Robbie Gould Scores 11 Points
San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould converted five extra points and two of three field goal tries in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The offensive surge by the Niners against an overmatched Bengals Defense permitted plenty of opportunities for Gould, who knocked through boots of 33 and 38 yards. The 37-year-old veteran will remain […]
Aldrick Rosas Misses Lone Field Goal Attempt For Giants
New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas missed a 48-yard field goal attempt in Sunday's loss to the Bills. The Pro Bowler wasn't asked to do much during the game, knocking in both his extra points, but his lone field-goal attempt sailed wide left. The Giants figure to do more scoring next week against the Bucs, […]
Chris Boswell Perfect Against Seahawks
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made two field goals as well as both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 28-26 loss to Seattle. Boswell made field goals of 41 and 33 yards. He got more chances than in Week 1 against the Patriots but not as many as fantasy owners would have liked. The team's Week 3 […]
Mason Crosby Converts All Kicking Attempts In Victory
Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby converted all three kicks he attempted in the victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, all three kicks were extra points. Crosby won the kicking battle in the offseason and has been accurate so far this season. Crosby should remain a streaming option each week as part […]
Brett Maher Makes Four Extra Points and a Field Goal
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher made all four of his extra-point attempts in Week 2, adding a 25-yard field goal as well. In a week where several kickers struggled, Maher was his usual consistent self. With the Cowboys offense clicking as it has been, Maher hasn't really been needed for field goals, but he should […]
Updated Week 2 PPR Rankings (Top 300)
Welcome to Week 2 RotoBallers. Below are our updated consensus Week 2 PPR rankings for fantasy football, including some running notes on relevant injuries, player news and rankings updates: Joe Mixon plans to play in Week 2. Antonio Brown is expected to make his 2019 debut today. Le'Veon Bell was limited in practice Saturday, but expected […]
Michael Badgley Unlikely To Play
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) is not expected to play against the Detroit Lions. Badgley did practice throughout the week, and despite feeling good, he likely won't be available in Week 2, leaving punter Ty Long to handle the kicking duties once again. Long went 1-for-1 with three extra points against the Colts […]
Stephen Gostkowski Will Be Elite Option In Week 2
New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski will have a prime matchup against a talent-challenged Dolphins team in Week 2. Gostkowski was a perfect 4-for-4 in Week 1 against the Steelers, including nailing all three of his extra points. Expect the veteran kicker to have another active game and should be a top scorer at his […]
Chris Boswell Should Get Plenty Of Looks In Week 2
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell booted a 19-yard field goal to mark the only points in the team's Week 1 loss to New England. However, a return back home to face the Seahawks should do the Steelers some good, including Boswell. At home over his career, Boswell has made 88% of his field goals, compared […]
Michael Badgley Questionable For Week 2
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin), who is questionable for Week 2 against the Lions, did some kicking on Friday and felt good. However, he wants to make sure his groin injury won't linger. The matchup in Detroit is a good one, but fantasy owners can't trust Badgley until he proves his health in […]
Matt Bryant A Solid Low-End Start In Week 2
Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant didn't see any field-goal or extra-point attempts in Week 1. The Falcons scored two touchdowns in the game but attempted (and failed) two-point conversions on both occasions. This week, the Falcons host the Eagles in their home opener Sunday night, and the game should feature a lot of scoring, providing […]
Joey Slye Accurate In Loss To Buccaneers
Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye went 4-for-4 during the Thursday night loss to the Buccaneers. The rookie was efficient, to say the least, accounting for all of the team's offensive production while also tallying his second and third 50-plus yard kicks of the season. With quarterback Cam Newton failing to find the end zone throughout […]
Sam Ficken Set For Jets Debut
New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken will play in his first game for his new team Monday night vs Cleveland. The Jets signed Ficken after cutting Kaare Vedvik after Vedvik missed a field goal and an extra point in a 1-point loss last Sunday. Ficken made every kick in the Jets five-person tryout earlier in […]
Mason Crosby Could Have Productive Week
Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby could have a productive matchup against the Minnesota Vikings this week. The Vikings didn't allow the Atlanta Falcons to have a foothold in the matchup in Week 1. However, on the road against the Green Bay Packers that is likely to change. Aaron Rodgers has traditionally been able to […]

Michael Badgley Returns To Practice
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) was limited in practice on Wednesday after being inactive in the season opener against the Colts. Badgley is shaping up to be questionable for Week 2 against the Lions, so he'll once again be a very risky fantasy option. If he sits out his second straight game, Ty […]
Brett Maher Looks Like a Good Choice in Week 2
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher put up a somewhat disappointing Week 1 fantasy performance, although it was through no fault of his own. Maher connected on all five of his extra point attempts, but was not called upon to attempt a field goal. With a resurgent Cowboys offense and the favorable home conditions in Dallas/Arlington, […]
Jake Elliott is a Solid Kicking Option in Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is a solid option in Week 2 fantasy lineups. The Eagles take on the Atlanta Falcons in what should be at least somewhat of a shootout, so Elliott will likely have plenty of kicking opportunities. He only had one field goal attempt in Week 1, but pushed three extra points […]
Week 2 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season is just about wrapped up, and we saw plenty of wild and crazy things this past weekend. The Kansas City Chiefs scored 40 points on the day, and they were only third among the highest scorers. With several high scoring games, we saw quite a few active kickers. […]
Jets Cut Kaare Vedvik, Sign Sam Ficken
The New York Jets are cutting kicker Kaare Vedvik and are expected to sign free-agent kicker Sam Ficken, according to a source. Vedvik failed in his audition in Week 1 against the Bills, missing his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try in the one-point loss to Buffalo. In just four games the last […]
Brandon McManus Has Solid Night
Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus posted a solid stat line on Monday versus the Oakland Raiders. The sixth-year kicker connected on three of four field goals on the evening, with his lone miss being a 64-yarder that would have been good from around 62. McManus also hit on his only extra-point attempt on the night. […]
Daniel Carlson Nails All Four Kicks In Win
Oakland Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson got off on the right foot in Monday's matchup versus the Broncos. He hit all three of his extra-point attempts as well as a 29-yard field goal to help his team cruise to a 24-16 victory in Week 1. Carlson finished the last ten games with the Silver and Black […]
Chris Boswell Nets Steelers Only Points In Opener
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made his only field goal attempt, a 19-yarder in the third quarter of Sunday's 33-3 loss to the Patriots. It was the most anemic the Steelers' offense has looked in some time, so Boswell wasn't able to get going. Things could be difficult in Week 2 as well, as Pittsburgh […]
Stephen Gostkowski Hits Four Field Goals In Win
New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski hit all four of his field goals in the team's 33-3 win over the Steelers in Week 1. The veteran striker hit from 25, 35, 39 and 41 yards as the offense dominated from the opening snap. Gostkowski is looking to bounce back from a sub-par season last year […]
Jason Myers Drills Three Extra Points In Win
Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers wasn't put in any high-pressure game-winning field goal situations during the team's Week 1 win against Cincinnati, but his perfect day on extra points proved to be critical since the team only squeaked out the win by one point. The former Pro Bowler should get plenty of opportunities with the […]
Matt Prater Elite In Week 1
Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater went 2-for-2 on field goals, including a 55-yarder, and hit all three of his extra points during Sunday's tie against the Arizona Cardinals. There is no doubt that Prater is one of the best real-life and fantasy producing kickers in the league. Prater can be played in all formats and […]
Robbie Gould Knocks In Three Field Goals
San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould knocked in three field goals and two extra points in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gould also narrowly missed a 57-yard attempt, doinking one off the crossbar. The 37-year-old appears reliable as ever in his 15th season and should be a steady kicking option all year.
Aldrick Rosas Makes Only Field Goal
New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas wasn’t asked to do much on Sunday, but he did everything that was asked of him. He drilled his only attempt from 28 yards away and made both extra points. The Giants aren’t a dynamic offense, but they may score a lot of garbage-time points, as they figure to […]
Brett Maher Kicks Five Extra Points in Week 1
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher made all five of his extra points in a Week 1 victory over the New York Giants. Maher didn't get a chance to kick a field goal, but was perfect in his extra point opportunities. A solid kicker in an ascendant offense, Maher makes for a strong option in all […]
Harrison Butker Notches Four Field Goals
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker had himself an excellent game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. Butker is already known as one of the better kicker in the league, but he proved that point on Sunday. He knocked down all four of his field goal attempts in this contest. Butker scored 16 points […]
