and 11 extra points. […]

Texans Close Facility Due To Positive COVID-19 Test

The Houston Texans will close their facility on Wednesday due to a player testing positive for COVID-19, according to a source. They are testing all other players, but the good news is that the Texans are currently on their bye week. With an extra week to get everything sorted out and to allow the necessary […]

Rams Waiving Samuel Sloman

The Los Angeles Rams are waiving rookie kicker Samuel Sloman on Tuesday. Sloman connected on all three of his extra points in the Monday night win over the Bears but had one of his two field-goal tries blocked. He hadn't seen enough volume (11 field-goal attempts) this year in the Rams offense in seven games […]

Samuel Sloman Has A Quiet Game Monday

Los Angeles Rams kicker Samuel Sloman needed to put together a strong performance in Week 7, but he still couldn't quite get the job done against the Chicago Bears on Monday night. He went just one of two on his field goals, and his miss was even blocked. The Rams brought in veteran Kai Forbath […]

Brandon McManus Attempts One Field Goal In Week 7

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus made his lone field-goal try from 43 yards out in the 43-16 blowout loss to the Chiefs on Sunday in the snow. The 29-year-old strong-legged booter disappointed any fantasy managers that picked up him up off the waiver wire and started him after he made all six of his field […]

Tyler Bass Attempts Eight Field Goals

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass was a busy man during the Week 7 win over the New York Jets. In fact, Bass resulted in all 18 of the Bills points on offense in this game. He connected on six of his eight field goals attempts in this one. His longest field goal of the day […]

Michael Badgley Remains Chargers Kicker For Week 8

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley missed both a field goal and extra point during Sunday's win over Jacksonville -- marking the second straight week that it occurred -- but head coach Anthony Lynn made it clear that Badgley would be the team's kicker for Sunday versus Denver. Badgley has yet to miss a kick […]
