Jake Elliott Makes All of His Kicks in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott was perfect in Week 1, hitting his lone field-goal attempt from 22 yards out and converting all three of his extra-point attempts. In an offense that should score plenty of points, Elliott is one of the better and more consistent fantasy place kicker options.

Kaare Vedvik Has Day To Forget In Jets Debut

New York Jets kicker Kaare Vedvik missed an extra point and a 45-yard field goal in his first game with the Jets after being signed last week. Vedvik was picked up by the Jets after being cut by Minnesota in the preseason and appears to be on the verge of getting cut again after leaving […]

Michael Badgley Won't Play Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin), who was listed as doubtful for Week 1 against the Colts, will not play on Sunday, according to a source. Ty Long will do the kicking in the season opener, but he shouldn't be in any fantasy lineups. When healthy, Badgley is in the discussion as a starting […]

Michael Badgley Downgraded To Doubtful

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) has been downgraded to doubtful for Week 1 against the Colts on Sunday. Badgley injured himself in practice this week and is likely to sit out of the season opener. It's a tough break for a kicker that really established himself on a team that had been consistently […]

Greg Zuerlein Is Back To Legatron Status

Although Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein dealt with injuries late in 2018, he is back and full go heading into the 2019 season. The Rams-Panthers game this Sunday is one of four games featuring an over/under of 50 or more points, making Zuerlein a good bet to get some field-goal opportunities this week. Zuerlein […]

Michael Badgley Questionable For Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley (groin) injured himself in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 1 against the Colts on Sunday. Badgley turned into a fantasy relevant kicker last year for a team had struggled for years to figure out their kicking situation. It's a tough start for the Bolts special teams, […]

Matt Prater An Excellent Week 1 Start

Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater has proven that he is an elite NFL kicker and will look to continue his productive ways in 2019. He has already hit from 61 yards this preseason, so the Lions will not be afraid of throwing him out there for multiple 50-plus yard attempts per game if needed. Prater […]

Matt Bryant Set To Return As Falcons Kicker

The Atlanta Falcons recently brought back veteran kicker Matt Bryant after trying out Giorgio Tavecchio and Blair Walsh in the preseason. After Tavecchio and Walsh struggled, the team decided to cut them and re-sign Bryant. The 44-year-old Bryant will return to the same role he's had with the Falcons since 2009. He converted 95.2% of […]

Mason Crosby Converts Both Kicks In Opener

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby was only called on by the team twice but was able to convert both attempts in the opening matchup against the Chicago Bears. Crosby converted the extra point and then hit a 39-yard field goal in the final quarter to win the game for the visiting team. Crosby should […]

Eddy Pineiro Connects On Only FG Attempt Against Packers

Chicago Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro connected on a 38-yard field goal in the Bears 10-3 loss to the Packers in Week 1. The "rookie" was thrust into the action in the first quarter, burying a midrange kick right down the middle for his first NFL field goal. The young kicker never saw another opportunity in […]

Steven Hauschka Shouldn't Be Started In Week 1

Buffalo Bills kicker Steven Hauschka is not a safe starting option for Week 1. Hauschka struggled last season, converting just 78.6% of his field goal attempts compared with his career average of 86.4%. While the Bills should have an improved offense this year, giving Hauschka more opportunities, it's hard to rely on that taking effect […]

Kaare Vedvik Confident Despite Rough Preseason

New York Jets kicker Kaare Vedvik is confident heading into a Week 1 matchup with the Bills despite getting cut by Minnesota after the preseason. Vedvik was competing for the kicker job with the Vikings but was cut after going 1-for-4 in the team's final preseason game. Despite getting cut, Vedvik is confident saying that […]

Adam Vinatieri A Consistent Option In Week 1

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri is the ageless wonder. At age 46, turning 47 in December, Vinatieri remains one of the mainstays of the NFL. He may not be booming 55-yard field goals on a weekly basis, but he's going to make far more than he misses. In Week 1, he'll get scoring opportunities as […]

Ryan Succop Put On IR, Cairo Santos Signs

The Tennessee Titans placed kicker Ryan Succop (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed free agent Cairo Santos in a corresponding move, according to a source. Succop will have to sit out the first half of the season now, so he's obviously not a fantasy option. Santos made 14 of his 18 field-goal attempts […]

Dan Bailey A Decent Option In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey survived the Kaare Vedvik experiment and remains the team's starter at the position. Bailey had a shaky 2018 season with the Vikes, hitting just 5-of-11 field goals from 40 yards or more and registering a subpar 75% field goal percentage. His career average is 86.6%, but Bailey has been statistically […]

Terminator Tournament Challenge: The Future Is In Your Hands

Many of you are familiar with best-ball leagues. You draft a full squad, then sit back and watch your optimal lineup each week accumulate points. No lineup decisions, no waivers, no in-season management. No muss, no fuss. Some people love the appeal of putting all their eggs in the draft basket and constructing multiple rosters […]

Observations From My First FFPC Draft

I've always considered myself to be really good at the waiver wire, which is part of the reason why I've avoided doing any Best Ball leagues until this year unless you count the three-person one I did for fun last year with my wife and one of our friends. But if you want to evolve […]

Week 1 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season is finally here. The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears are kicking off the NFL's 100th season on Thursday night football. After the long wait, we're here today to talk about fantasy football's most important position. That's right. We're talking about kickers. All jokes aside, the importance of […]

2019 Kicker Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts

The NFL's preseason has come to an end. By Saturday afternoon, all NFL rosters need to be cut down to 53 players. Over 1,000 players will be cut by 4:00 p.m. Fortunately for most of the players that we're looking at today, they have their spots locked up. It's time to look at everyone's favorite […]

Eddie Pineiro Hopes Extra-Point Doesn't Cost Him

Chicago Bears kicker Eddie Pineiro missed badly on an extra-point attempt in the Bears final preseason game but rebounded to hit straight three field goals. The Bears kicking situation has carried plenty of drama all offseason and now into training camp. Now Pineiro is the last man standing, or is he? With players like the […]

Daniel Carlson Hits Three Field Goals To Cap Strong Preseason

Oakland Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson made good on three of his four field goal attempts in Thursday's preseason finale against the Seahawks. He hit a 43-yarder to cap the team's opening drive, but nailed the upright in his second attempt of the game from 42 yards out. The game was played under rainfall, so field […]

Austin Seibert Makes Two FGs While Greg Joseph Looks On

Cleveland Browns kicker Austin Seibert made both of his field goal attempts in the team's 20-16 preseason win over the Detroit Lions. He also tacked on two extra points in the win. Many expected that it would be Greg Joseph who would carry out the kicking duties in the fourth game after Seibert played the […]

Jason Sanders Continues to be Miami's Biggest Weapon

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders ended his preseason by hitting all three of his field-goal attempts, with a long of 46 yards in Miami's 16-13 victory over the Saints on Thursday night. While he did miss one extra-point attempt in the Dolphins second preseason game, Sanders was a perfect 10-for-10 in field-goal attempts this preseason, […]

Aldrick Rosas Sharp In Final Tune-Up

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas made both of his field goals against the Patriots in the team's final preseason game. A Pro Bowl kicker last year, Rosas has his roster spot all locked up; however, the Giants don’t figure to be strong enough offensively to give him consistent value. He could be a good streamer in […]

Taylor Bertolet Struggles Against Eagles

New York Jets kicker Taylor Bertolet is in danger of being cut after missing three of five field goals Thursday vs the Eagles. To be fair to Bertolet, the misses were from 53, 56, and 49 yards away, but the team is certainly looking for someone who can make those kicks with some degree of […]

Graham Gano Could Start On Injured Reserve

Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano (knee) doesn't seem to be getting better, and the team could choose to place him on Injured Reserve to start the season in hopes of getting him back later in the season, according to sources. Gano only played in 12 games last year due to injury, but he was entering […]

Graham Gano Not Expected To Play Thursday

The Carolina Panthers don't expect kicker Graham Gano (knee) to play in the preseason finale against the Steelers on Thursday, according to a league source. Gano should be fine for the regular season opener, but it's something worth watching. He made just 14 kicks in 16 tries in 12 games last year, but he still […]

Steven Hauschka Signs Extension

The Buffalo Bills signed kicker Steven Hauschka to a two-year contract extension on Wednesday. The 34-year-old has been very adequate for the Bills the last two years. He made 22 of his 28 field goals in 2018, including going 4-for-7 from 50-plus yards. Hauschka missed just one of his 26 extra-point tries. However, for a […]

Taylor Bertolet Nails Two Long Field Goals

New York Jets kicker Taylor Bertolet connected from 48 and 56 yards as well as an extra point in the third preseason game Saturday. It was a badly needed good game for Bertolet who missed two extra points in the second preseason game against the Falcons. There was talk around the team they may go […]

Jason Myers Drills 58-Yarder

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is getting Seahawks fans real excited about their field goal chances. Myers drilled a 58-yarder on Saturday night, and he still had room to spare, though it was officially his second chance at it. Myers originally faced a 53-yarder, but a false start penalty on Seattle allowed Myers the chance […]
