No Injury Designation For Matt Prater

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) was limited in practice all week and was removed from the team's final injury report on Friday. Prater returned from his hip injury in Week 8 but was limited to just field goals and extra points. The Cardinals cut Rodrigo Blankenship earlier this week, so it looks as though […]

Eddy Pineiro Will Hope To Bounce Back In Week 9

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro had a rough showing in Week 8, missing potential game-winners in both regulation and overtime. He will look to get back on track in a Week 9 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Pineiro has been mostly consistent this season but his fantasy output has not been prolific. With the Bengals' […]

Jason Sanders Worth Streaming In Week 9

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders is worth streaming in Week 9. As the Dolphins' offense continues to hum along, its kicker should benefit by cleaning up stalled drives with field goals or adding extra points to touchdowns. With that said, there is still room for Sanders to struggle this week. He's going up against a […]

Harrison Butker A Strong Fantasy Kicker For Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is a top-five kicking option for fantasy managers in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee's pass defense has some issues, and the Chiefs should be able to move down the field fairly consistently, which should offer Butker ample chances to kick, whether it be via field goals or […]

Younghoe Koo Has A Favorable Matchup

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo had arguably his best performance this season last week against the Carolina Panthers. The veteran kicker made all three field goal attempts and scored 14 fantasy points in the win. More importantly, last week's performance snapped a cold streak for the veteran. Koo had scored a total of 10 fantasy […]

Matt Prater A Streaming Option In Week 9

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater is a solid streaming option in Week 9, as the Cardinals should be put in a position to put points on the board against an exploitable Seahawks defense. Prater is eight-for-eight this season on field goal attempts but has not attempted a single kick from 50+ yards, as his longest […]

Greg Joseph A Streaming Option In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph is a risky streaming option in Week 9 as he has connected on just one field goal in his last three games. Joseph is one-for-four over that span, as he has been an unreliable option on a weekly basis. He has been perfect on attempts within 49 yards but has […]

Michael Badgley A Boom-Or-Bust Option

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley hasn't made a huge fantasy impact this season, but since the team has one of the best offenses in the NFL, he certainly has upside. That said, Detroit often opts to go for it on fourth down, so his range of outcomes is wide. He should be considered in deep […]

Randy Bullock Not On Fantasy Radar

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock has been far from a high-end fantasy kicker through eight weeks of the season, so he's not a strong option in Tennessee's matchup with Kansas City. With Ryan Tannehill (ankle) banged up, it's likely going to be a lackluster offensive output for the Titans, so Bullock's upside isn't high enough to […]

Mason Crosby A Safe Streaming Option In Week 9

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby will face the Detroit Lions in Week 9. It has been a rough three-week stretch for the veteran kicker, as he has made two of his four field goal attempts and has kicked only six extra point attempts. The Packers have struggled to get into scoring range for the […]

Daniel Carlson Remains An Elite Option Against Jacksonville

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson did not register any point-after tries or field-goal attempts during last Sunday's 24-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Raiders' offense will look to bounce against the Jaguars in Week 9 after being shut out last Sunday against New Orleans. Carlson is a perfect 16-for-16 in field goal […]

Jake Elliott Hits Three Extra Points, Misses Long Field Goal

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all three of his extra point attempts but missed his lone field goal try during the team's 29-17 victory over the Houston Texans. The 27-year-old missed a 54-yard field goal attempt wide right to end the half. It was his first miss of the season that was not blocked. […]

Matt Prater Remains Limited Thursday

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. He has been limited in practice this week and will have one more chance to log a full practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran made both his field goals and extra points in last Sunday's loss to […]

Donald Parham Jr., Dustin Hopkins Miss Practice

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) and kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. Parham was cleared from the concussion protocol and practiced in full on Wednesday, but he apparently picked up a new injury and is in danger of missing the Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons. He's […]

Greg Zuerlein An OK Option In Week 9

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein is an OK option in Week 9 fantasy lineups. With the Jets taking on the Buffalo Bills and their solid defense, Zuerlein could be called on to try some field goals if some drives stall out in the red zone. There's also the chance that the Jets fall behind […]

Jake Elliott A Solid Streaming Option In Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott faces the Houston Texans on the road this Thursday night. The 27-year-old has been perfect on all field goal attempts this year that were not blocked, even though he averages less than two attempts per game. Philadelphia is having little trouble finding the end zone when in scoring range this […]

James Conner, Matt Prater Limited Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) and kicker Matt Prater (hip) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Conner hasn't played since Week 5, and it remains to be seen if he'll play this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks. He'll likely have to practice in full later this week. Darrel Williams (hip) was placed […]

Wil Lutz A Mid-Range Fantasy Option In Week 9

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz's accuracy struggles continued in a Week 8 win over the Las Vegas Raiders as he missed one of his two field goals. Lutz has now made just 12 of his 17 attempts in 2022 while tacking on 19 extra points in as many tries. He will take on the […]

Riley Patterson A Mid-Range Kicker In Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Riley Patterson has made 11 of his 12 field goals and 15 of his 16 extra points in 2022. He will look to keep it going against the Las Vegas Raiders at home in Week 9. The Raiders have been tough on opposing kickers in 2022, allowing the 26th-fewest fantasy points per […]

Marcus Brady Relieved Of His Duties In Indy

The Indianapolis Colts relieved offensive coordinator Marcus Brady of his duties on Tuesday. The move comes a week after the team benched veteran quarterback Matt Ryan as the starter in his first year with the organization. Head coach Frank Reich has been calling the offensive plays in 2022, with Brady working on game-planning and play […]

Cade York Makes 55-Yard Field Goal In Week 8

Cleveland Browns kicker Cade York made one of his two field goals and all three of his extra points in his team's 32-13 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8. York's first field goal was a 53-yard attempt that was blocked by the Bengals, but he later bounced back to make a 55-yarder in […]

Brett Maher Makes Seven Extra Points In A Week 8 Win

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher made all seven of his extra point attempts in a Week 8 blowout win over the Chicago Bears. Maher did not need to attempt a field goal since the Cowboys had no problem getting the ball into the end zone. While Maher had a good game on the field, seven […]

Matt Gay Makes Two Extra Points

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay made two extra points in the Rams' 14-31 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Gay has not kicked more than three extra points in a game since Week 2 and has not made multiple field goals since Week 4. He remains not a quality streaming option going forward.

Robbie Gould Makes One Field Goal, Four Extra Points

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould went 1-for-1 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points in the Niners' 31-14 victory over the Rams. His field goal from 29 yards out made the score 10-14 Rams before halftime. The 49ers would add three more touchdowns with Gould extra points in the second half, and the […]

Eddy Pineiro Costs Panthers Divisional Win In Week 8

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro connected on two of his three field goal attempts as well as two of his three extra point tries in a 37-34 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. DJ Moore was penalized for removing his helmet after a game-tying touchdown, forcing Pineiro to kick a 48-yard extra point that he ultimately […]

Mason Crosby Goes 50/50 On Field-Goal Attempts In Week 8 Loss

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby made one of his two field goal attempts and converted both extra point attempts during the team's 27-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. The 38-year-old missed a 55-yard field goal wide left during the game's closing minutes as the Packers attempted to get within one score […]

Greg Zuerlein Makes Three Kicks In Week 8 Loss

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein made three of his four kicks in a Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots. "The Leg" made both of his extra points and one of his two field goal attempts. His made field goal came from 28 yards out and his missed kick was from 45 yards […]

Brandon McManus Only Attempts Three Extra Points

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus entered the Week 8 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars as a weak option for fantasy managers at the kicker position. We hope you listened, as McManus finished with just three made extra points and didn't attempt a single field goal in the 21-17 victory in London. The 31-year-old is very […]

Jason Sanders Successful In Win Over Lions

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders went 4-for-4 on extra points during Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions. He also converted his lone field-goal attempt, connecting from 45 yards out. Although Sanders struggled earlier this season, he finds himself back on the fantasy radar after kicking quite reliably and accurately. His role in the Dolphins' high-scoring […]
