Week 14 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 14 is here, and the fantasy playoffs are upon us. Congratulations are for those of you who have made it this far. These are the weeks that matter most because, once you lose, there is no going back. Picking the right kicker to get to a championship remains a key decision. In Week 13, […]

Jason Myers Drills Seven Kicks In Win

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers was the definition of perfection on Monday night against Minnesota when he knocked through three field goals and four extra points in the win. Myers was gifted nothing but short kicks, with his longest being made from 32 yards, but the important thing is that he's continued to roll since […]

Patriots Waive Kai Forbath

The New England Patriots waived kicker Kai Forbath on Monday, according to sources. In a corresponding move, the Pats claimed defensive tackle Albert Huggins off waivers from the Eagles. Forbath was filling in for Nick Folk, who had an appendectomy, in Week 13 and missed one of two extra-point tries in the Sunday night loss […]

Cowboys Sticking With Brett Maher

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said that the team will stick with kicker Brett Maher after working out three kickers on Sunday. "Those three guys did a nice job for us, but Brett is going to be our kicker going forward," Garrett said. Maher will continue to kick for Dallas, but he'll be on […]

Michael Badgley Misses 55-Yarder In Denver

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley got the chance to take advantage of the thin air of the Rockies on Sunday, but he pulled his critical kick a bit to the left. Badgley was given the opportunity to try to knock through a 55-yarder late in the game, but he ended up drilling the left […]

Zane Gonzalez Fizzles

Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez didn't have many opportunities in Week 13 and was able to only tack on an extra point late in the game. He didn't have a field goal attempt. Gonzalez faces the toughest matchup for a kicker in the Pittsburgh Steelers. They have given up the fewest points to kickers the […]

Mason Crosby Has Solid Day Against Giants

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby made his lone field-goal attempt and all four extra points in a 31-13 victory over the New York Giants. The 35-year-old has made a field goal in four straight games. Of slight concern is the fact that Crosby ranks just 26th in field goal attempts, though he's made up […]

Sam Ficken Makes Both Field Goals

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken made field goals of 42 and 39 yards and didn't attempt an extra point in a loss to the Bengals Sunday. Ficken kicked the ball well today but has been inconsistent this season. The Jets offense has failed to give Ficken too many scoring opportunities and with the calendar […]

Chris Boswell Hits Both Field-Goal Attempts

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell hit both of his field goal attempts along with two extra points in Sunday’s 20-13 win over Cleveland. The 29-year-old has missed just twice all year and is having a career-redeeming season after last year's struggles. He should get a similar amount of opportunities in Week 14 when the Steelers […]

Adam Vinatieri Is Ice-Cold In Week 13

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri had shown some life in the last few weeks, but in Week 13 he went ice-cold against the Tennessee Titans. He went just one of four on field goals, including having two blocked, one of which was returned for a touchdown. He went 2-for-2 on extra points, but this was […]

Austin Seibert Converts Two FGs in Loss

Cleveland Browns kicker Austin Seibert made both of his field goals in a 20-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13. Seibert also made an extra point, giving him seven points in the loss. The rookie kicker continues to turn in a steady debut season, having converted 20 of 23 field goals on the […]

Welcome to Week 13 RotoBallers. Below are our updated consensus Week 13 PPR rankings for fantasy football, including some running notes on relevant injuries, player news and rankings updates: Matt Breida (ankle) has officially been ruled out again.

Jason Myers Remains Perfect Within 40 Yards On Field Goals

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers was slowed down last week with a small hip injury, but he showed on Sunday that there were no ill effects as he was perfect on field goals for the second straight week. This Monday will be his first time kicking at home again since he had a dreadful performance […]

Dan Bailey Is A Sneaky Week 13 Play

Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey is a solid starting option for Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks have been getting gashed through the air over their last four games, and Kirk Cousins has been among the top passers in the league in that time period. The game has the second-highest expected point total […]

Zane Gonzalez Should Stay On Waivers

Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez was hot for a few weeks and tailed off a little bit before the bye week. The matchup against the Los Angeles Rams hasn't been a good one for kickers of late as they're one of the stingiest teams against them the last five weeks. If Gonzalez weren't coming off […]

Mason Crosby A Great Option Against Giants

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby gets a great bounce-back chance against the New York Giants in Week 13. The 35-year-old didn't attempt any kicks last week against the stingy San Francisco 49ers' defense. The Giants are a welcome opponent, as they have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers. In a game with […]

Michael Badgley Gets To Kick At High Altitude Again

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley will be booting the ball a mile high this week when he faces the Broncos in Denver on Sunday. Unfortunately, the increased elevation hasn't done wonders for Badgley's kicking prowess in the past. When the team recently played in Mexico City, which is even higher than Denver, Badgley made […]

George Kittle, Emmanuel Sanders, Deebo Samuel Good To Go

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle, knee), wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) and Deebo Samuel (shoulder) and kicker Robbie Gould (quadriceps) were all taken off the final injury report for Week 13 against the Ravens. Kittle returned last Sunday and went off for over 100 yards and a touchdown against the Packers. Despite […]

Wil Lutz Stays Hot In Saints Win

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made all four field-goal attempts and both extra points in a 26-18 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Lutz benefited from a relatively shaky offensive performance by the Saints. The 25-year-old has now made a least two field goals in four straight games and is one of the best kicking […]

Falcons Won't Make Coaching Change Before Week 14

The Atlanta Falcons won't make a coaching change before their Week 14 game, according to a source. The Falcons lost again on Thanksgiving night to the Saints and are now a disappointing 3-9 on the season and well out of playoff contention. Head coach Dan Quinn has been on the hot seat for much of […]

Falcons Sticking With Younghoe Koo

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said the team will stick with kicker Younghoe Koo after he missed an extra point and a field goal in the Thanksgiving loss to the Saints. It was a rough game for Koo on Thursday, especially indoors, but he has made 12 of his 14 field-goal attempts for Atlanta […]

Patriots Release Nick Folk

The New England Patriots released kicker Nick Folk (appendix) on Friday after signing Kai Forbath to replace the injured kicker in Week 13 against the Texans. Folk made seven of his nine field-goal tries and all three extra points in three games for the Patriots while replacing the injured Stephen Gostkowski. It's possible that the […]

Cowboys Sticking With Jason Garrett

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he is sticking with head coach Jason Garrett despite the team losing four of their last five games. "This is not the time for me [to make a coaching change]," Jones said. "I'm looking ahead at another ballgame. I'm looking ahead at winning four or five straight and helping […]

Younghoe Koo Hits Two Field Goals In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo hit two of three field-goal attempts on Thanksgiving. He missed a 42-yarder but hit a 45-yard attempt. He also missed his only extra-point attempt in the game. Koo has attempted at least three field goals in each of his four games with the Falcons. The opportunities are aplenty and Koo […]

Brett Maher Misses Two Kicks in Week 13

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher kicked an extra point in Week 13, but he missed both of his field goal attempts. It was a rough outing for Maher despite a decent enough matchup. In most leagues, Maher ended up with negative points. He'll look for better luck next week on Thursday Night Football against the […]

Patriots Expected To Sign Kai Forbath

The New England Patriots are expected to sign kicker Kai Forbath to replace Nick Folk (appendix) for Week 13 against the Texans, according to sources. Forbath kicked in three games for the Jaguars last year and was the Vikings full-time kicker in 2017. Kicking for the Patriots is typically a good thing since their offense […]

Nick Folk Out For Week 13

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk (appendix) will miss Week 13 against the Texans after undergoing an appendectomy, according to a source. The procedure was done laparoscopically, which is minimally invasive, meaning that Folk should only miss one game and return in Week 14. The Patriots will need to add a kicker before Sunday night, […]

Week 13 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

It's Week 13, and we're in the final week of the fantasy regular season for a lot of you. Some of you may even be in the playoffs already, or you're playing for the consolation trophy. Whatever the case, kickers still matter. In Week 12, we saw a quiet week from some of our kickers, […]

Robbie Gould Practicing In Full

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould (quadriceps) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Gould hasn't kicked for the team since Halloween, but there's a good chance he'll return for Week 13 against the Ravens. The 36-year-old wasn't very effective for the Niners before his injury, going 13-for-20 on his field-goal attempts (65 percent) […]
