Adam Vinatieri's Struggles Continue In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri has struggled more this year than in any other season. In Week 9, those struggles continued. He went 1-for-2 on field goals, including missing the go-ahead field goal in the fourth quarter, and he missed one of his two extra points. The future Hall of Famer just hasn't gotten into […]

Jake Elliott Makes Three Field Goals in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all three of his field-goal tries in Week 9, along with one of his two extra-point attempts. Two of Elliott's field goals came from 28 yards out and the other from 38 yards. He handled most of the scoring for the Eagles in this one and should continue to […]

Chris Boswell Returns To Perfect Ways

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was a perfect 4-for-4 on field goals while also making both extra-point attempts in Sunday’s 26-24 win over the Colts. The highlight of his day was a booming 51-yard field goal that sent the Steelers into the locker room trailing 16-13 at half time. He’s been a great streaming option […]

Week 9 is here, and, for some teams, the NFL season is officially halfway over. The fantasy season is even closer to being done, and wins and losses are becoming more and more important.

Ryan Succop Activated, Cody Parkey Released

The Tennessee Titans activated kicker Ryan Succop (knee) from the Injured Reserve on Saturday and waived Cody Parkey in a corresponding move. Succop resumed practicing with the team last month and will kick in Week 9 against the Panthers. Parkey kicked in the team's last three games after being signed to replace Cairo Santos, who […]

Mason Crosby A Solid Start In Week 9

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby had a strong first half of the year. The 35-year-old made at least two field goals or two extra-points in seven of eight games. He's 11 of 12 on field goals and has made all 26 extra-points this year. Playing on a Packers team that scores 26.9 points per […]

Sam Ficken Not A Starting Option

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken should get more opportunities to see the field in Week 9 at Miami, but is still not a recommended starter for fantasy. Ficken has only attempted three field goals in six weeks with the team after being signed prior to Week 2. Ficken has been serviceable for New York […]

Josh Lambo Will Kick In Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo (groin) will be able to kick in Week 9 against the Texans. Lambo missed practice this week, but it looks like that was just a precaution. He's been perfect on his field-goal tries this year and has missed one extra point. In a game in which the Jags offense should […]

Dan Bailey Is An Attractive Option in Week 9

Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey has returned to fantasy relevance during a stretch in which the Vikings offense has been firing on all cylinders. Bailey has nailed 85.7% of his field-goal attempts this year and has gone 10-for-10 over his last four games played. With Week 9's matchup against the vulnerable Kansas City Chiefs Defense […]

Adam Vinatieri Should Be Started In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri has been more inconsistent this season than ever before in his career. Despite that, you should still be starting him in Week 9. The Colts will be able to move the ball on the Pittsburgh Steelers, and that will put him in positions to score. This game figures to be […]

Aldrick Rosas Not On Fantasy Radar

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas should not be in fantasy lineups this week. The Cowboys have only allowed 11 field goals all year, and Rosas doesn't have a multiple field goal game yet in 2019. He shouldn't be in consideration for any season-long leagues.

Josh Lambo Not On The Practice Field

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. It puts his status in question for Week 9 against the Texans. The 28-year-old has been perfect on his 21 field-goal tries this year, and he's 12-for-13 on extra points. If he can play this weekend, he'll be a starting option for fantasy owners […]

Brett Maher a Solid Kicking Option in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher is a solid kicking option for Week 9 fantasy lineups. Maher has shown tons of leg strength this season and is an even better option in leagues with distance bonuses on field goals. The Cowboys shouldn't have much issue moving the ball against the New York Giants Defense, so Maher […]

Jake Elliott OK as a Kicker for Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is an OK option as a fantasy kicker for Week 9. Elliott was perfect on the season heading into Week 8, but he missed an extra point in the win against the Buffalo Bills. Elliott isn't getting the kind of volume you usually like to see for a kicker in […]

Falcons Release Matt Bryant, Sign Younghoe Koo

The Atlanta Falcons have released kicker Matt Bryant. Bryant had been with the Falcons since 2009, but he made just nine of his 14 field goals this season, also missing one of his 15 extra point attempts. In a corresponding move, the team signed kicker Younghoe Koo, last seen in a real NFL game as […]

Chris Boswell Posts Solid Night

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made two of three field goals, while nailing all three extra-point attempts in Monday’s 27-14 win over the Dolphins. Boswell missed a 54 yarder to open the third quarter, marking his first miss of the season. However, he made up by being perfect on the other five kicking attempts. In […]

Jason Myers Has Good Day In Week 8 Win

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers had a good fantasy day against the Atlanta Falcons. The 28-year-old hit two field goals, both from at least 40 yards out and nailed three extra points. Myers has now made at least two field goals and two extra points in three straight games. The fifth-year veteran is now 10-for-13 […]

Mason Crosby Has Accurate Week Against Kansas City

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby continued to be accurate in the victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Crosby kicked all four of his extra points attempts, and his only field goal attempt in the game. The veteran kicker has now converted 32 of his 33 attempts this season, making him one of the more […]

Chase McLaughlin Misses Late Field Goal In Victory Over Chicago

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Chase McLaughlin missed a late field goal in the team's narrow victory over the Chicago Bears. McLaughlin did convert both of his extra-point attempts, but only converted one of his two field-goal attempts in the game.

Wil Lutz Makes A Field Goal and Four Extra Points in Win

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made a field goal from 26 yards out, missed one from 47 yards and made four extra points in the Saints' Week 8 win. That makes four total misses on the year for Lutz, who only missed two kicks all of last year. Lutz has had a couple of […]

Aldrick Rosas Misses Extra Point on Sunday

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas had another uneventful day on Sunday. He missed his first extra point of the season, hitting two of three, and didn’t attempt a field goal all game. He’s not on the fantasy radar.

Brandon McManus Connects On Two Chip Shots

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus connected on two chip shot field goals in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts. McManus hit from 21 and 29 yards out in the second quarter while also connecting on his only extra-point attempt of the day. The 6th-year kicker is continuing to have a strong 2019 season for the […]

Sam Ficken Makes Lone Extra Point

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken made an extra point and didn't attempt a field goal in a loss to the Jaguars Sunday. It was the first kick Ficken has scored in two weeks as the Jets were shut out last week vs New England. Ficken has been solid when called upon but simply doesn't […]

Eddy Pineiro's Missed Field Goal Sinks Bears

Chicago Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro made 3 of 5 field goal attempts in the Bears 17-16 loss to the Chargers in Week 8. Pineiro hit the uprights on a 33-yard attempt in the first half and then was called upon to win the game with :04 left. But Pineiro missed again from 41 yards as […]

Adam Vinatieri Saves The Day With A Game-Winner

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri just knows how to get it done when it matters. In Week 8, the veteran experienced some struggles in what has been the worst season of his Hall of Fame career thus far. He missed a field goal on the first drive of the game, and in the third quarter […]

Jake Elliott Kicks a Field Goal and Two Extra Points

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott kicked a 37-yard field goal and two of his three extra points in Week 8. Elliott was perfect in Weeks 1 through 7, but he missed an extra point in Sunday's 31-13 win.
