Ka’imi Fairbairn A Solid Start In Week 18

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is a solid kicker in a Week 18 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Lucas Havrisik A Solid Week 17 Option

Los Angeles Rams kicker Lucas Havrisik has remained the team's starting kicker despite struggles. Since becoming a starter in Week 8, Havrisik has made 15 of his 20 field goal attempts and 17 of his 18 extra-point tries.

Ka’imi Fairbairn A Low-End Kicker Option in Week 17

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn will look to score more fantasy points in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans.

Stroud (concussion) back at quarterback, the Texans' kicker should earn more opportunities in the kicking game on Sunday. […]

Jason Sanders Carries Streaming Value In Week 17

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders has been on a bit of a hot streak since starting the season off very slowly.

After two double-digit […]

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz disappointed fantasy managers that started him in the Week 16 loss to the New England Patriots in a game in which he made just one extra point and missed his lone field-goal try.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker delivered another double-digit fantasy performance in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro made his lone field goal and hit one of his three extra points in a loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Pineiro has now made 25 of his 29 field goals and 17 of 20 extra points for the Panthers in 2023. In Week 17 he will […]
