Greg Joseph Kicks Three Extra Points

Cleveland Browns kicker Greg Joseph was perfect on all three of his extra-point attempts in a Week 7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Joseph was not asked to attempt a field goal in the game. The rookie kicker is now 8-for-9 in field goal attempts with six extra points in seven attempts. Not used […]

Caleb Sturgis Missing Another Game On Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Caleb Sturgis (quad) will not be kicking for the team in the Week 7 overseas encounter against the Titans. Though he practiced sparingly throughout the week, he hasn't improved enough to resume his duties and as a result, kicker Michael Badgley, who made one field goal and five pats last week […]

Justin Tucker A Top-10 Play In Week 7

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been nearly automatic this year as he has been throughout his seven-year career. The 33-year-old had limited chances last week versus Tennessee, but he made the most of his chances as he banged all three of his extra-point attempts through the uprights, giving him 15 straight makes this year […]

Giorgio Tavecchio A Risk-Reward Play Monday

Atlanta Falcons newly-signed kicker Giorgio Tavecchio is an interesting risk-reward option for fantasy owners in the Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants. This Falcons offense has been extremely effective at home in converting opportunities into touchdowns, limiting the value of the kicker. However, the counter is that this is a Falcons team […]

Caleb Sturgis Fully Participates In Practice

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Caleb Sturgis was a full participant in practice on Friday after being limited all week. Sturgis missed last week's game with an injured quad, and he's considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. This leaves fantasy owners in a bit of a lurch because Mike Badgley stepped in and was […]

Travis Benjamin, Caleb Sturgis Questionable For London Game

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) and kicker Caleb Sturgis (quadriceps) are both questionable for the Week 7 game against the Titans in London. Benjamin practiced in full on Friday, so he should return for the first time since Sept. 30. Benjamin only has two catches for three yards in two games and […]

Greg Zuerlein Expected To Play Sunday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay was clear that he expects kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) to be back in the lineup in Week 7 against the 49ers. Zuerlein has practiced in full each of the last two days, so he should be fine. Legatron has made four of his five field goal tries and […]

Caleb Sturgis Unlikely To Play In London

It's looking unlikely that Los Angeles Chargers kicker Caleb Sturgis (quadriceps) will be able to play in London in Week 7 against the Titans, meaning Michael Badgley will receive another start. Badgley filled in admirably for Sturgis in his NFL debut, making a 44-yard field goal and all five of his extra points in the […]

Matt Bryant Officially Ruled Out

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (hamstring) was officially ruled out for Week 7 against the Giants on Monday night on Thursday by head coach Dan Quinn. Giorgio Tavecchio was signed earlier this week to handle the kicking duties against the Giants. It's unclear if the veteran Bryant will be able to return in Week 8, […]

Greg Zuerlein Ready To Return This Week

Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Greg the Leg has been out since injuring his groin on Sept. 16, but he's primed to return in Week 7 against the 49ers after the team cut Cairo Santos (the fill-in) on Tuesday. Zuerlein has one of the strongest […]

Week 7 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 7 is upon us, and the NFL kickers remain as impossible as ever to predict. A week after finishing third among kickers, Tenessee Titans kicker Ryan Succop finished with zero points. New York Jets kicker Jason Myers finished as a top-20 scorer among all players in most formats this week. There are some juicy […]

Rams Cut Cairo Santos

The Los Angeles Rams cut kicker Cairo Santos on Tuesday. He went 2-for-3 in the Week 6 win over the Broncos, but Greg Zuerlein (groin) is expected to return from his injury in Week 7 to face the 49ers. If Zuerlein is on your league's waiver wire, pick him up. He'll be one of the […]

Falcons Likely To Sign Giorgio Tavecchio

The Atlanta Falcons are likely to sign free-agent kicker Giorgio Tavecchio to replace Matt Bryant (hamstring) in Week 7 against the Giants on Monday night, according to a source. Tavecchio was with the team in camp before being cut, so he is familiar with them. Bryant owners will have to find a replacement for this […]

Mason Crosby Bounces Back With Clutch Performance

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby had a fantastic night as he helped his team beat the San Francisco 49ers in the final seconds of Monday night's game. After missing all but one of his field goals in Week 5 against the Detroit Lions, Crosby had four field goals and three successful extra-point attempts in […]

Harrison Butker Knocks Down Four Field Goals

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker had an incredible fantasy day in the 43-40 loss to the Patriots. Butker kicked his season-high three field goals last week against Jacksonville, but already beat that against New England. Butker hit all four of his field goal attempts on Sunday. He managed to knock down two field goals […]

Devonta Freeman, Matt Bryant Expected To Miss Week 7

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said running back Devonta Freeman (foot, groin) and kicker Matt Bryant (hamstring) are both likely to be out for Week 7 against the Giants on Monday night. Bryant suffered a strained hamstring on his final kick in the Week 6 win over the Buccaneers. Freeman is set to miss […]

Matt Bryant Suffers Injury In Impressive Outing

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant had somewhat of a mixed day against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Bryant kicked two 40-plus yard field goals including essentially a game clinching 57-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Bryant also added four extra points to take his personal game total to 10-points. However, on the 57-yard […]

Brett Maher Has a Strong Week 6 Performance

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher was able to rack up points in Week 6, connecting on four field goals and four extra points. Maher's field goals came from 50, 46, 32, and 55 yards out. It was a strong game from the former CFL kicker, and he should continue to put up decent numbers as […]

Greg Joseph Makes Two Field Goals

Cleveland Browns kicker Greg Joseph hit both of his field goal attempts in a 38-14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6. Joseph did not get a chance to attempt any extra points in the game. The rookie kicker is now 8-for-9 in field goal attempts since joining the team while hitting on […]

Mike Badgley Kicks Perfectly For Chargers

Los Angeles Chargers backup kicker Mike Badgley may have just won the starting kicking job. After starting kicker Casey Sturgis was unable to go on Sunday, Badgley stepped in and couldn't have done it any better. Badgley nailed a 44-yard field goal and five extra points in the blowout win over the Browns, and head […]

Sebastian Janikowski Perfect Against Old Team

Seattle Seahawks kicker Sebastian Janikowski played his part in putting down his old team on Sunday. Facing the Raiders in London, Janikowski went 2-for-2 on field goals and knocked through four extra points without issue as the Seahawks cruised to the 27-3 win. Janikowski has now been perfect in four of the last five weeks, […]

Dan Bailey Goes 2-for-2 On Field Goals In Week 6

Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey converted both of his field goal attempts in a 27-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was also 3-for-3 on extra points. This was a solid rebound performance for the veteran who missed two field goals against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5. The Vikings offense routinely drives into enemy […]

Caleb Sturgis Out For Chargers

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Caleb Sturgis (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Browns. Sturgis was questionable all week. In his absence, the Chargers will roll with undrafted rookie Michael Badgley on Sunday against Cleveland. Needless to say, fantasy owners shouldn't be using Badgley in their lineups this week. Sturgis' injury didn't […]

Updated Week 6 PPR Rankings (Top 300)

Welcome to Week 6 RotoBallers. Below are our updated Week 6 PPR rankings for fantasy football, including some running notes on relevant injuries and rankings updates: Matt Breida (ankle, shoulder) is officially active for MNF. Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) is officially active for MNF. Geronimo Allison (hamstring) is officially out for MNF. Randall Cobb (hamstring) is […]

Caleb Sturgis Questionable For Week 6

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Caleb Sturgis (quadriceps) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play in Week 6 against the Browns. The Bolts signed Mike Badgley earlier this week, so there's a real chance Sturgis won't play in this one. If you own Sturgis, it'd be wise to look for other options […]

Greg Zuerlein Ruled Out

Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Broncos. Zuerlein is getting close to a return, though, so he could be back as soon as Week 7. As soon as he's back Zuerlein will be in play as a high-end fantasy kicker for one of the best […]

Matt Bryant Should See Plenty Of Opportunities Sunday

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant should see plenty of opportunities to kick on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The only real question mark is over whether those opportunities will be as extra points and field goals. The Falcons should be in and around the red zone a lot in this game but Bryant's fantasy […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped Players (Week 6)

With Week 5 coming to a close in record-breaking fashion, it is that time of week again to look at the most added and dropped players from the waiver wire leading up to week 6. But before we do, as always allow me to share some statistics from the previous week. Adam Thielen is the […]

Mason Crosby Looking To Bounce Back In Week 6

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby had a rough Week 5 against the Detroit Lions. The Packers have stuck by their veteran kicker and the team has seemingly rallied around him. In baseball when you make a mistake or first come into a game the ball will always find you. Crosby should expect the same […]
