Nick Folk Drills Five Field Goals In Win Over Jets

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk went a perfect 5-for-5 and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 22-17 win over the New York Jets. He made field goal attempts from 31, 42, 49, 45, and 52 yards out in Sunday's victory. It was the second time this season that Folk drilled five field goals […]

Graham Gano Makes Both Field-Goal Attempts In Week 8 Loss

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano converted both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8. The experienced kicker made the two field-goal attempts, including a 45-yard field goal, and he made the lone extra-point try for the Giants. The 35-year-old kicker continues to be one of the […]

Nick Sciba Makes Two Field Goals In NFL Debut Vs. Eagles

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Nick Sciba made both of his field goals and tacked on an extra point in a 35-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8. After setting an NCAA record for field-goal accuracy at Wake Forest, Sciba went undrafted before spending some time with the Steelers this past training camp. They needed […]

Jake Elliott Converts Five Extra Points In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott converted all five of his extra point attempts during the team's 35-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8. It was the first time this season the 27-year-old did not attempt a field goal, but Philadelphia had little trouble finding the end zone once they were in scoring range […]

Randy Bullock Makes One Of Two Field-Goal Attempts

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock made just one of his two field goal attempts in the win over the Houston Texans. He made both of his extra point attempts set up by Derrick Henry touchdowns, but he ultimately was not a strong fantasy play in Week 8. The Titans' offense isn't explosive and head coach […]

Younghoe Koo Nails Game-Winner

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo scored 14 fantasy points in the team's 37-34 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. The veteran kicker had struggled for fantasy players, scoring 10 total fantasy points over the previous three games. However, the former undrafted free-agent kicker made all three field goal attempts in Week 8, including a […]

Greg Joseph Makes Four Extra Points In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph had his only field goal attempt blocked, and made four of five extra point attempts in the team's 34-26 win over the Cardinals. Joseph has been reliable kicking within 40 yards this season but is now one for six when kicking from 50+ yards. The 28-year-old is nothing more than […]

Matt Prater Perfect In Return To Action

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater made both of his field goal attempts and both extra-point attempts in his return to action in Week 8. His longest make came from 44 yards out, as he didn't miss a beat despite limited action in this one. Moving forward, Prater looks like a reliable streaming option, but he […]

Michael Badgley Makes All Five Kicks

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley made both of his field goal attempts and all three of his extra points, so it was a solid fantasy output for the veteran. If the Lions' offense gets back to where it was during the first month of the season, Badgley could have big fantasy days moving forward. For […]

Riley Patterson Makes Lone Field-Goal Attempt In Week 8 Defeat

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Riley Patterson was able to convert the lone field-goal attempt he received in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Denver Broncos. The second-year kicker made a 37-yard field goal while also knocking through both of his extra-point tries. After making three-plus field goals in two of his first three games of the season, […]

Darrel Williams, Matt Prater Active Against Vikings

Arizona Cardinals running back Darrel Williams (knee) and kicker Matt Prater (hip) are both active for the Week 8 contest against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Williams will return from a two-game absence and James Conner (ribs) remains out. However, Eno Benjamin has been solid as the team's lead back the last two weeks with […]

Evan McPherson May See More Action In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson wasn't needed during Sunday's win over Atlanta, as the 23-year-old didn't log a single field goal attempt. However, with Ja'Marr Chase (hip) unavailable for up to six weeks, McPherson could see more action if Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense struggle to adjust moving ahead. He is usually a must-start […]

Michael Badgley Signs With Lions

The Detroit Lions have signed kicker Michael Badgley to their active roster. The 27-year-old has spent each of the last two weeks on the practice squad. Now, it appears the team will officially sign Badgley. He was perfect on his kicks last week and appears to be a reliable option. However, the Lions offense hasn't […]

Chris Boswell Ruled Out For Week 8

The Pittsburgh Steelers ruled out kicker Chris Boswell (groin) for the Week 8 game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to his groin injury. Boswell was listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, but he's now been downgraded and won't kick on Sunday. The 31-year-old apparently injured his groin at practice later in the week, […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Has Some Upside In Week 8

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn started the year hot, not missing a single kick in his first three games. He's missed two of them in the last three games, so there's definitely a little concern there about his accuracy. But the Texans offense has a tendency to stall out in opponent territory, which is why […]

Chris Boswell Questionable For Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell (groin) is being listed as questionable for his team's Week 8 road matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Boswell's name showed up on the injury report on Friday as a DNP with a groin injury as his team gears up to head on the road in Week 8. A late-week injury […]

Jason Sanders Teetering On Fantasy Relevance

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders is a borderline streaming option against the Detroit Lions in Week 8. The 26-year-old had an underwhelming start to his season, but he bounced back with one extra point and three field goals last week, including a pair from beyond 40 yards out. He ranks as the K19 in fantasy […]

Eddy Pineiro Not A Strong Option In Week 8

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro will take the field on Sunday for a Week 8 bout with the Atlanta Falcons. Pineiro has converted on all but one of his field goal attempts this season but has not been a consistent fantasy producer due to a low volume of kicks. The Panthers should be able to […]

Greg Joseph A Solid Starting Option In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph has the look of a solid starting option in the kicker slot in Week 8, as he should have some chances to put points up against a weak Cardinals defense. Joseph has connected on nine of his 13 field goal attempts this season, with his longest connection going for 56 […]

Mason Crosby Not A Viable Fantasy Option In Week 8

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby will travel to Buffalo to play the Bills on Sunday night. After hitting four field goals and five extra-point attempts in Weeks 4 and 5, the 38-year-old has finished outside the top 20 the past two weeks. Going up against a Buffalo defense that has allowed the fewest points […]

Younghoe Koo A Potential Streaming Option

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo started the season on fire. He averaged 11.5 fantasy points per game over the first four weeks of the year, scoring 12 or more fantasy points three times. However, things have changed for the Atlanta kicker. Koo has scored 10 total fantasy points over the past three games, scoring six […]

Michael Badgley Has Wide Range Of Outcomes

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley's fantasy outlook is dependent on which version of the Jared Goff-led offensive attack shows up against Miami. However, the Lions have proven to take chances and be aggressive on fourth down, so he could bust even if the offense is potent. There's a scenario where he kicks a few field […]

Brandon McManus Hard To Trust In Week 8

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus ranks ninth among all kickers in total fantasy points through seven weeks of the 2022 season. But he's coming off a miserable Week 7 performance in which he made one of his two field-goal tries while missing his lone extra-point attempt. The 31-year-old is also kicking for the lowest-scoring offense […]

Randy Bullock Not A Strong Option In Week 8

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock has delivered two solid fantasy performances in 2022, but with a projected point total of just 40.5 in this Titans-Texans contest, it's tough to project a high-upside week for the veteran kicker. Bullock could deliver if the Titans are stalled in the red zone a few times, but this game […]

Graham Gano Remains Elite Option In Week 8

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano remains an elite kicking option in Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran kicker made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Week 7 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 35-year-old kicker has converted multiple field goals in five of the first seven […]

Ryan Succop Connects On Three Field Goals In Thursday's Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop went 3-for-3 in field goal attempts and drilled his only extra-point try in Thursday's 27-22 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran has now tallied at least 10 points in two of the last three games. He is one of the most reliable kickers in 2022, converting 19-of-20 field […]

Riley Patterson A Solid Streaming Option In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Riley Patterson is primed for a potential bounce-back game in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos. The second-year kicker made only one field goal in Week 7 versus the New York Giants, giving him only three made field goals in the last four weeks for the Jaguars. That being said, the Memphis […]

Justin Tucker Nails Two Field Goals On Thursday

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker nailed two field goals during the win over the Buccaneers in Week 8. The veteran did have a 61-yard try blocked in the second quarter, although he can't take the blame for that. With the Ravens dealing with injuries on the offensive end, Tucker's services may be needed even more […]

Jake Elliott A Streaming Option In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will face the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday. Pittsburgh has allowed the 10th-most field goals and total points scored against them this season. With Philadelphia scoring the 11th-most total points, the 27-year-old should be busy Sunday. Elliott had his best fantasy performance of the season in Week 6 against Dallas, kicking two […]
