Brandon Aubrey - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is a solid choice in Week 2 fantasy lineups. Aubrey's NFL debut in Week 1 went well, as he made four of his five extra point attempts and both of his field goal tries. The Cowboys might not score another 40 points this week, but they should still find themselves […]
Cameron Dicker - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is a solid choice in Week 2 fantasy lineups. Dicker was perfect in Week 1, nailing all four of his extra point attempts and both of his field goal tries.

Younghoe Koo - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo converted all three extra point attempts and nailed a 49-yard field goal in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers.

Nick Folk - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk led the position in fantasy points last week, connecting on all five of his field goal attempts in the loss to the New Orleans Saints. However, it's too early to push him up the weekly fantasy rankings after one game. The Titans' offense could stall out near the red zone […]
Riley Patterson - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Detroit Lions kicker Riley Patterson did not attempt a field goal in the Week 1 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, but he does have upside in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Last week, Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher attempted three extra points and five field goals against Seattle. If Patterson is set […]
Graham Gano Dealing With Ankle Injury
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph made his lone field goal, a 25-yarder, in a Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Jake Elliott - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will face the Minnesota Vikings in the team's home opener on Thursday night. After a phenomenal Week 1 where the 28-year-old hit four field goals (two from over 50 yards out), he will now face the Minnesota Vikings in a potentially high-scoring affair. After putting up low-end fantasy numbers last […]

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein drilled all three of his field goal attempts and was successful on his lone extra-point try in a 22-16 win over the Buffalo Bills.

Brett Maher Misses Two Field Goals In Win Over Seahawks
Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher struggled at the end of last season with the Dallas Cowboys, and his struggles continued in the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Maher made all three of his extra point attempts but missed two of his five field goal tries in his Rams debut. The Rams' offense […]
Chad Ryland Makes Two Extra Points In Debut
New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland made both of his extra point attempts in the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie did not attempt a field goal in his NFL debut. For now, he's not worth starting in fantasy lineups. If the New England offense ascends during the 2023 season and sets […]
Jason Myers Hits Two Field Goals In Week 1
Kicker Jason Myers converted field goal attempts from 36 and 42 yards in the Seattle Seahawks Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Myers had one other attempt from 39 yards out, but it hit off the right upright and did not go through for a score. The 32-year-old veteran also converted the point […]

Cameron Dicker Has A Perfect Week 1
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker had a perfect Week 1 performance, making all four of his extra points and two field goals. His field goals came from 25 and 50 yards out, with the 50 yarder setting a new career long for "Dicker the Kicker". Locked into a strong offensive team, Dicker should return […]
Ka'imi Fairbairn Goes 3-For-3 In Week 1
Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn went 3-for-3 on field goals in Sunday's 25-9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Fairbairn got his first opportunity late in the first half, when he converted on a 35-yard attempt. Then he nailed a 38-yard attempt to end the half and a 36-yard try in the fourth quarter.

Prater nailed three field goals on the day, capping off the performance with a 54-yarder in the second quarter. Prater also capped off his day by nailing the extra point from the […]
Wil Lutz Misses Field Goal And Extra Point
Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz didn't endear himself to the Broncos faithful in his team debut in the Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. And in a game in which the Broncos lost by just one point by a score of 17-16, Lutz's missed field goal and missed extra point loomed […]
Graham Gano Puts Up Goose Egg In Week 1
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano had one kick blocked and missed on a second attempt in the team's 40-0 Week 1 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The 36-year-old may not be to blame for either, as the snap on his miss wasn't perfect. He also did not get a chance to attempt an extra […]
Jake Moody Makes Good On All Opportunities In Season Opener
San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody made all three of his field goal tries and hit all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 30-7 win at the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Evan McPherson Not Productive Versus Cleveland
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson nailed a 42-yard field goal during the loss to Cleveland on Sunday. However, he missed his following try on the next series. In all fairness, McPherson was the only person who put points on the board for the struggling Bengals offense, and the weather conditions weren't ideal, either. While the […]
Blake Grupe Has A Perfect Debut
New Orleans Saints rookie kicker Blake Grupe started his season off strong with a 16-15 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The Notre Dame product went 3-for-3 on field goals and was also perfect (1-for-1) on extra points. Grupe banged through a 52-yarder in the third quarter, rounding out his perfect kicking debut. He should be […]
