Wil Lutz Busy In Week 1 Loss

The rookie kicker nailed all four of his extra points, although fantasy […]

George Fant Ruled Out For Rest Of Week 1

Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle George Fant (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Broncos. The situation certainly didn't look good, as the veteran couldn't put weight on his leg.

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay (hernia) is officially inactive for Week 1 of the regular season on Sunday against the division-rival Houston Texans.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody will open his sophomore season with a Monday night home game versus the New York Jets.

In his first year with the Denver Broncos in 2023, kicker Wil Lutz finished as the No. 18 fantasy kicker by making 30 of his 34 field-goal attempts and 29 of his 31 extra-point opportunities in 17 games. It was enough to get the Broncos to sign him to a two-year contract extension in the […]

Tyler Bass A Solid Kicking Option For Season Opener

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass is worth starting in most leagues ahead of Week 1 versus the Arizona Cardinals. Although Bass is coming off a down year in which he made just 82.8 percent of his field goals and tied his career-low for extra point attempts, he's still someone worth considering for lineups given the […]

Matt Gay Questionable For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay (hernia) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans.

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater will begin his 18th NFL season when the team takes on the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. Prater is the active leader in career field goals with 401 and is second on the list in career extra points. Last season Prater was 28-for-33 on field goal attempts and made all […]

Cairo Santos A Reliable Fantasy Start In Week 1 Against Titans

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a strong fantasy starter for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans.

The Bears value Santos, as evidenced by their four-year, $16 million contract extension with him last December, including $9.5 million guaranteed. Santos […]

Younghoe Koo Kicks Off Week 1 As A Solid Fantasy Option

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a solid fantasy option in a Week 1 matchup versus the Pittsburgh Steelers.

With the Giants offense projected to struggle […]

Jake Elliott Perfect In Brazil

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott overcame the horrid field conditions in Friday's win over the Green Bay Packers. The veteran made both field goal attempts, successfully draining kicks from 38 yards and 21 yards, respectfully. He also made all four extra-point tries. Elliott, who signed a four-year extension this offseason, was one of the best […]

Joey Slye Avoidable In All Leagues In Week 1

New England Patriots kicker Joey Slye should be left on the waiver wire in fantasy football ahead of his Week 1 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. There are a variety of reasons why Slye is avoidable, starting with the poor state of the Patriots' offense. New England is projected to finish with the NFL's worst […]

Chris Boswell A Risky Option In Week 1

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was extremely steady in 2023 and will hope to find success against the Atlanta Falcons in the first contest of his 10th professional season.

Dustin Hopkins A Middling Option In Week 1

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins will kick off his 2024 season with a home matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1.

Cam Little Not On The Fantasy Radar For Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little is a rookie kicker making his debut for the Jaguars. He was a sixth-round pick, the third kicker taken within nine picks of each other (Will Reichard went 203rd, Joshua Karty went 209th, Little went 212th). Besides potential thunderstorms, the weather should be nice and warm in Miami, which is […]
