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 […]

LeSean McCoy, Chris Ivory Questionable

Buffalo Bills running backs LeSean McCoy (hamstring) and Chris Ivory (shoulder) are both listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Lions. McCoy was limited on Thursday and Friday, while Ivory practiced in full all week. Kicker Stephen Hauschka (hip) is also questionable and shouldn't be a fantasy consideration in a bad Buffalo offense. McCoy […]

Josh Lambo Questionable For Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo (groin) is listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Redskins. Rookie wide receiver DJ Chark (quadriceps) has been ruled out. Lambo is expected to be able to play. He's had a good year while making 19 of his 21 field-goal attempts and 19 of his 20 extra points, but […]

Steelers Giving Chris Boswell Another Chance

The Pittsburgh Steelers are sticking with kicker Chris Boswell for Week 15 against the Patriots, according to a source. Veteran kicker Kai Forbath remained with the team after a Wednesday tryout, but he's been informed they are keeping Boswell. Boswell had a good practice on Thursday and will get another shot this weekend. After signing […]

Michael Badgley Wins Special Teams Award

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley took home the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week award this week, thanks in part to his franchise-record 59-yard field goal on Sunday. Now he gets rewarded by having to kick in the windy, rainy, freezing cold conditions of Kansas City, Missouri on Thursday night. Badgley has been […]

Mason Crosby Has Potential In Week 15

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby has potential for a big game in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears. He could benefit from the Packers offense looking rejuvenated, but he also has to play against a more stingy defense this week. Crosby had three field goals and an extra-point in Week 1 against the Chicago […]

LeSean McCoy, Steven Hauschka Won't Practice Wednesday

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (hamstring) and kicker Steven Hauschka (hip) will not practice on Wednesday. McCoy injured his hammy early in the Week 14 game and barely put up any numbers as a result. It seems unlikely that he'll play in Week 15 against the Lions, but his practice participation the rest of […]

Dan Bailey Misses Field Goal For Third Straight Week

Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey had a 47-yard field goal attempt blocked by Bobby Wagner in the fourth quarter of Monday's game. The block was highly controversial as Wagner put his hands on his lineman to leverage himself over the line. It is hard to fault Bailey for this missed kick, but he has been […]

Sebastian Janikowski Perfect On MNF

Seattle Seahawks kicker Sebastian Janikowski appears to have gotten those misses out of his system. Janikowski shanked a coupled of extra points last week against San Francisco, but he was perfect against the Vikings on Monday night. In a critical game to help give the team some breathing room in the wild card race, Janikowski […]

Week 15 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 14 is over, and, for some of us, so is our fantasy season. For those of you that are still going, congratulations are in order. Kickers become all the more important during the playoffs, as the weather is getting colder, and the best players are even more difficult to predict. Week 15 is here, […]

Justin Tucker Tallies Six Points

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was 3-for-3 on extra points and made his lone field goal attempt in Sunday's overtime loss to the Chiefs. Tucker's 28-yard field goal in the second quarter gave the Ravens a 10-7 lead. The six points he accumulated were his lowest in five weeks and snapped a four-game streak of […]

Matt Bryant Misses Long Attempt In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (back) did not get many opportunities as the Falcons offense struggled against the Green Bay Packers. Bryant's only field goal opportunity was a 53-yarder, which you would normally give him a chance to make, but in the cold of Lambeau Field it was always going to be tough. Bryant did […]

Michael Badgley Nails 59-Yarder

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley was working with a different kind of magic in Week 14. To cap off a ridiculous drive at the end of the first half, Badgley drilled a 59-yard kick that was truly a thing of beauty. He would finish the day 4-for-4 on field goals, which proved critical in […]

Matt Prater Continues Field-Goal Streak In Week 14

Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater hit his only field-goal attempt while also knocking two extra points in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Prater has now made 15 straight field goals dating back to Week 7. Unfortunately for Prater, he hasn't received many opportunities recently because the Lions offense has been struggling. Either way, he's been […]

Mason Crosby Has A Big Game

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby had a big game against the Atlanta Falcons this week. Crosby connected on both of his field goals, one of which was from 50 yards. He also added four extra-points. Crosby will benefit if the offense can be as productive as it was on Sunday. Keep Crosby as a […]

Tom Coughlin Could Take Over Head-Coaching Duties In 2019

There is growing belief that Jacksonville Jaguars president Tom Coughlin could wind up serving as the head coach in 2019. The team was embarrassed in a blowout loss to the Titans last Thursday after surprising with an AFC Championship appearance in 2017. The Jaguars have been marred by fights, suspensions and lack of discipline all […]

Matt Bryant Active Against Packers

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (back) is active for Week 14 against the Packers. With the 43-year-old playing on Sunday, backup Giorgio Tavecchio is a healthy scratch. Bryant has been perfect on all 15 of his field goals this year and has missed just one of his 21 extra-point tries. Atlanta's offense hasn't been as […]

Michael Badgley Gets Wonderful Kicking Weather

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley has been the answer to a lot of Chargers fans’ prayers so far. The Chargers looked like they were going to be hamstrung by a terrible kicking game once again this season, but Badgley’s proven to be a miracle worker. Since taking over the job, Badgley has made seven […]

Matt Bryant A Risky Play With Upside

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (back) has upside this week against Green Bay in Week 14, but that upside comes with risk. The Falcons should be able to move the ball enough against the Packers so that their kicker should get at least a couple of field goal opportunities. However, Bryant has been questionable this […]

Matt Bryant Questionable For Week 14

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (back) is questionable to play in Week 14 against the Packers. Bryant should be able to play against the Packers this week in a favorable matchup after being limited in practice this week. He'll be an acceptable low-end fantasy kicker if he's active. If he sits out of this one, […]

Graham Gano Won't Kick In Week 14

Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano (knee) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Browns, according to a source. However, his injury doesn't seem to be a long-term one, so he could be back in Week 15. The Panthers signed Chandler Catanzaro on Friday, so he'll handle the kicking duties this Sunday. He wasn't […]

Panthers Sign Chandler Catanzaro

The Carolina Panthers signed free-agent kicker Chandler Catanzaro on Friday with Graham Gano (knee) limited in practice on Thursday. Guard Amini Silatolu (knee) was put on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Those that own Gano need to make alternate plans this week with him being questionable after missing practice on Friday. Catanzaro made 11 […]

Mason Crosby Isn't A Top Option At Kicker

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby hasn't made more than two field goals since Week 8. He still has a solid floor as the Packers will always be able to get into scoring position several times in a game, but his ceiling isn't very high right now. Crosby can still have big games, but the […]

Week 14 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 14 is upon us, and the fantasy regular season is over. The playoffs are what we have spent the past few months or even longer researching for, and the decisions we make right now matter more than any we have made to this point. Every team is scrapping for position, and, with weather issues […]

Matt Bryant Has Poor Return On Sunday

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant did not return very good fantasy production against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Bryant had an early field goal from 44 yards but in the remainder of the game he was only able to add a single extra point. After being injured for most of the week Bryant was able […]

Michael Badgley Makes Interesting Game-Winner

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley was the hero on Sunday night as he knocked through the game-winning kick as time expired, but getting there took an odd series of events. Facing a 39-yard field goal opportunity with three seconds left in a primetime game, Badgley missed. Fortunately, Pittsburgh’s defense was clearly offsides, so he […]

Falcons Still Have Faith In Dan Quinn

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank hasn't "lost any faith" in head coach Dan Quinn or general manager Thomas Dimitroff after another loss to the Ravens in Week 13. Atlanta is currently 4-8 and in last place in the NFC South and well out of playoff contention. Their defense suffered multiple key injuries to their defensive […]

Jason Myers is Fantastic Against Tennessee

New York Jets kicker Jason Myers was basically the only reason that the Jets had a chance during the Week 13 loss to the Titans. Myers knocked down five field goals and totaled 16 of the Jets 22 points. He knocked down a 54 yard field goal and was a perfect 5-for-5 during the 26-22 […]
