Harrison Butker Notches Two Field Goals in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker surprisingly produced most of their points in the loss to the Colts in Week 5. Butker knocked down both his field goals and the single extra point in the 19-13 loss. The Chiefs usually have a high powered offense, so Butker produces more fantasy points. Butker did his job […]

Adam Vinatieri Lights It Up In Week 5

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri was one of the team's MVPs in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He went 4-for-4 on his field goals, and he made his lone extra-point attempt. The Colts' offense struggles in the red zone under quarterback Jacoby Brissett at times, but Vinatieri is there to bail them out […]

Brandon McManus Hits Two Field Goals

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus connected on two of three field goal attempts on Sunday afternoon as the Broncos beat the Chargers for their first win of the season. The 6th-year kicker hit from 40 and 46 yards out and also hit both of his extra points on the day. McManus continues to be a […]

Mason Crosby Flawless In Victory

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby delivered his best fantasy outing of the year Sunday against Dallas, nailing both a 20-yard and 38-yard field goal. That marks three consecutive weeks of multiple made field goals for the 13-year veteran, who also notched four made extra points, his most since Week 13 of last season. As […]

Wil Lutz Makes One Field Goal And Four Extra Points In Win

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz had a decent day against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5, making a 29-yard field goal and nailing four extra points. The 25-year old is 10-for-11 in 2019 and is also 5-for-5 from 40 yards or more. Lutz is one of the best kicking options in fantasy and […]

Brett Maher Misses Two Field Goals in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher missed two field goal attempts in a Week 5 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Maher made all three of his extra points and one field goal, but missed field goal tries from 54 and 33 yards. It was an uncharacteristically inaccurate day for Maher, who has otherwise been one […]

Dan Bailey Nails Four Field Goals In 28-10 Win

Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey had a great game on Sunday, hitting all four of his field goal attempts and both extra points in a 28-10 victory over the New York Giants. Bailey was very busy in Week 5, knocking in field goals from 31, 48, 32, and 45 yards in a confidence-boosting performance for […]

Mike Nugent Misses Extra-Point In Debut

New England Patriots kicker Mike Nugent made his debut with the team, hitting both of his field goal attempts but missing an extra-point in the Patriots win over the Redskins. The 37-year-old won an open tryout this week after long-time kicker Stephen Gostkowski was placed on IR with a hip injury. Nugent missed on his […]

Chris Boswell Nails Three Field Goals

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made three field goals and two extra points in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Ravens. It's clear he's put 2018 behind him as Sunday marked the first game that the 28-year-old made three or more field goals in a game since 2017. However, the Steelers offense took a big […]

Jake Elliott Makes a Field Goal and Four Extra Points in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made every kick asked of him in Week 5. He connected on all four of his extra point attempts and also knocked a 28-yard field goal through the uprights. Elliott has been very consistent this season, but the Eagles just haven't had a ton of field goal tries so far. […]

Aldrick Rosas Has One Field Goal Again

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas made his only field goal attempt in Sunday's loss. The Pro Bowler now has exactly one field goal in four of the Giants' five games this season. With the team not mounting a consistent offense capable of getting into field goal position often, Rosas remains off the streaming radar […]

Week 5 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 5 of the NFL season is here, and the offenses are starting to get even more in sync. Of the 15 games this week three different teams scored 40 or more points, including the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers combining for 95 points in a 55-40 final. In Week 5, we'll be […]

Greg Zuerlein Misses Potential Game-Winner In Week 5 Defeat

Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein failed to convert a potential 44-yard, game-winning field goal on Thursday night during the team’s 30-29 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks. While Zuerlein was forced to kick the FG further back due to a delay of game penalty, it still was surprising to see the veteran kicker miss, as […]

Jason Myers Goes 1-For-2 On Field Goals

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers got his first cracks from 40-plus yards on Thursday, and he missed his first one. A 48-yarder got pushed a little bit to the right just before halftime. Myers had been called in to kick in hopes that the team could go up two scores on LA, but it was […]

Adam Vinatieri Should Be Started This Week

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri is in a good spot to put up points this week. The Kansas City Chiefs allow 23.5 points per game, and the Colts are averaging 23.5 points per game. This is likely going to be a high-scoring matchup, and they have an over/under of 56 points for this week. High-scoring […]

Mason Crosby An Effective Option Against Dallas

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby offers an effective option for fantasy owners with the matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Crosby has missed just one field goal this season, converting five attempts as well as all 10 extra-point conversions. The Packers offense could be without their lead receiver Davante Adams (toe), meaning the offense is more […]

Matt Bryant A Potential Starting Option In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant has connected on three of his five field goal attempts and all seven of his extra-point attempts this year. The Falcons have had a good deal of turnovers through four games, which has prevented Bryant from having more opportunities. This week, the Falcons face the Texans in a game they […]

Mike Nugent Replacing Stephen Gostkowski

The Patriots have signed free-agent kicker Mike Nugent to replace Stephen Gostkowski, who was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Gostkowski is a candidate to return later this year, but Nugent will handle the kicking duties for New England in the meantime. The second-round pick back in 2005 played in three games for the Raiders […]

Jake Elliott Should Be Solid Again in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott should be a solid fantasy kicking option in Week 5. With the Eagles as almost two-touchdown favorites at home against the New York Jets, Elliott should be called on to kick several times. The only real risk here is that the Eagles won't need Elliott's leg for field goals and […]

Patriots Putting Stephen Gostkowski On Injured Reserve

The New England Patriots are placing kicker Stephen Gostkowski (undisclosed) on the Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to a league source. The 35-year-old booter has been a staple for the team's kicking game for nearly a decade, so this is a big blow to New England's special teams moving forward. Gostkowski made seven of his […]

Brett Maher Could Have a Big Day in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher could be a strong choice as a fantasy kicker in Week 5. Although Maher has been effective when called upon this season, it hasn't translated into a ton of success in fantasy lineups. The Cowboys host the Green Bay Packers this week though, and in what should be a close […]

Michael Badgley Has Setback, Chargers Sign Chase McLaughlin

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) is still a couple weeks away from a return after suffering a minor setback in his rehab from a groin injury. As a result, the Chargers are signing free-agent rookie Chase McLaughlin, according to a source. McLaughlin, from Illinois, has no kicking experience in the NFL and should […]

Chris Boswell Perfect In Week 4

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was perfect in Monday's 27-3 win over Cincinnati, making both field goal attempts, along with nailing three extra-point attempts. The 28-year-old is a perfect 7-for-7 on field goals this season, and he's also perfect on all seven extra points. This is a breath of fresh air compared to his rough […]

Brandon McManus Connects From 33 Yards Out

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus connected on all of his kicks Sunday afternoon as the Broncos lost at home to the Jacksonville Jaguars. McManus was perfect on his three extra-point attempts and hit on his lone field goal attempt from 33 yards out. The Bronco kicker continues to be solid on the year and a […]

Jason Myers Makes First Two FGs Of 2019

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers finally got to shake the rust off by knocking a pair of short field goals through the uprights on Sunday. The two knocks were simple ones, just 33 and 24 yards out, and he put them both through like it was no big deal. Both shots were center cut, and […]

Ty Long Spends Sunday Kicking, Not Punting

Los Angeles Chargers punter Ty Long certainly had a strange day. He filled in as the team's kicker once again since Michael Badgley remains sidelined with a groin injury, and that was expected. He then went perfect on field goals (3/3) and extra points (3/3), which is a pleasant surprise. He even made a 51-yarder. […]

Brett Maher Kicks a Field Goal and an Extra Point

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher kicked a field goal and an extra point in Week 4. The Cowboys offense struggled to move the ball on Sunday Night Football, but Maher still did everything that was asked of him. His field goal came from 28 yards out. It's been a somewhat disappointing fantasy season for Maher […]

Wil Lutz Connects on Four Field Goals

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz was the only source of points for the team in the 12-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Lutz knocked down all four of his field goal attempts in the Week 4 win. He continues to be one of the best kickers in the game, so he should be owned […]
