Broncos Ready For A Tear Down?

NFL Network's James Palmer gets the sense from Denver Broncos players in the locker room after their Week 5 loss to the New York Jets that a potential tear down is coming after getting off to a 1-4 start in 2023. It means that changes to this roster could start happening before the trade deadline […]

Wil Lutz Not A Recommended Kicking Option Versus KC

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz checks in tied for 14th in terms of overall fantasy points at his position through the first five weeks of the season on the back of eight made field goals on nine attempts while going 11 for 12 on his extra-point tries. He hasn't missed a kick since missing a […]

Bill Belichick On The Hot Seat?

There is a school of thought that suggests New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has earned the right to go out on his own accord, but owner Robert Kraft doesn't subscribe to that thinking, writes The Athletic's Jeff Howe. Belichick is pursuing Don Shula's all-time wins record, but over the last two weeks, Belichick […]

Giants Offensive Line Could Get Dominated Again

The New York Giants offensive line was absolutely embarrassed in the Monday night loss to the Seattle Seahawks to close out Week 4 when they allowed 11 sacks on quarterback Daniel Jones. Something similar could transpire on Sunday in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins with offensive guard Shane Lemieux (groin), center John Michael Schmitz […]

Week 5 Kicker Rankings for Fantasy Football: Daniel Carlson, Brandon Aubrey, Brett Maher, Riley Patterson, Ka'imi Fairbairn

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to more fantasy football rankings. Week 5 is officially here, and the Bucs, Chargers, Seahawks, and Browns are on the bye. We are back with our NFL team's updated Week 5 fantasy football kicker rankings as of October 7th for fantasy leagues that still use kickers. We are here to help you set those […]

Matt Prater A Week 5 Fantasy Sleeper?

In Week 5, fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater as he lines up against the Cincinnati Bengals. Prater has been excellent over the first four weeks of the season, boasting a total of 36 fantasy points and missing only one of 15 total attempts. His powerful kicks combined […]

Brett Maher Continues To Be A Top Option

Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher is the No. 2 overall kicker through the first four weeks. Maher has attempted more field goals than any other kicker this season. The 33-year-old has made 12 of 16 field-goal attempts and is 8-for-8 on extra-point tries. The Rams have proved to consistently be able to get down […]

Jake Moody A Risky Play In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody has started his career so far with a perfect body of work, hitting all nine field goal attempts and all 15 extra point tries. While he has shown in quick order that he is worthy of starter consideration most weeks, fantasy managers may want to look elsewhere when the […]

Jason Sanders Shows Mid-Level Appeal In Week 5

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders didn't attempt any field goals for the second straight week in Week 4 while knocking down both of his extra-point attempts. He's currently 4-for-6 on field goals for the season so far and 18-for-19 on extra points. Week 5 should be more of a return to normalcy after the offense […]

Greg Zuerlein Hopes To Bounce Back In Week 5

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein missed a 52-yard field goal in Week 4 but will look to improve in a Week 5 matchup against the Denver Broncos. While the Broncos' defense has struggled mightily this season, it is still far from a guarantee that New York's offense will be able to move the ball […]

Anders Carlson A Floor Play In Week 5

Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson will go on the road to take on the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night. The rookie attempted multiple field goals for the first time this season last week against the Detroit Lions, putting up his second-highest fantasy performance so far. With that said, this matchup against Las Vegas […]

Chad Ryland Not A Strong Option For Week 5

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland can be left on fantasy football waivers for Week 5. The Patriots are looking to bounce back against the New Orleans Saints, and while they could absolutely do so, that doesn't guarantee success for Ryland. The rookie kicker is 5-for-5 on extra points but just 4-for-7 on field goals […]

Greg Joseph A Risky Streaming Option Versus Chiefs

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph will look to keep his perfect start to the season going in Week 5, as he has connected on both of his field goal attempts and all 12 extra-point attempts through four games. Although reliable when called upon, Joseph hasn't got much of an opportunity to put points on the […]

Chris Boswell Remains Uninteresting For Fantasy In Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell has drilled all of his field goal attempts and extra-point tries so far this season and will look to stay perfect in a divisional matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Unfortunately for Boswell, Pittsburgh's offense has struggled to sustain drives and is unlikely to turn things around this week against a […]

Justin Tucker Should See More Attempts In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker hasn't been as great of a fantasy option as he normally has been in recent seasons through four weeks. He has posted one double-digit fantasy performance and didn't see a single field goal attempt last week despite making four extra points. In a divisional rivalry matchup against the Steelers, however, […]

Consider Starting Blake Grupe In Week 5

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe has only missed one field goal in his career, although it came at an inopportune time as it would have given the Saints a late lead in Week 3. This week, New Orleans travels to New England to take on the Patriots in what is expected to be a […]

Ka’imi Fairbairn An Emerging Kicker Entering Week 5

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn will look to continue his strong season in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons. Fairbairn went a perfect 7-for-7 on kicks last week, including a 3-for-3 showing on field goals. The Texans kicker has now made 11-of-12 field goals and 9-of-9 extra points to begin 2023. Fairbairn's strong play has […]

Younghoe Koo Hopeful To Bounce Back In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is looking to bounce back after a quiet day in Week 4. Koo didn't attempt a field goal and made his only extra point attempt in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. Koo has been a reliable option, but the lack of opportunities is hurting his fantasy value. […]

Wil Lutz A Sleeper Streaming Option At Kicker

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz missed a field goal and an extra point in his debut with the team in the season opener, but since then he's made all five of his field-goal attempts and all nine of his extra-point tries in three games. Heading into Week 5 against the New York Jets in Denver, […]

Nick Folk Has Streaming Value In Week 5

Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk has made all 10 of his field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point attempts through four games this season. The veteran looks confident from any distance, making him an intriguing Week 5 streaming option. The 38-year-old ranks sixth in total fantasy points (43) at the position after finishing last […]

Brandon Aubrey A Safe Bet In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is a safe bet at a very unpredictable fantasy position for Week 5. The Cowboys take on the San Francisco 49ers, which should prove to be a defensive battle where both teams could rely more on field goals than touchdowns. Aubrey has made all 13 of his field goal tries […]

Riley Patterson Not Worth Starting In Week 5

Detroit Lions kicker Riley Patterson is set to face the Carolina Panthers in Week 5, and although the Lions are expected to put up plenty of points in this contest, the 24-year-old is not on the fantasy radar. Patterson has scored just 28 fantasy points this season (23rd), and Detroit has attempted fourth down conversions […]

Jake Elliott A Top-Tier Option Against Los Angeles

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5. The top fantasy kicker of the season through four weeks, Elliott already has 13 field goals, more than half of his 2022 total, and made four last week against the Commanders. Four of his attempts […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Approaching Starting Status

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has been sharp in his seventh NFL season, and he'll look to continue that at home in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fairbairn went a perfect 7-for-7 on kicks last week, including 3-for-3 on field goal attempts. The Texans kicker now ranks tied for fifth with eight field goals […]

Chad Ryland Remains Off Fantasy Radar In Week 4

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland is not a viable fantasy option for Week 4 versus the Dallas Cowboys. The rookie simply hasn't seen enough volume to justify rostering him in fantasy leagues. As the Patriots head into a tough matchup with Dallas, their offensive stagnation could persist. To make matters worse, Ryland missed two […]
