Matt Bryant Perfect To End The Season

Dan Quinn, Falcons Overhaul Coaching Staff

The Atlanta Falcons fired offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel and special teams coach Keith Armstrong on Monday, according to sources. The Falcons were a huge disappointment on both sides of the ball in 2018. The issues on defense were mainly due to key injuries early in the season. The offense underachieved under […]

Matt Bryant Has Average Week 16

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant had a distinctly average fantasy return in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. Bryant converted all four of his opportunities, but three of the four were extra points, limiting any fantasy value. Bryant did make one field goal from 39 yards but for fantasy owners his performance is unlikely to […]

Robbie Gould's Revenge Game Falls Short

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould knocked through three field goals in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears. Facing his former team, Gould converted on all of his short field goal opportunities as the Niners failed to find the end zone.

Week 16 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

For much of the season, we've seen kickers rarely used on field goal duty, but, in the last couple of weeks, we have seen a large amount of change in that area. Defenses are cashing in on the bad weather to slow opposing offenses down, and that should continue in Week 16. The second round […]

Matt Bryant Has Solid Week 15 Return

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant had a 100% record against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15. Bryant made both of his field goals, including a long of 33 yards and all four of his extra points. Bryant is one of the most consistent kickers in the league and when he has had the opportunities he […]

Sebastian Janikowski Makes Costly Misplay

Seattle Seahawks kicker Sebastian Janikowski was perfect on field goals once again, but that isn’t what put him on the highlight reels this week. Instead, Janikowski is making all the worst play countdowns this week after he made zero effort to tackle Richie James on a kickoff return that went for a touchdown. Janikowski had […]

Chris Boswell Gives Himself Another Chance

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said the team will continue to run with kicker Chris Boswell after he made a big kick late in the Week 15 win over the Patriots. However, he also missed a 32-yard kick in the third quarter. "He's our kicker from start to finish and I liked the way […]

Mason Crosby Perfect In Week 15

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby made all three of his field goals against the Chicago Bears. The Packers went for two, so Crosby didn't have any extra-point attempts.

Carlos Hyde, Josh Lambo Inactive Against Redskins

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde and kicker Josh Lambo (groin) are both inactive in Week 15 against the Redskins. With Hyde a healthy scratch, TJ Yeldon and rookie David Williams will serve as the backups to workhorse Leonard Fournette. It's clear that Hyde doesn't have much of a role in this offense with Fournette […]

Michael Badgley Perfect On Extra Points

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley wasn’t expected to be terribly active on Thursday night, but he still made sure to get the job done. Badgley knocked through three extra points on the Chargers’ first three touchdowns, and he was willing to drill the tying one as well, if the coaches had decided to play […]
