Greg Zuerlein Can Be Started Against Chargers

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein drilled both of his field goal attempts and was successful on his lone extra-point try of an overtime victory against the New York Giants in Week 8. He'll hope to carry this momentum into a Week 9 bout with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers have not been particularly […]

Jake Elliott A Top-10 Option In Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will face off against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. The 28-year-old got back on track last week, converting all five of his extra point attempts and converting a field goal from over 50 yards away. He will now face a Dallas defense that has done well keeping opposing offenses […]

Eddy Pineiro A Mid-Range Option Against Colts

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro made all three of his field goals and added an extra point in his team's win over the Houston Texans in Week 8. He will look to stay hot at home against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. The Colts have struggled against kickers in 2023 as they are allowing […]

Ka’imi Fairbairn A Solid Kicker Option In Week 9

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has been almost perfect this season, and he'll look to continue that in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fairbairn didn't see many opportunities last week, kicking just one extra point in the game. His one fantasy point was the lowest of the season for the Texans kicker. However, […]

Cameron Dicker A Strong Kicking Option In Week 9

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is a strong kicking option in all fantasy formats in Week 9. The Chargers will be taking on the New York Jets who, despite featuring one of the better defenses in the league, have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers. "Dicker the Kicker" has been very accurate, […]

Giants Bring In Another Kicker In Cade York

The New York Giants are signing kicker Cade York off the Tennessee Titans practice squad on Friday. Head coach Brian Daboll said on Thursday that Graham Gano (knee) will be placed on Injured Reserve, and the G-Men also signed veteran kicker Randy Bullock on Thursday. Bullock and York will now compete for the starting kicking […]

Chad Ryland Off Fantasy Radar Despite Favorable Matchup

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland should be avoided in fantasy football ahead of Week 9 versus the Washington Commanders. While Washington's suspect defense has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers, Ryland has been a bottom-of-the-barrel option at the position this year. The rookie is just 9-for-13 on field goals and […]

Blake Grupe Is A Viable Week 9 Option

New Orleans Saints rookie kicker Blake Grupe has been a consistently solid kicker option this season, currently ranked eighth in fantasy points. Grupe will have another opportunity to produce a viable scoring week against the Chicago Bears in Week 9, who have allowed the ninth-most points per game to opposing kickers. Grupe was perfect on […]

Younghoe Koo A Viable Option For Week 9

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo was quiet to start the season, but has seen an increased workload lately. The veteran kicker has made three field goals in back-to-back games. He should continue to be involved during the Week 9 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The Falcons offense should get plenty of chances to do something […]

Daniel Carlson Remains Limited In Practice

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson (groin) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice. The 28-year-old entered last week with a groin injury, but played through the issue. It's possible that he does it again, but groin issues have a tendency to be tricky. Right now, it seems like the Raiders are being cautious with […]

Graham Gano Going On Injured Reserve, Giants Signing Randy Bullock

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) will have surgery on his left knee and will be placed on Injured Reserve. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Giants are signing former Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock to their practice squad, pending a physical, according to sources. Bullock was with the Giants in 2016. New York […]

Graham Gano Still On The Injury Report

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice for the second straight day due to a left-knee injury. Gano has played the last two games with the injury, so it's safe to assume he will be active in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders, albeit likely at less than 100 […]

Brandon Aubrey A Good Option For Week 9 Lineups

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is a good option for Week 9 fantasy lineups. The Cowboys face the Eagles in what should be a high-scoring game, and Aubrey has done well with his consistency this season. He's coming off an 11 fantasy point performance in which he made all five extra points and both field […]

Raiders Fire Offensive Coordinator Mick Lombardi

In addition to firing head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler, the Las Vegas Raiders fired offensive coordinator Mick Lombardi on Wednesday. Interim head coach Antonio Pierce announced quickly that the team is benching quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in favor of rookie Aidan O'Connell moving forward, starting in Week 9 against the New York […]

Daniel Carlson Limited By Groin Ailment

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson (groin) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice due to a right-groin injury. Carlson was in danger of missing the Monday night game against the Detroit Lions in Week 8, but he ultimately suited up. The 28-year-old booter wasn't afforded a field-goal try and made both of his extra […]

Chris Boswell Can Be Considered In Week 9

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell converted on one of his two field goal attempts and drilled his lone extra-point try in a Week 8 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Boswell missed a 61-yard field goal after his successful 55-yard kick was nullified by a penalty. He'll look to bounce back on Thursday Night Football against […]

Graham Gano Limited On Wednesday

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) put in a limited practice on Wednesday while dealing with a left-knee injury. Gano missed two of his three field-goal tries in a three-point overtime loss to the New York Jets in Week 8. It's a good sign that the 36-year-old veteran kicker is practicing again this week […]

Nick Folk A Sneaky Start In Week 9

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk has yet to miss an extra point or field goal attempt this season on 28 total tries. He ranks eighth among kickers in fantasy points per game this season and is set to play on Thursday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rookie quarterback Will Levis might continue to give […]

Raiders Fire Josh McDaniels, Dave Ziegler

The Las Vegas Raiders fired head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler on Tuesday night, according to sources. The move comes on Halloween night after the Raiders lost 26-14 on Monday Night Football to the Detroit Lions to drop to 3-5 on the year. "After much thought about what the Raiders need to […]

Daniel Carlson Will Kick Against Lions On Monday Night

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson (groin), who was listed as questionable for the Monday night game against the Detroit Lions, will kick for the team to close out Week 8, according to a league source. The Raiders promoted kicker James McCourt from the practice squad for Monday's game in case Carlson was unable to […]

Broncos Not Shopping Anyone

With the NFL trade deadline quickly approaching on Tuesday, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said, "We're not remotely shopping anyone." It was reported last week that the Broncos weren't going to have a fire sale this month, but that they would listen to offers. Apparently they haven't gotten any offers to their liking to […]

Lucas Havrisik Worth A Pickup If Kicker-Needy

Los Angeles Rams kicker Lucas Havrisik will now take on duties after the team released Brett Maher. Maher missed two crucial field goals in Week 7 and the team decided it was time to make a change. Havrisik has yet to play in an NFL regular season game but will get to showcase his talents […]

Frank Ragnow Battling Multiple Injuries

Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow (toe, calf) isn't expected to practice on Saturday, marking what would be his third consecutive absence. He may work "on the side." However, head coach Dan Campbell said it's "tough" to tell if the 27-year-old would play in Monday's meeting with the Raiders. Ragnow, a multi-time Pro-Bowler, is considered one […]

Justin Tucker Still Trustworthy In Week 8

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker put together a couple of solid weeks and is back inside the top 12 fantasy kickers. In Week 7, he made his only field goal attempt from 32 yards out. He also made all five of his extra-point attempts. If the offense can look as fluid as it did against […]

Graham Gano Not A Strong Kicker Candidate For Week 8

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and has no injury designation for this weekend. As the offense struggles, Gano's attempts have fluctuated. In Week 7, he saw just one field goal try, which he missed. In fact, the veteran has missed four field goals through seven games. […]

Dustin Hopkins A Solid Option In Week 8

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins had a big game in a Week 7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Hopkins hit all four of his field goals, including three from 50+ yards out. The Browns have kept him busy in 2023 as Hopkins' 16 made field goals tie him for second-most in the league. Cleveland will […]

Eddy Pineiro A Mid-Range Kicker In Week 8

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro comes out of his bye in Week 7 to face off against the Houston Texans in Week 8. The last time Pineiro took the field, he missed his lone field-goal try and hit all three of his extra points back in a Week 6 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The […]
