Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders made 2-of-2 field attempts and both extra points in the 32-20 loss to the New York Jets in Week 18. His long came from 28 yards out. He will end the season by making his last 27 field goals and finishing the year as the fifth-ranked kicker in fantasy football. Sanders started the year slow and inconsistent, but things turned around as soon as Tua Tagovailoa returned from injury in Week 8. The 29-year-old has proved his worth in the 2024 campaign, hitting several big kicks late in games. He figures to be one of the most sought-after kickers when the 2025 fantasy football season comes around in September.

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders has been the hottest kicker in all football throughout the second half of the season. He has made 25 straight field goals and is the fifth-ranked kicker in fantasy football. Sanders and the Dolphins will travel to East Rutherford to take on the New York Jets in Week 18. With Tyler Huntley likely the starter, it's not farfetched that Miami could settle for a few field goals this week. The Jets struggle giving up fantasy points to kickers, ranking 31st in fantasy points per game, on top of allowing a 90% field goal percentage. If you're a fantasy manager in need of a kicker for your fantasy championship, he could be a very viable option.

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders had a perfect day on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, hitting both field goal attempts and both extra points in a 20-3 victory that kept Miami's playoff hopes alive for another week. The kicker crushed a 54-yarder in the first quarter, no small feat given the muddy field conditions in rainy Cleveland. He also hit a 39-yarder on the last play of the first half that gave Miami a lead it kept the rest of the way. Managers who started Sanders despite the Dolphins being without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) were rewarded with a performance befitting a top-10 fantasy kicker. The Dolphins will conclude the regular season in Week 18 at the New York Jets.

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders has been one of the best kickers in fantasy football over the last several games. He has scored the most fantasy points by any kicker since Week 8 and has made his last 23 field goal attempts. In Week 17, he and the Dolphins will travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns in brutal kicking conditions. There is projected to be a 50% chance of rain and 25+ mph gusts at kick-off. To make matters worse, the Browns allow the lowest field goal percentage in the entire NFL at 69%. As hot as Sanders has been, he is best left on the bench for Week 17. He comes in as the 18th-ranked kicker in this week's RotoBaller rankings.
Dec 27, 2024 6:28 PM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders made 5-of-5 field goal attempts and 2-of-2 extra points in their 29-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers. His longest came from 54 yards out. Sanders continued to stay hot and has now made his last 23 field goal attempts. As the Dolphins offense has looked more formidable, he continues to get more opportunities than almost anyone in the league, and his conversion rate has been phenomenal. The 29-year-old is now the sixth-ranked kicker overall in fantasy football and should be a weekly start for anyone still in the playoffs. He will have a challenging task traveling to take on the Cleveland Browns in likely freezing conditions in Week 17.
Dec 23, 2024 11:21 AM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders looks to extend his made-field goal streak past 18 in Week 16. The 29-year-old is having one of his best years as a pro and is now the eighth-ranked kicker in fantasy football. The San Francisco 49ers come to town in Week 16 and allow the 10th fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers. Sanders has also hurt fantasy owners by missing extra points in back-to-back weeks. This could be a spot where the Dolphins have trouble moving the ball due to Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal) and Jaylen Waddle (knee) injuries. He should be viewed as a shaky streaming option for Week 16. He comes in as RotoBaller's 16th-ranked kicker in the Week 16 rankings.
Dec 21, 2024 10:25 AM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders made 2-of-2 field goal attempts and missed his only extra point in the 20-12 loss to the Houston Texans. That's now 18 straight field goals made by the 29-year-old. His long came from 55 yards out to make it 3-3 early in the second quarter, and he is now 9-11 from 50+ on the season. Sanders looks like he did in his 2020 season, during which he had a career year. The only downside to his day was the missed extra point; he made two straight attempts he's missed. His next matchup will come at home against the San Francisco 49ers next Sunday.
Dec 15, 2024 7:19 PM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders looks to continue his made field-goal streak in his matchup against the Houston Texans in Week 15. He has made 16 of his last 16 field-goal attempts and has been one of the hottest kickers in fantasy football. Since quarterback Tua Tagovailoa returned from Injured Reserve, Sanders has seen plenty of looks in terms of both field goals and extra points. Things should continue to improve this week, as the Texans rank 17th in fantasy points and 24th in field-goal percentage to opposing kickers per game. His production has earned him a weekly start for the rest of the season. He ranks as the No. 10 kicker in the Week 15 RotoBaller rankings.
Dec 14, 2024 12:12 PM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders made 4-of-4 field goal attempts and missed his only extra-point try in Week 14's 32-26 victory in overtime over the New York Jets. The last of Sanders' field goals was from 52 yards to tie the game at 26 with seven seconds remaining. Sanders was perfect 2-for-2 (57, 52) in long field goal attempts from 50 yards out. However, his perfect kick streak ended at six games, but his field goal streak remains intact. He has been one of the best kickers in fantasy football during his streak and should continue to see plenty of opportunities down the stretch. Sanders and the Dolphins will travel to face the Houston Texans in Week 15.
Dec 8, 2024 9:07 PM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders has been one of the most productive fantasy options at his position lately, and he'll look to extend his hot streak during Week 12 versus the New England Patriots. Sanders has posted double-digit fantasy points in back-to-back games and three of his last four contests. Over the last two weeks, he has gone 6-for-6 on extra points and 5-for-5 on field goals, including two from beyond 50 yards. This week, the 29-year-old faces a Patriots defense that has been somewhat stingy against kickers but is also quite capable of surrendering points. Thus, Sanders ranks just inside the top 12 for this week. He's worth starting in leagues with at least 12 teams, and he can even be considered in 10-team formats.
Nov 23, 2024 5:22 PM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders went 2-for-2 on field goal attempts and 4-for-4 on extra points in their 34-19 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11. He hit from 31 and 46 yards out. This marks the fourth straight game where Sanders has made all his kicks. With the offense presenting more scoring opportunities in recent weeks, it's fitting to see him taking advantage. The 29-year-old has shown the consistency to be a weekly start in fantasy lineups moving forward. Sanders and the Dolphins will host the New England Patriots in a game that should present plenty of chances to rack up points in Week 12.
Nov 18, 2024 5:45 AM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders is coming off his best performance of the season. Last week, Sanders knocked down all three field goal attempts, including a 50-yard kick in the win over the Los Angeles Rams. He also connected on both extra point attempts in what was a busy day for the veteran kicker. Sanders will once again have a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11. The Dolphins should have little issues moving the ball against the Raiders defense which should give Sanders plenty of chances. Fantasy managers in need of a kicker should take a look at Sanders this weekend.
Nov 17, 2024 9:39 AM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders has seen his workload increase over the last few weeks. This offense looks to be back on track with Tua Tagovailoa under center once again. Last week, Sanders made both of his field goals while converting all three of his extra point attempts in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. He figures to continue having plenty of chances with the Dolphins offense rolling again. They'll get a favorable matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10. Sanders should be worth a look for fantasy managers seeking a streaming option for Week 10.
Nov 10, 2024 9:22 AM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders is not an ideal start this Sunday when the team squares off against the Indianapolis Colts. Scoring opportunities for the Dolphins offense have been challenging to come by this season. Sanders has hit on 9-of-12 field goal attempts this year and drilled all three of his extra-point attempts. Miami has scored just five touchdowns this year. While the outing against the Colts is one of the better matchups in the league, it's hard to be excited about most of the Dolphins' fantasy assets before quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returns to action. Sanders is the K26 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings.
Oct 18, 2024 4:41 PM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders will not be a recommended fantasy option in Week 5 when his team takes on the New England Patriots in Foxborough. Sanders has missed just two field goals on the season and has yet to miss an extra point attempt in four contests. However, scoring opportunities have been challenging to come by, with Miami punching in just three touchdowns through the first month of games. This offense continues to trend negatively until quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returns. Despite the 28-year-old's trademark accuracy, fantasy managers may want to aim elsewhere for a more consistent kicking option that garners a higher floor and ceiling regarding weekly output. The former seventh-round pick is RotoBaller's K28 in this Week's rankings.
Oct 4, 2024 12:03 PM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders can be safely avoided by fantasy managers this week when the team hosts the Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football. Sanders has drilled all three attempted extra points this season but has hit on just 4-of-6 field goal tries through three weeks. The 28-year-old has been a bit shaky from a distance this season -- with both misses coming from 46+ yards away. Additionally, scoring opportunities have decreased since Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) went down in Week 2. Skylar Thompson (rib) did not inspire much confidence last week in his action, and now he'll also miss an undetermined amount of time while recovering from a rib injury. The Dolphins have responded by signing quarterback Tyler Huntley off the Ravens practice squad and promoting him to starter ahead of the team's Week 4 matchup. How the offense will look under Huntley remains to be seen, but a run-heavy game plan could be in store due to his success in that aspect of his game and his inexperience with head coach Mike McDaniel's scheme. Sanders is one of the better kickers in the league, but Miami's 13 points over the last two weeks don't inspire a positive outlook for him. He's RotoBaller's K29 for Week 4.
Sep 28, 2024 12:38 PM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders can be avoided by fantasy managers ahead of the team's Week 3 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Sanders has missed just one kick on the season -- a 42-yarder he pushed wide-left in Week 1 -- and has drilled all three of his extra-point attempts. Still, he isn't a recommended option this Sunday. With quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) placed on injured reserve, it's difficult to project Miami as many scoring opportunities for the offense led by Skylar Thompson. The Dolphins' skill players should keep the 28-year-old place-kicker in contention for a few weekly points, but he can only be relied on once the Fins prove they can still be an effective offensive unit with Thompson under center. Sanders is RotoBaller's K25 ahead of Week 3.
Sep 20, 2024 1:14 PM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders will again look to help his team to a victory when they face the Buffalo Bills in a Thursday Night Football divisional matchup. Sanders successfully converted both of his extra-point tries and 2-of-3 field goals -- including a 52-yard game-winner with time expiring -- against the Jacksonville Jaguars this past Sunday. His miss was a 42-yard attempt in the third quarter. The 28-year-old did not attempt a field goal in his matchups against the Bills last season and was just 4-for-4 on point attempt tries over the two contests. Buffalo's defense doesn't hold quite the star power it once did, so it's fair to expect Sanders to score more than two fantasy points -- his total in both matchups last season. Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater connected on both of his FG and XP tries last week in the team's 34-28 loss. The Bills will probably play the Fins tough, but Sanders should still have a nice game. He's RotoBaller's K8 in this week's rankings.
Sep 11, 2024 4:12 PM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders is a top option heading into the Dolphins' home opening tilt against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Sanders is near-automatic from under 40 yards in his career, connecting on 95% of his kicks (79-of-83). He gets a bit sketchier from there on out and is a combined 71-of-97 from 40+. However, the seventh-year kicker is reliable in the extra-point department, nailing 233-of-240 career attempts. Miami has an implied point total of 26 points heading into Week 1, and there should be plenty of scoring opportunities for the Dolphins squaring off against a Jaguars team that struggled against the pass in 2023. Fire up Sanders with confidence, as he is RotoBaller's K7 in this week's rankings.
Sep 5, 2024 4:20 PM EST
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders wasn't able to continue his super hot streak in Week 17 but was able to deliver on a couple of field goals. He made two of them within 39 yards and made his only extra-point attempt of the night against the Baltimore Ravens. He'll welcome the Buffalo Bills into Miami in Week 18 for a game that decides who takes home the number-two seed in the AFC. The last time they played, in Week 4, Sanders only saw two extra points and didn't get to attempt a single field goal. The offense turned in one of their worst performances which shouldn't happen twice to the same team while playing at home. Sanders will likely get plenty of field goal work to make sure they put points on the board and get some home field advantage for the playoffs.
