The Los Angeles Rams are signing veteran kicker Brett Maher on Monday after waiving rookie Lucas Havrisik earlier in the day. Maher began the year as the Rams' kicker and played in the first seven weeks before getting cut on Oct. 24, going 17-for-23 (73.9 percent) on his field-goal opportunities and 12-for-13 with his extra points. Havrisik was cut by the Rams on Monday after missing two of his four extra points in a one-point win over the New York Giants on Sunday. LA just has been unable to settle on a kicker all season, but Maher will hope to come back in and be more successful than he was earlier in the year as the team gets ready for another playoff appearance. In the Week 18 regular season finale against the San Francisco 49ers with key starters potentially being rested, Maher should be avoided for fantasy lineups.

The 33-year-old has hit 16-of-20 field goal attempts and is perfect on extra-point tries. The Rams have been very aggressive offensively, creating constant opportunities for Maher to knock down field goals. He has proven to be a top-three option at the position weekly and should not be on any waiver wires anymore.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher continues to be one of the best options at the position right now. Maher has hit 12-of-16 field goals and is 10-of-10 on extra point tries. While he is tied for the most missed field goals through the first five weeks of this season, the 33-year-old will continue to get opportunities that the majority of kickers don't.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher is the number two overall kicker through the first four weeks. Maher has attempted more field goals than any other kicker this season. The 33-year-old has made 12-of-16 field goal attempts and is eight-of-eight on extra point tries. The Rams have proved to consistently be able to get down the field and get into range for Maher. With Cooper Kupp (hamstring) back and healthy, the offense will be even more explosive than it already was, creating more opportunities for field goals. Maher is a top-three option at kicker in his Week 5 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher is locked in as a top-five option at the position. Maher has hit three field goals in each of his first three games of the season and is connecting on them. The 33-year-old has made nine of 11 field goal attempts and is five-of-five on extra point tries. Maher is a must-start going forward and will continue to get these opportunities, considering how great the Rams have been at getting down the field at will. He is a great play and should not be on any waiver wires, as he faces the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4.
Sep 30, 2023 6:30 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher should now be rostered in all leagues as he's ranked top-five at the position. The team faces the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3, an excellent spot for the former Cowboys kicker. The Bengals have surrendered five field goal makes on six attempts through the season's first two games. The team's young defense has been struggling, and the Rams will have opportunities to drive down the field consistently, putting them in field-goal range. Maher is a must-start and a great option in Week 3.
Sep 23, 2023 9:11 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher did not miss in the team's 30-23 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The former Cowboys kicker went 3-for-3 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra point tries. As a result of this Rams' offense being as high-paced as it is, Maher has attempted eight field goals through the first two games and has made six of them. The Nebraska product was a top-three fantasy kicker last season and is on his way to do so again. Maher has been a solid fantasy option this season and can be used as a streamer in the Week 3 matchup against the Bengals.
Sep 18, 2023 4:03 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher had a busy debut with the team as he attempted five field goals in their Week 1 victory. While the former Cowboys kicker did miss two of his five attempts, one was a 56-yarder, and the other was a 57-yarder. Maher will get plenty of opportunities this season and has a real chance to be a top fantasy kicker again. Maher is an excellent option at the position if you still need to get a reliable kicker. However, fantasy managers might want to find a different streaming option in Week 2. The Rams offense could have trouble moving the ball in a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, who allowed just seven points to the Steelers in Week 1.
Sep 16, 2023 6:46 AM EST
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 looked explosive, so Maher might see plenty of field goal opportunities this season. That said, he likely won't have a job long if he continues to miss field goals moving forward.
Sep 11, 2023 2:52 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher will make his debut with the team in their Week 1 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The former Cowboy finished with the third most points among all kickers last season, as he went 29-for-32 and hit nine 50+ yard field goals. Matt Gay, who kicked for the Rams last season, finished top-eight at the position in 2022, showing how often this team settles for field goals. While there are still other kickers ranked above him in the latest RotoBaller rankings, Maher is a solid fantasy option this week.

The Los Angeles Rams are finalizing an undisclosed contract with veteran kicker Brett Maher on Wednesday, according to a source. The Rams will go with Maher after releasing Tanner Brown on roster cutdown day on Tuesday. The 33-year-old Maher was with the Denver Broncos during training camp and the preseason, but they traded for Wil Lutz on Tuesday and decided to go in another direction. The Rams will probably have a short leash on Maher to open the season, but he appears to be their starter now. He made a career-high 90.6 percent of his 32 field-goal attempts last year for the Dallas Cowboys and also missed just three of his league-high 53 extra-point tries in 17 games. Maher is a career 81% kicker in four NFL seasons and has a strong leg, but fantasy managers should be able to find better options to begin the 2023 campaign at the position.
