Greg Zuerlein Hits From 47 Yards
Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein was 1-for-2 in field goals in Week 17, but his score was from 47 yards. He nailed all four extra points. Zuerlein had an up-and-down year as his 75 percent field goal percentage was his lowest in four years. He'll be a midrange PK1 in fantasy if he sticks […]
Zane Gonzalez Makes All Kicks In Finale
Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez made a 31-yard field goal and all three extra points in the Week 17 finale. Gonzalez was a great PK1 for a stretch in the middle of the season, but he was hit or miss otherwise. He won't be one to consider in the top-12 kickers next season for now.
Mason Crosby Hits Game-Winner
Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby made three of four field goals and two extra points in a 23-20 victory over the Detroit Lions. The 35-year-old did miss one kick but made up for it in thrilling fashion with the game-winner, which clinched a first-round bye for Green Bay. Crosby ends the regular season 22 […]
Kai Forbath Makes Nine Kicks in Week 17
Dallas Cowboys kicker Kai Forbath made all nine of his kicks in a Week 17 win over Washington. Forbath made all five of his extra point tries and kicked in field goals from 28, 47, 48, and 40 yards out. Forbath was an excellent fantasy kicker for the weeks he was on the Cowboys, and […]
Jake Elliott Nails All Six of His Kicks in Week 17
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all six of his kicks in a Week 17 win. Elliott made two field goals, one from 31 yards out and the other from 50 yards. He also made all four of his extra point tries. Elliott will be a fine kicking option in DFS leagues on Wild Card […]
Wil Lutz Makes All Six Extra Points
New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made all six extra points in a 42-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Lutz didn't attempt a field goal for just the second time this year, though he salvaged his day by making at least four extra points for the fourth consecutive game. The 25-year-old finished second among kickers […]
Sam Ficken Struggles In Buffalo
New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken made two field goals on four attempts and converted his lone extra point Sunday in Buffalo. Conditions were less-than-ideal for kicking on a cold Sunday in Buffalo, but Ficken did not do much this season to give fantasy managers confidence he can be trusted in 2020. He finishes the […]
Eddy Pineiro Hits Game-Winner Against Vikings
Chicago Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro drilled all four of his field goal attempts, including a game-winning field goal, in the Bears 21-19 win over the Vikings. Kicking indoors, Pineiro kicked with confidence to end his inconsistent first season on a high note. Piniero finishes the season 23 of 28 on field goal attempts but questions […]
Dan Bailey Is Perfect Again In Loss
Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey hit all four of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point attempt in Week 17's 21-19 loss to the Chicago Bears. Bailey hit from 34, 37, 38, and 39 yards to boost his season field goal percentage rate over 93%. Bailey was given plenty of chances with Sean […]
Freddie Kitchens On His Way Out Of Cleveland?
The Cleveland Browns have been doing due diligence and making calls on potential new head coaches for 2020, which is a bad sign for current head coach Freddie Kitchens. The Browns have flopped in 2019 in Kitchens' first year as the top dog in Cleveland. They are 6-9 and in third place in the AFC […]
Jason Garrett Likely To Be Dismissed
The Dallas Cowboys are expected to move on from long-time head coach Jason Garrett in the event they are eliminated from playoff contention in Week 17. If Garrett is fired, Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley, Baylor head coach Matt Rhule and former Panthers head coach Ron Rivera are expected to be candidates in Dallas. Garrett has […]
Matt Prater Active Against Packers
Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater (illness) is active for Week 17 against the Packers. With Detroit's offense playing out the string in a lost season and struggling to put up points with third-string quarterback David Blough at the helm, Prater must be avoided in all fantasy formats for the Week 17 regular season finale. He's […]

Welcome to Week 17 RotoBallers. Below are our updated consensus Week 17 PPR rankings for fantasy football, including some running notes on relevant injuries, player news and rankings updates: The Bills are resting key starters including Devin Singletary, Cole Beasley, John Brown.

Jason Myers Faces Critical Game On Sunday
Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers could face one of the biggest matchups of his career when the team welcomes the San Francisco 49ers to town on Sunday. These NFC West matchups regularly come down to one kick, like Seattle's last win against SF and their earlier win against the Rams, and this one will decide […]
Michael Badgley Will Try To Continue Perfect Streak
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley will try to make it four straight games of perfection on Sunday when he faces the Chiefs in the team's final game of the season. Badgley has made 13 straight kicks heading into the last game of the year, and he remains perfect for the entire season from within […]
Dan Bailey Is A Weak Option At Kicker
Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey has had a great season as he has knocked in 92% of his field goal attempts and is a perfect 3-for-3 from at least 50 yards. However, he's not in a good spot for fantasy production in Week 17. The Vikings have already ruled Kirk Cousins and Dalvin Cook (shoulder) […]
Doug Marrone Will Be Fired After Week 17
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone has been informed that he will be dismissed following the Week 17 season finale against the Colts, according to sources. This doesn't come as a huge surprise with the Jaguars sitting at 5-10 and in last place in the AFC South with one game remaining in the season. Marrone […]
Greg Zuerlein Has The Matchup
Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein hasn't had a productive month with a 5-for-8 line in field goals and 13-for-13 in extra points. The Arizona Cardinals are a great matchup, though, and "Greg The Leg" sneaks in as a low-end PK1.
Zane Gonzalez Should Sit Out
Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez is 30th in fantasy points the last five weeks after a midseason binge to the top 10. The offense isn't clicking consistently enough to warrant the start against the Los Angeles Rams.
Wil Lutz Should Be Busy In Week 17
New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz could have a big day against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. Lutz has been one of the best fantasy kickers in the second half, as he has made at least two field goals and two extra points in six of seven games. Carolina has lost seven games in […]

Sam Ficken Not Startable Sunday
New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken had a career day last week against Pittsburgh, drilling all three field-goal attempts, including a career-long 54-yarder. Despite the positive game, Ficken has been inconsistent most of the season, making just 74 percent of his field goals. Traditionally, Buffalo is not the easiest place to kick in December, and […]
Falcons Will Keep Dan Quinn, Thomas Dimitroff
Atlanta Falcons owner and chairman Arthur M. Blank announced that head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff will be retained into the 2020 season. Additionally, Raheem Morris has been named the defensive coordinator, effective at the end of the 2019 season. Since moving back to defensive duties midway through this season, the Falcons […]
Mason Crosby A Decent Option Against Lions
Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby has an opportunity to have a solid day against the Detroit Lions in Week 17. The veteran has made 19 of 20 field goals and 38 of 39 extra points. He'll face a Lions team that allows 26.7 points per game, meaning he could be active on extra points. […]
Younghoe Koo Is A Worthy Starter In Week 17
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo has only hit two field goals over the past two weeks, but his track record on the season still remains strong. Plus, the Falcons should find themselves in plenty of scoring opportunities in Week 17 against the Buccaneers. Koo has hit 18 of his 21 field goal attempts on the […]
Kai Forbath a Strong Fantasy Option in Week 17
Dallas Cowboys kicker Kai Forbath is a solid kicking option for Week 17 fantasy lineups. Forbath was the entire Cowboys offense in Week 16, kicking three field goals in a game where the Cowboys scored just nine points. He should have a few more chances to kick in Week 17 against a struggling Washington defense.
Jake Elliott Looks to Get Back on Track in Week 17
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will look to get back on track in Week 17 against the New York Giants. Elliott missed two field goals in Week 16 and has been hot-and-cold since starting off the season without a miss until Week 13. He should have several chances to kick in what is a win-and-in […]
Bills Don't Plan To Rest Starters
Buffalo Bills head coach Doug McDermott said that the team doesn't plan to rest starters in Week 17 against the Jets. "I wish I could take them all out. We just don't have the numbers to do that," McDermott said. The head coach also hinted that backup quarterback Matt Barkley could see some time, so […]

Mason Crosby Makes Three Field Goals In Win
Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby made all three field goals and missed his lone extra-point attempt in a 23-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The three field-goal attempts tied a season-high for the 35-year-old. Crosby hasn't had many field-goal attempts all year- only 20- but he's been money, 19 of 20. He's also been […]
