Greg Zuerlein A Good Kicking Option For Week 2

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is a strong kicking option in Week 2 fantasy lineups. With the Cowboys taking on the Atlanta Falcons in what could be the highest scoring game of the week, Zuerlein should have plenty of chances to kick field goals or tack on extra points. In Week 1, "Greg the Leg" […]

Wil Lutz A Great Starting Option This Week

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz is a great option to start this week. As a member of a high-powered offense, Lutz's work is always steady, and he connected on both of his field goal attempts last week along with kicking in four extra points. Lutz has been a reliable kicking option the past few […]

Younghoe Koo A Solid Starting Option In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a solid starting option for Week 2. Koo connected on both of his field-goal attempts in Week 1, and both were notably from beyond 40 yards. Though he did miss an extra point, Koo should see quite a few kicking opportunities because the Falcons' offense is high-powered. This week's […]

Titans Staying Faithful To Stephen Gostkowski

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said on Tuesday that he expects kicker Stephen Gostkowski to be better than he was in the 16-14 Monday night win over the Broncos, and the team still believes in him after he missed three field goals and an extra point in Week 1. Gostkowski's reputation as one of […]

Bengals To Stick With Randy Bullock

Despite claiming kicker Austin Seibert off waivers from the Browns on Tuesday, the Cincinnati Bengals plan to stick with kicker Randy Bullock (calf) heading into Thursday night's game against Cleveland. Seibert was waived by the Browns after he missed both of his kicks in the Week 1 loss to the Ravens. Bullock suffered a cramp […]

Bengals Claiming Austin Seibert Off Waivers

The Cincinnati Bengals are claiming kicker Austin Seibert off waivers from the Browns on Tuesday, according to sources. Randy Bullock's status is in question for Thursday night against Cleveland, so Seibert could wind up kicking against the team that just cut him in Week 2. Seibert missed a 41-yard field goal and an extra-point attempt […]

Brandon McManus Quiet In Week 1 Loss

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus didn't attempt a single field goal and made both of his extra-point attempts in a 16-14 loss to the Titans on Monday night in Week 1. This game was a defensive battle all the way through. Just signed to a four-year contract extension last weekend, the 29-year-old has one of […]

Browns Release Austin Seibert

The Cleveland Browns released kicker Austin Seibert on Monday. Seibert struggled in the team's Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, missing an extra point and a 40-yard field goal in the contest. The move was expected after Cleveland signed kicker Cody Parkey earlier in the day. Seibert heads to the free-agency bin just a […]

Browns Signing Cody Parkey

The Cleveland Browns are signing kicker Cody Parkey to their 53-man roster on Monday, according to a source. It's a sign that Parkey will kick on Thursday night against the Bengals after Austin Seibert missed both of his attempts -- a 41-yard field-goal attempt and an extra point -- in the Week 1 blowout loss […]

Greg Zuerlein Makes A Field Goal And Two Extra Points

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein made a 33-yard field goal and both of his extra point tries in Sunday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Zuerlein made one field goal try and missed the other. The Cowboys offense overall just didn't seem to click all that well in this one, so Zuerlein should see […]

Wil Lutz Perfect On All Six Kicks

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made both of his field-goal attempts and all four extra points in a 34-23 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1. Lutz enjoyed a solid day as New Orleans recorded six trips into the red zone. The veteran kicker should be able to put up many more […]

Dustin Hopkins Nails Two-Of-Three FG Tries

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins made two field goals in three tries in a win over the Eagles Sunday. Hopkins miss came from 48-yards out but made two shorter kicks including a 40-yarder. Hopkins was also 3-for-3 on extra point attempts. Hopkins has been a consistent contributor in fantasy for years and should be […]

Younghoe Koo Nails Two Field-Goals Against Seattle

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo made both his field-goal attempts and one extra point in a 38-25 Week 1 loss to Seattle. Koo impressively made a pair of 49-yard kicks, showing both the strength and accuracy of his leg. While the missed extra point isn't ideal, it's not enough to damper Koo's good start to […]

Jake Elliott Makes A Field Goal And Two Extra Points

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made a 38-yard field goal and two extra points in a Week 1 loss to the Washington Football Team. Elliott should be a consistent, if somewhat safe kicking option throughout the season, although the Eagles offense looked like a mess at certain points in this one. They'll face the Rams […]

Justin Tucker Makes Them Count In Week 1

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker nailed his only field-goal on Sunday against the Browns, a 41-yard attempt near the end of the first quarter. He also hit all five of his extra-point attempts. With the Ravens' offense continuing to put up points in bunches, the veteran should remain one of the most efficient fantasy kickers […]

49ers/Cardinals Game Will Take Place As Scheduled

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the 49ers and Cardinals game will take place as scheduled on Sunday afternoon despite concerns about the air quality due to fires in the Bay Area.

Broncos Extend Brandon McManus For Four Years

The Denver Broncos are giving kicker Brandon McManus a four-year, $17.2 million contract extension on Friday, including $9.5 million fully guaranteed.

Kevin Stefanski To Call Plays In 2020

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters on Friday that he will call the offensive plays in his first season as head coach, but he'll also work collaboratively with offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. The Browns were a huge disappointment in 2019 under Freddie Kitchens, but Stefanski's vision for Cleveland's 2020 offense is expected […]

Wil Lutz An Excellent Start Against Buccaneers

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz is one of the best fantasy kickers in the business. He'll square off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what could turn into a high-scoring affair. Lutz finished second to only Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker in total points with 147 and made 32 of 36 field goals while missing […]

Younghoe Koo A Great Option In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo makes for a great start against the Seattle Seahawks. Koo missed just three kicks and one extra-point in eight games for the Falcons last year. The 26-year-old is set up nicely here, as the high over/under of this game suggests that there could be a lot of trips to the […]

Joey Slye Best Left On The Bench

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye should be left on the bench for this week's matchup against the Raiders. Las Vegas ranked 19th in points allowed to kickers last season, making them a generally tough matchup for the position. Slye also went 25 of 32 on field goal attempts last season, good for 78.1 percent. It's […]

Ryan Succop Should Be Avoided In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop should be avoided in the Week 1 matchup against the Saints. New Orleans allowed the eighth-fewest points to the position last year, and it will be the kicker's first game with a new team, as he just signed with Tampa a week ago. Last season, Succop only appeared in […]

Eddy Pineiro On IR, Cairo Santos Expected To Start In Week 1

The Chicago Bears placed kicker Eddy Pineiro (groin) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, and Cairo Santos is now expected to be the starting kicker in Week 1 against the Lions.

Rodrigo Blankenship Wins Colts Kicker Job

Rookie kicker Rodrigo Blankenship has beaten out Chase McLaughlin in the competition to be the kicker for the Indianapolis Colts. McLaughlin reportedly had a strong camp, but Blankenship's college resume helped him win the role, leading to the team releasing McLaughlin. Blankenship was a career 82.5 percent kicker in college and made all 200 of […]

Jake Elliott Coming Off The Most Accurate Season Of His Career

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott had the most accurate season of his career in 2019, converting 35 of his 37 extra-point attempts and 84.6% of his field-goal kicks. The issue was that he saw the fewest attempts of his career, limiting his overall numbers. Still, his accuracy was an impressive trait, and in a season […]

Greg Zuerlein A Solid Kicker In A Solid Offense

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein should be a solid kicking option all season and is ranked as a top-five kicker for Week 1 against his former team, the Los Angeles Rams. Zuerlein has had some accuracy issues popping up lately like they did earlier in his career, but the Cowboys offense provides tons of kicking […]
