Joshua Karty Could Be Busy Against Lions

Los Angeles Rams rookie kicker Joshua Karty will be put to the test early in his career in a hostile environment Sunday night against the Lions. The Stanford rookie, who was drafted in the sixth round of the 2024 Draft, figures to be involved heavily in a game that could be a shootout. He should […]

Nick Folk Better Left Out Of Lineups For Week 1

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk will start the season in Chicago taking on the Bears in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season. Folk was the #19 kicker last year but the ranking wasn't emblematic of his effectiveness. It was a career-year for the 39-year old veteran, who finished first in the NFL with a […]

Matt Gay Not Seen At Friday's Practice

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay (hernia) was not seen at Friday's practice, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. This is not a great sign for the 30-year-old who has not logged one practice, which puts his status for Week 1 in danger. Gay underwent a sports hernia procedure after the team's final preseason game […]

Blake Grupe Offers Upside In Strong Matchup

New Orleans Saints' second-year kicker Blake Grupe is an option at the kicker position heading into Week 1's tout with the Carolina Panthers. Grupe had a solid rookie season, converting 30-of-37 field goal attempts with a long of 55 yards. The Notre Dame product finished the season strong and will look to carry over his […]

Jake Elliott - Week 1 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: K1 ANALYSIS: Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott went 30-for-32 on field goal attempts last season and a near-perfect 45-for-46 on extra points en route to finishing as the No.6 kicker in PPR scoring last season. Last fall he continued a common trend where he was excellent […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Strong Candidate To Finish As Week 1's Top Scoring Kicker

As the kicker on one of the NFL's better offenses, Houston's Ka'imi Fairbairn is a low-end K1 in Week 1 for the Texans' matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Fairbairn missed five games last season due to a quad injury but was excellent when he played. Fairbairn logged five top-five finishes in 12 games, including K1 […]

Jason Myers A Solid Option In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is a solid option in fantasy in Week 1. The Seahawks offense should have plenty of chances to score on Sunday against a middle-of-the-road Broncos defense. Myers was the K6 in 2023 and should be able to pick up where he left off. He is an incredibly accurate kicker and […]

Cade York Looking To Claim Starting Role

Washington Commanders kicker Cade York joined the Commanders during the last week of August in exchange for a late-round pick, making him the new starting kicker. The Commanders opened the preseason with Riley Patterson and Ramiz Ahmed on their roster, but both failed to make the final cut after they missed several attempts. Last season, […]

Cameron Dicker Looks To Start Hot In Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker, fresh off signing a contract extension, will look for a hot start in a Week 1 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Dicker ended up as the overall K10 in fantasy last season, scoring 7.5 fantasy points per game. He made 31 of his 33 field goal attempts and […]

Brandon Aubrey Looking For A Strong Start In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey was excellent in his rookie season last year and will look for another strong year in his sophomore season. Aubrey entered the last game of the season last year a perfect 35-for-35 before missing two in his final game. He still ended up with 49 extra points and finished as […]

Chase McLaughlin Upgraded To Full Participation On Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin (abdomen) was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday, according to Brianna Dix. McLaughlin missed practice on Wednesday due to an abdomen injury and an illness. However, seeing him return to full participation the following day is a great sign for his status in the season opener […]

Jason Sanders An Excellent Week 1 Play

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders is a top option heading into the Dolphins' home opening tilt against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Sanders is near-automatic from under 40 yards in his career, connecting on 95% of his kicks (79-of-83). He gets a bit sketchier from there on out and is a combined 71-of-97 from 40+. However, the […]

Brayden Narveson Ready To Debut For Packers In Week 1 Against Eagles

Green Bay Packers kicker Brayden Narveson will put on a Packers uniform for the first time in a very unique way: playing in a regular season opener in Brazil against the Philadelphia Eagles. Narveson spent his preseason with the Tennessee Titans and was released a little over a week ago after losing the kicking competition […]

Matt Gay Misses Another Practice

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay (hernia) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday after recently undergoing surgery for a sports hernia. The fact that Gay has yet to practice so far this week is a sign that he's not going to be available to kick in the Week 1 regular-season opener this Sunday […]

Updated Kicker Fantasy Football Rankings: Week 1 - Jake Elliott, Jason Meyers, Matt Gay, Ka'imi Fairbairn, Jason Sanders, Tyler Bass, Younghoe Koo, more

Rarely do fantasy managers get excited about kickers, but the 2024 NFL season opens with a matchup of arguably the two best kickers in the NFL. Kansas City's Harrison Butker and Baltimore's Justin Tucker have been strong fantasy options for years, and they should remain top scorers among kickers in 2024. However, the position as […]

Will Reichard Solid Option At Kicker In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard makes his NFL debut on the road against the New York Giants. Successful kicker plays are often ones on somewhat competent offenses against below-average defenses, and that perfect storm is scheduled to happen in MetLife Stadium this week. The Vikings should be able to move the ball well with the […]

Justin Tucker Remains A Top Kicking Option

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker continues to stick at the top of the kicking ranks heading into his 13th season in the NFL. The Texas product finished as the second-best fantasy kicker last year in what turned out to be more of a down year for the league's most accurate kicker. He made the third-most […]

Harrison Butker Looking To Stay Perfect

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will play against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season. This matchup will put two of the best kickers in the league against one another. Justin Tucker and Harrison Butker finished last season with 32 and 33 field goals, respectively, but Butker edged Tucker in […]

Chase McLaughlin Misses Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin (abdomen/illness) did not practice on Wednesday. McLaughlin hit on 93.5% of his field goal attempts in 2023 and was rewarded with a three-year contract extension.

Matt Gay Had Hernia Surgery, Could Miss Week 1

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay (hernia) said he underwent surgery for a sports hernia, which is why he's not taking part in the team's first official practice on Wednesday. Gay had something flare up after the team's preseason contest against the Cincinnati Bengals and could be trending toward missing Week 1 of the regular season […]

Jake Elliott Looks To Build On Strong 2023 Campaign

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will travel to Brazil to take on the Green Bay Packers in the team's regular season opener on Friday night. The 29-year-old signed a four-year, $24 million extension this past offseason, making him tied for the highest paid kicker annually with Baltimore's Justin Tucker. Elliott deserved every bit of the […]

Justin Tucker Has His Contract Restructured

The Baltimore Ravens restructured the contract of All-Pro kicker Justin Tucker on Tuesday, in addition to defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike and linebacker Roquan Smith, to create $9.3 million in salary cap space for the 2024 season.

Matt Gay Up In The Air For Week 1 With Hamstring Injury
