Matt Ammendola Not A Reliable Option In Week 6

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Ammendola doesn't seem like a reliable starter in Week 6 as the Cardinals will look to survive without their starter Matt Prater (hip) for the second straight game. Ammendola has converted four of his six field goal attempts, however, his longest make is only 31 yards. He has converted on just […]

Eddy Pineiro Not On Fantasy Radar

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro has drilled all but one of his field goal attempts so far this season and will look to stay consistent against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6. Although he has been a top-10 fantasy kicker through five weeks, it will be hard to rely upon Pineiro with quarterback PJ […]

Matt Prater To Miss Another Game

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) has been ruled out for the Week 6 game against the Seattle Seahawks. It will be Prater's second straight missed game after injuring his hip in Week 4. With Prater out in the Week 5 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Matt Ammendola filled in and made one of his […]

Robbie Gould Good To Go For Week 6

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould is not on the team's injury report for the Week 6 game against the Atlanta Falcons, so he'll be starting just a week after suffering a knee contusion. Sam Sloman was brought in just in case, but Gould can be inserted into fantasy lineups in a game in which […]

Mason Crosby A Borderline Streaming Option

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby will face the New York Jets in Green Bay this Sunday. The 38-year-old has attempted two field goals each of the past two weeks, finishing inside the top 15. The matchup against the Jets offers the veteran kicker little upside, as the team has had only nine field goals […]

Joey Slye Makes Two Field Goals On Thursday

Washington Commanders kicker Joey Slye made two of his three field goals in Thursday's 12-7 win over the Chicago Bears. The 26-year-old made his first attempt from 38 yards at the end of the second quarter and later drilled a 28-yard attempt during the fourth quarter to put the Commanders within one point. However, the […]

Matt Gay A Risky Streaming Option

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay has a home game against the flailing Carolina Panthers in Week 6. Gay has yet to score double-digit points this season while the Rams have underwhelmed on offense. This week's matchup against the Panthers, a team with an average defense and a terrible offense, may present a better game […]

Graham Gano A Premier Kicking Option In Week 6

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano should remain a premier option in Week 6 versus the Baltimore Ravens. After not attempting a field goal in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans, the veteran kicker has now made multiple field goals in four consecutive weeks. Gano has made 11 of his first 13 field-goal attempts and […]

Cairo Santos Tallies One Point In Thursday's Loss

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos converted his only extra-point attempt in Thursday's loss to the Washington Commanders. The 30-year-old is a perfect 7-for-7 in field goal attempts and 6-for-8 in extra point tries over six games in 2022. Chicago's offense continues to struggle, limiting opportunities for Santos to rack up points. The veteran kicker had […]

Riley Patterson Has Upside In Week 6 Against Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Riley Patterson should continue his success to begin the season in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts. The second-year kicker has seemingly been a massive upgrade over what the Jaguars have rolled out at kicker in recent years. Aside from a Week 4 game in the rain where he didn't attempt a […]

Cade York A Mid-Range Option In Week 6

Cleveland Browns kicker Cade York will look to bounce back after he missed a potential game-winning kick in Week 5. York will take on the New England Patriots at home in Week 6. The rookie kicker has had an up-and-down debut season as he hit a 58-yard game-winning field goal back in Week 1. Overall, […]

Younghoe Koo A Possible Streaming Option In Week 6

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo struggled last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, missing his only field goal attempt in the game. The veteran kicker had zero fantasy points last week, snapping a two-game streak with 12 or more fantasy points. Furthermore, he had 12 or more fantasy points in three of the first four […]

Brandon McManus Worth A Look As A Streamer Against Chargers

Based on the fact that the Denver Broncos face off against the Los Angeles Chargers defense in Week 6 on Monday Night Football, kicker Brandon McManus is worth a peek as a low-end fantasy starting kicker. The Chargers defense has allowed the third-most points per game (27.2) through the first five games, and they'll still […]

Dustin Hopkins Limited In Thursday's Practice

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (quadricep) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. He was ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns due to a quad injury. The 32-year-old is five of his six field-goal attempts and all 11 of his PATs over the season's first four games. Hopkins will have […]

Robbie Gould Practices On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould (knee) was able to fully practice on Thursday. The 39-year-old missed Wednesday's practice, but it sounds like he is making progress now. The 49ers did bring in Sam Sloman as insurance in case Gould is unable to play in Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons. The team might take […]

Cairo Santos Not A Strong Fantasy Option In Week 6

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos has been perfect this year. He's converted 7-of-7 field goal attempts while drilling all three extra-point tries. The Bears' offense has been sluggish in 2022 and ranks 27th in points per game, not providing many scoring opportunities for Santos. Despite Chicago's struggles on offense, the 30-year-old has produced back-to-back 10 […]

Harrison Butker Limited Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday. He has been sidelined since spraining his ankle in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 27-year-old is close to returning to action and will have two more days to log a full practice this week. Matthew Wright, who went made […]

Matt Prater Starts Off The Week With A DNP

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday. Prater was inactive in the Week 5 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and is considered week-to-week, so it doesn't appear that he's on the right track to return to kicking duties in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks. The Cardinals […]

Brett Maher Once Again A Strong Kicking Option In Week 6

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher is once again a strong kicking option in Week 6 fantasy lineups. Maher has been one of the most consistent kickers in the league so far this season, nailing 13 of his 14 field goal tries and making kicks from distance. He's a top-10 option in what could be a […]

Greg Zuerlein A Solid Kicker For Week 6 Lineups

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein is a good kicking option once again in Week 6 fantasy lineups. Zuerlein had an awful Week 1 but has been excellent since then, combining accuracy with long range on an offense that occasionally struggles to close out drives with touchdowns. He's averaged nine fantasy points per week and […]

Daniel Carlson Hits Three Field Goals In Week 5

Las Vegas kicker Daniel Carlson made all three of his field goals and added two extra points in a 30-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5. Carlson hit field goals from 53, 50, and 47 yards in the one-point loss. The veteran kicker has been excellent in 2022, hitting all 15 of […]

Wil Lutz A Solid Fantasy Kicker In Week 6

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz has struggled with his accuracy in 2022, hitting just five of his nine field goals while adding 10 extra points in as many attempts. He will look to turn in a big game in Week 6 at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have been generous to kickers […]

49ers Add Samuel Sloman To Practice Squad

The San Francisco 49ers have added kicker Samuel Sloman to their practice squad. This doesn't come as a shock with Robbie Gould (knee) uncertain for Week 6. The 49ers want to add insurance in case Gould is unable to go. Sloman hasn't played this season but knocked down 11 of 13 field-goal attempts for the […]

Lions Add Sam Ficken

The Detroit Lions have added kicker Sam Ficken to their practice squad. The Lions also have Michael Badgley on their practice squad. Badgley knocked down all four of his field goal attempts in his lone appearance this season. Ficken will be solid competition for an organization seeking a reliable kicker. Over his career, Ficken has […]

Week 6 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Kicker statistics are more useful now that five weeks of the 2022 NFL regular season are in the books, but fantasy kicker projections can vary widely week-to-week, and with bye weeks set to begin, the streaming game at kicker has never been more important. Our Week 6 kicker rankings aim to help fantasy managers fill […]

Robbie Gould To Be Re-Evaluated On Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould (knee) is scheduled to be re-evaluated on Wednesday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The 39-year-old exited Sunday's game with a knee contusion after making a tackle on a kickoff. It sounds like the team plans to workout kickers on Tuesday. Gould is unlikely going to be ready for […]

Panthers Fire Head Coach Matt Rhule

The Carolina Panthers fired head coach Matt Rhule, who has gone 11-27 in his three years with the team, on Monday. Rhule will leave Carolina with four years left on a seven-year contract he received from owner David Tepper in January of 2020. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting that defensive pass-game coordinator/secondary coach Steve […]

Ryan Succop Tallies Seven Points In Week 5 Win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop went 2-for-2 in field goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 21-15 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He connected from 44 and 21 yards out on both attempts in Sunday's win. The 36-year-old has been one of the most reliable kickers in the league, converting 11-of-12 […]

Brett Maher Kicks Three Field Goals In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher made all three of his field goal attempts and his only extra point try in another Cowboys win in Week 5. Maher was responsible for 10 of the 22 points Dallas scored in a 22-10 win. So, Maher himself scored as many points as the entire Los Angeles Rams roster. […]
