Jason Sanders Hard To Trust Despite Favorable Matchup

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders isn't an extremely appealing fantasy option in Week 12 against the Houston Texans. Despite the favorable matchup and potential for Miami to score plenty of points, Sanders' production as of late has been relatively underwhelming. The 27-year-old missed two extra points in Week 10 and whiffed on a field goal […]

Brett Maher Misses Field Goal On Thanksgiving

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher went 4-for-4 on extra point attempts during Thursday's win over the New York Giants. However, he did miss his lone field goal try from 46 yards out.

Matthew Wright Not A Strong Fantasy Option In Week 12

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Matthew Wright has made five of his seven field goals over the past two games.

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley made both of his extra point attempts but missed one of his two field goal attempts in the 28-25 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Robbie Gould Has Plus Matchup In Week 12

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould is a possible streaming option in Week 12 when he takes on the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are allowing 8.6 kicking points per game, fifth-most in the NFL.

Avoid Wil Lutz In Week 12

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz has been perfect on kicking the last three weeks, going 5-for-5 on field goals and 6-for-6 on extra points. Lutz may not see many field-goal or extra-point opportunities this week against a stifling San Francisco 49ers defense that has surrendered over 19 points just twice this season. Look elsewhere […]

Michael Badgley Has Some Upside In Week 12

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley always has a chance to boom in fantasy football tied to a solid Lions' offense, but since head coach Dan Campbell loves to be aggressive and go for it on fourth down, his kicking opportunities are sometimes limited. The Lions could put up plenty of points against the Buffalo Bills, […]

Graham Gano Primed To Bounce Back In Week 12

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano is poised to bounce back in Week 12 versus the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday. The experienced kicker missed both of his extra-point tries in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions while he didn't attempt a single field goal in the 31-18 loss. It was the first game that Gano […]

Robbie Gould Kicks Five PATs And One Field Goal In Win

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould made a field goal and five extra points in the Niners' 38-10 drubbing of the Arizona Cardinals.

Wil Lutz Pulls Together Strong Performance in Week 11

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz put together a perfect kicking day in the 27-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Lutz went three-for-three on extra points and added a perfect two-for-two on field goals (46, 25). Lutz should continue to be a boom-bust option at kicker, living and dying with the on-off […]

Evan McPherson Nets Three Fields Goals In Win

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson made all three field goal attempts and all four extra-point attempts in the 37-30 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
