Wil Lutz Has Mediocre Day In Big Win Over Chiefs
The Denver Broncos offense was too efficient in their 38-0 blowout win over the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in the Week 18 regular-season finale, which limited kicker Wil Lutz's upside for fantasy managers. With a Chiefs defense resting pretty much all of their top players for the playoffs, they provided little resistance, and […]
Bears, Saints, Jets Expected To Interview Lions' Aaron Glenn For Head Coach
Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is expected to land interviews with the Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints, and New York Jets for their head-coaching vacancies.

Jake Elliott Will Look To Rebound After 39-Yard Miss
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott connected on two of three field goal attempts and converted both extra-point tries in the team's 20-13 win over the New York Giants.

Bengals Fire Defensive Coordinator Lou Anarumo
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Cincinnati Bengals have fired their defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo on Monday.

Jaguars Move On From Doug Pederson, Trent Baalke Stays
According to Ian Rapoport, the Jacksonville Jaguars have fired head coach Doug Pederson after a disappointing 4-13 season. In three seasons with the Jaguars, Pederson led them to the playoffs once and finished with an overall record of 23-30. Pederson seemed to acknowledge that the firing was coming, so the team will look for their […]
Cameron Dicker Makes Six Kicks In Week 18 Win
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker made six of his seven kicks in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Dicker made both of his extra point tries and four of his five field goal attempts. He made field goals from 33, 32, 49, and 20 yards away. His miss was on a […]

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty made all four of his field goal attempts against the Seahawks in Week 18 and converted his only extra-point attempt as well.

Eddy Pineiro Has A Perfect Afternoon Against The Falcons
Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro went 5-for-5 on extra points and made his one field goal attempt from 35 yards in the Panthers' 44-38 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Over the past four games, Pineiro has not seen the volume fantasy managers are looking for in their kickers, with only three field goal attempts. Week […]
Jaguars Could Be Forced To Go With Complete Overhaul
FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz reports that there is a league-wide understanding that a complete overhaul, including parting ways with general manager Trent Baalke, is necessary for the Jacksonville Jaguars to attract top coaching candidates, according to sources. There was a belief a few weeks ago that the Jaguars might retain Baalke, but apparently the organization's […]
Matthew Wright A Deep Streamer In Week 18
Tennessee Titans kicker Matthew Wright is not a household name in fantasy football, but he should generate some buzz on the waiver wire in deep leagues. Wright is replacing Nick Folk (abdomen) for the second week in a row, and as he takes on the Houston Texans this Sunday, he'll look to build on last […]
Tyler Bass Tougher To Trust Amidst Personnel Uncertainty
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass has a lower floor in Week 18 given the expectation that many of his teammates will play a limited number of snaps. The Bills have already secured the AFC's No. 2 seed, and that won't change with the outcome of Sunday's contest against the New England Patriots. As a result, […]
Cade York Rebounds In Bengals' Big Win
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York had a perfect night Saturday in Pittsburgh, converting all four field goal attempts and his lone extra point in a 19-17 victory that kept the Bengals' playoff hopes alive.

Chris Boswell Hits 54-Yarder In Week 18 Loss
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell nailed his only field goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries in a 19-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Boswell's field goal, a 54-yarder, came in crunch time with Pittsburgh down by five points with fewer than three minutes remaining in the contest. Unfortunately, the Steelers were unable to […]
Matt Gay A Fringe Fantasy Starter In Season Finale
Indianapolis Colts placekicker Matt Gay will be a fringe top option in Week 18 when his team hosts the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars. The sixth-year pro has been excellent in his second season with the Colts -- hammering home all 31 extra-point attempts and missing just five field goals. It starkly contrasts his 2023 season when […]
Dustin Hopkins Makes One FG In Season Finale
Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins made his lone field-goal attempt, a 23-yarder, and added an extra point in a 35-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18. Although Hopkins finished a tough 2024 season on a high note, he overall made just 18 of his 27 field-goal attempts for the Browns this past season. […]
Riley Patterson A Top-12 Option Vs. Carolina
Atlanta Falcons kicker Riley Patterson is a solid fantasy option this weekend in his team's divisional clash with the visiting Carolina Panthers. The 25-year-old has been fine since taking over the Falcons kicking job for an injured Younghoe Koo (hip). In four appearances this season, Patterson has been automatic on his 11 XP attempts but […]
Brandon McManus A Solid Week 18 Play
Green Bay Packers placekicker Brandon McManus is an excellent option this weekend when his team squares off with the visiting Chicago Bears in Week 18. The twelfth-year pro has been exceptional since taking over the Packers' kicking job in Week 7 -- driving through all 29 extra-point tries and missing just one of his 18 […]
Jason Sanders A Sneaky Start For Week 18
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders has been the hottest kicker in all football throughout the second half of the season.

Cade York A Borderline Starting Kicking Option For Saturday
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York will be a borderline starting kicking option for fantasy managers with the Bengals trying to keep their faint playoff hopes alive with a win on Saturday against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in the Week 18 regular-season finale. The 23-year-old missed a 33-yarder in overtime last Saturday in […]
Cam Little A Solid Kicking Option In Week 18
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little should have at least a decent outing in the final week of the season against the Indianapolis Colts. The rookie kicker has had a solid season overall and will look to finish his first season strong. Along with many other players on the team, this game is more about auditioning […]
Harrison Butker To Kick In Denver For Season Finale
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Denver Broncos in Week 18. Butker knocked through his only field goal attempt in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chiefs kicker also nailed two extra-point attempts in that contest. Butker will now face the Broncos in Denver. Given the strength of the Broncos defense […]
Wil Lutz A Top-10 Kicker For Week 18 Against Chiefs
Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz hasn't missed a kick since the Week 10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He'll take on the Chiefs again in the Week 18 regular-season finale as the Broncos look to punch their ticket to the postseason for the first time since the 2015 season. Since Lutz's potential game-winning kick […]
Brandon Aubrey Can Be Started In Week 18
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is coming off of a rough outing in which he made his lone extra point attempt but missed his lone field goal attempt in a blowout loss to Philadelphia.
