Jake Elliott Misses His Only Field Goal Try In Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott put up a goose egg in Week 6, missing his only field goal attempt and not even getting a chance to kick an extra point. With the Eagles playing from behind all day, the team went for two point conversions after their scores. Wrapping up the first half, Elliott attempted […]
Joey Slye Makes Three Field-Goals And An Extra-Point
Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye stayed hot in a tight loss to the Chicago Bears. Slye made at least three field-goals for the second consecutive game and fourth time this season, including a 48-yarder. The 24-year-old has missed a few kicks here and there, but for the most part, he's been very solid for Carolina […]
Jon Brown Not A Fantasy Asset In NFL Debut Sunday
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Jon Brown will be making his NFL debut Sunday, marking the fifth different kicker than the team has utilized already in 2020. Having previously served as a kickoff specialist with Cincinnati, Brown has not attempted an in-game field goal during the regular season, thereby making him the riskiest of options from a […]

Week 6 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
This NFL season continues to be the weirdest one that I’ve seen in my lifetime. I’ve seen teams come out and get embarrassed by bottom dwellers, and I just watched Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins absolutely dismantled the San Francisco 49ers. If you ever think that you’re going to be able to accurately predict […]

Ryan Succop Faces Tough Matchup
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop faces a tough matchup in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. Succop took advantage of a favorable matchup against the Bears last week, making all four field-goals and an extra-point. It won't be so easy this week, as the Packers have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game […]
Drew Lock Questionable Against Patriots
Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) practiced in full all week but is still listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Patriots. We'd say Lock is on the right side of questionable after getting in full practices this week. The second-year QB has been out since he was injured in Week 2, but it's […]
Patriots Cancel Practice After Another Positive COVID-19 Test
The New England Patriots are canceling their practice on Friday after a positive COVID-19 test, according to a source. There is also a second test that they are awaiting to confirm as a positive. This now puts the team's Week 6 matchup with the Broncos in doubt after it was already moved back from the […]
Colts-Bengals On Schedule For Sunday
The Indianapolis Colts COVID-19 tests have come back clean and their game against the Bengals in Week 6 on Sunday remains on schedule, according to owner Jim Irsay. Indianapolis was forced to close their practice facilities on Friday after several positive COVID-19 tests. They were the first COVID-19 issues the Colts had experienced since initial […]
Falcons Cleared To Reopen Facilities
The Atlanta Falcons have been cleared by the league to reopen their facilities on Friday, according to a source. The Falcons held virtual workouts on Thursday after a positive COVID-19 test, but the result was to an assistant coach and not a player, so the team was taking all precautions. The Falcons had zero new […]
Colts Shut Down Practice Facility After Positive COVID Tests
On Friday morning, the Indianapolis Colts released a statement claiming that several individuals in their organization tested positive for COVID-19. The team has closed their practice facility while they work on confirming the tests. According to sources in Indianapolis, the team is acting with extra caution and their game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday […]
Greg Zuerlein A Good Choice For Week 6 Lineups
Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is a good choice for Week 6 fantasy lineups, coming in ranked in the top-half of K1s. Zuerlein has made eight of his nine field goal tries and 13 of his 15 extra point tries. While the two missed extra points may stand out, it's likely a flukey small sample […]
Joey Slye A Must-Start In Week 6
Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye is in a great spot to succeed in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. Slye has made nine field-goals and six extra-points in his last three games and faces a Bears Defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers. There may not be very many points scored […]
Jake Elliott Likely Not A Top-12 Option At Kicker
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is likely not a top-12 fantasy option in a Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Eagles offense has been struggling to move the ball and will face their toughest challenge yet in the Ravens Defense. Elliott has been solid when given the chance to kick, making seven of […]
Falcons-Vikings Game Still On For Sunday
As of right now, the game between the Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in Week 6 remains on schedule. A Falcons assistant coach was confirmed positive for COVID-19 this morning. Atlanta had the option to return to their facilities but decided to go virtual all day as a precaution. The plan is for […]
Samuel Sloman Could Be Streaming Option In Week 6
Los Angeles Rams kicker Samuel Sloman has been a solid but unspectacular kicker to start the year, but he'll be in streaming consideration in deeper leagues in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers just gave up 43 points to the Miami Dolphins in Week 5, and they've been beaten up by good […]
Younghoe Koo A Solid Starting Option In Week 6
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a solid starting option in Week 6. Koo went 3-for-3 last week in field goals, booting in one from over 40 yards and another from over 50. The Vikings allow the most points to fantasy kickers, so this is one of the best weeks to start Koo.
Jon Brown Becomes Jaguars Fifth Kicker Of Season
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Jon Brown will be the fifth kicker used by the team this year when he attempts a field goal or extra point in Week 6 against the Lions on Sunday. The Jaguars will become the first team in NFL history to have a different player attempt a field goal or PAT in […]
Patriots Return To Facility Wednesday, Eye Thursday Practice
The New England Patriots are slated to make their return to the field Sunday against Denver, but the first step in that process is getting back to the team’s facility, which is expected to happen Wednesday. But despite their presence there, New England isn’t slated to practice, with that first time back out penciled in […]
Wil Lutz Makes Game-Winning Field Goal In Overtime
New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made three field goals on Monday night, including the eventual game-winning kick in overtime to help lead his team to a 30-27 victory. Lutz is a perfect 9-for-9 on field goals and 18 of 18 on extra points and has been about as dependable as a kicker can be. […]
Patriots, Chiefs Have No New Positive COVID-19 Tests
The New England Patriots had no new positive COVID-19 tests from Monday's round of testing, and they are planning to return to the practice field on Wednesday. The Kansas City Chiefs also had no new positives from Monday's round of COVID-19 testing. Both Patriots quarterback Cam Newton and cornerback Stephon Gilmore tested positive before the […]
Bills-Titans Game On For Tuesday Night
The Tennessee Titans had zero new positive COVID-19 tests from Monday's round of testing, meaning their game against the Buffalo Bills will go on as planned on Tuesday night. The Titans have had more than 20 player and personnel test positive for COVID-19 since their Week 3 win over the Viking, which forced the league […]
Jacksonville Releases Stephen Hauschka After Rough Week 5
The Jacksonville Jaguars released kicker Stephen Hauschka on Monday after he missed both field-goal attempts that he had in Sunday’s loss to Houston. The team brought in Jon Brown as their new kicker, marking the fifth different kicker that will start for the Jaguars this season. Having been a full-time kicker since 2011 with Seattle […]
Adam Gase Could Give Up Play-Calling Duties
New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said he's considering giving up play-calling duties after the team's 0-5 start for the first time since 1996. "I don't think I'm ever opposed to try something to change things up. I'd say everything is on the table at this point," Gase said. The Jets have scored more […]
Falcons Fire Dan Quinn; Raheem Morris The Interim Coach
The Atlanta Falcons fired head coach Dan Quinn on Sunday night. Quinn becomes the second head coach in a week to be fired, with the Texans axing head coach Bill O'Brien last week. Raheem Morris will take over as the interim head coach for the 0-5 team after Quinn's dismissal. Morris was the head coach […]
Jason Myers Is Quiet In Week 5
Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers continued to be perfect to start the year in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings, but he's still not a great option for fantasy. He went 3-for-3 on his extra-point attempts, but he wasn't able to get any field-goal shots in the rainy weather. Myers is beginning to become more […]
