Justin Tucker A Solid Start In Week 7

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has returned to his usual form over the past couple of weeks. In Week 6, he made all three of his extra point attempts and made all three field goals from 45, 32, and 39 yards. He's now averaging 9.3 fantasy points per game and is headed into a week that should have plenty of offensive fireworks. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers allow 9.5 fantasy points per game to opposing kickers, and the Ravens offense is more than likely to move the ball against a defense that allows 365.7 yards per contest. Fantasy managers can be confident in starting Tucker again in this matchup.

Justin Tucker Looks To Build Momentum Against Commanders

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker bounced back in a big way in Week 5 after a worrisome stretch through the first four games of the season. The veteran finished as the K6 after making all five of his extra points, a 56-yard field goal, and a 24-yard field goal to win the game for the Ravens in overtime. Kickers don't tend to thrive against the Washington Commanders, because the defense has either been very good or very bad while their offense has limited turnovers. The Ravens are likely to move the ball down the field, but it may result in more extra points rather than field goal attempts. There are better kicking options out there right now until Tucker can show some more consistency.

Justin Tucker Not A Trustworthy Option In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has taken quite the tumble down the fantasy ladder through the first four weeks. The historically accurate, Texas product has only posted one week in K1 territory so far and has finished K17 or worse in the other three weeks. It's not due to his offense being unable to move the ball as they've scored 20 or more points in each game. He's only making 62.5% of his field goal attempts and has missed both of his 50-yard attempts. The Cincinnati Bengals are only allowing nine fantasy points per game to opposing kickers while Tucker only averages seven. There are better options out there until Tucker gets back on track.

Justin Tucker A Shaky Option In Week 4

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has finally shown signs of slowing down this season, much to the surprise of fantasy managers and football fans everywhere. The star kicker clocks in as the K18 to start the season and has already missed three of his eight field goal attempts so far. Week 3 didn't do him any favors as he missed his lone field goal attempt and made four extra points. His Week 4 opponent, the Buffalo Bills, are one of the tougher teams in the early part of this season as they've allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers. The opposing kickers are only averaging 5.7 fantasy points against them right now, and if Tucker continues to miss field goals that he used to make, John Harbaugh and company may start going for it on fourth down more often. Fantasy managers will want to proceed with caution when it comes to starting Tucker this week.

Justin Tucker Looking To Get Accuracy Back In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker is one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history, yet he's been the only kicker to miss more than one field after the first two games of the season. Both misses were 50+ yards, but that's where he's normally the most automatic. While he missed another one in Week 2, his volume saved his fantasy week as he went 3-for-4 in field goals and 2-for-2 in extra points. His Week 3 matchup, the Dallas Cowboys, is ranked 21st in fantasy points allowed to opposing kickers as they've given up an average of 7.5 points so far. The Ravens' confidence in Tucker still hasn't wavered, so he should see plenty of opportunities to kick field goals from deep, but his "Automatuck" nickname may be on the way out the door.

Justin Tucker Looking To Get Back On Track Against Raiders

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker hasn't put up the big fantasy numbers that managers have grown accustomed to in recent seasons. Especially when it comes to 50-yard field goals, Tucker has missed five of his last six dating back to the 2023 season. The Ravens offense should be able to move the ball against the Raiders and Tucker returns to home field where he's made 88.8% of his field goals throughout his career. He should see plenty of opportunities for both field goals and extra points in this contest. The worry about Tucker falling from fantasy grace shouldn't kick in unless he strings together multiple bust weeks in a row. So, for now, managers can consider him a mid-to-high-level kicking option in Week 2.

Justin Tucker Remains A Top Kicking Option

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker continues to stick at the top of the kicking ranks heading into his 13th season in the NFL. The Texas product finished as the second-best fantasy kicker last year in what turned out to be more of a down year for the league's most accurate kicker. He made the third-most extra points and third-most 40-to-49-yard field goals while seeing a downward trend in 50+ yarders. With the Ravens offense still expected to put points on the board and the seemingly limitless range of Tucker, he's primed for yet another season as one of the top kickers in the league. Fantasy managers can play him in confidence heading into the Week 1 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Justin Tucker Has His Contract Restructured

The Baltimore Ravens restructured the contract of All-Pro kicker Justin Tucker on Tuesday, in addition to defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike and linebacker Roquan Smith, to create $9.3 million in salary cap space for the 2024 season. The move gives the Ravens more roster flexibility as they compete to get past the hump and to the Super Bowl this year. Believe it or not, Tucker wasn't the most valuable fantasy kicker in 2023; it was the Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey. Tucker missed five of his 37 field-goal attempts last year and one of his 52 extra-point tries, but he still managed to finish as the No. 2 fantasy kicker despite what was a down year for his standards. Nobody is panicking, though. The 34-year-old veteran still has an NFL-record 90.2% success rate and should remain one of the top fantasy kickers again in 2024 in a strong offense in Baltimore.

Justin Tucker Should Remain In Lineups In Week 18

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker may not have attempted any field goals in Week 17 but was able to produce a respectable fantasy performance. He was able to make all eight of his extra-point attempts. That was his first game without attempting a single field goal since Week 4 and just the second one of the season. In Week 18, the offense is going to be a shell of itself while plenty of the starters get a well-deserved rest week after locking up the first seed in the AFC. This also means that Tucker should get plenty of opportunities when the offense inevitably stalls against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that is fighting for its playoff hopes.

Justin Tucker Is An Elite Option In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker delivered another double-digit fantasy performance in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers. He made three 20-yarders and a 40-yarder combined with three extra points. The Ravens' ability to move the ball down the field on offense and create turnovers to shorten the field on defense, gives Tucker easier opportunities. Since the Miami Dolphins boast a solid run defense, red zone opportunities could stall when they hand the ball off, giving Tucker even more opportunities. He's currently the K3 and averages 9.5 fantasy points per game with double-digit fantasy outings in five of his last seven games.

Justin Tucker Still A Quality Option In Week 16

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been one of the most consistent fantasy options at any position since entering the league and this season hasn't been any different. In Week 15, he made two field goals within 40 yards and knocked through another one from 43 yards out. He also added two extra points for his sixth double-digit fantasy performance of the season. In Week 16, the Ravens take on the San Francisco 49ers which should cause the offense to stall at times and give Tucker plenty of opportunities. His limitless range is always a nice trait from a fantasy kicker too. He can still be considered a must-start in Week 16.

Dec 24, 2023 9:46 AM EST


Justin Tucker Still One Of The Best Options In Week 15

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker is fresh off of another double-digit fantasy performance after he made two field goals within 40 yards and another 40-yarder against the Los Angeles Rams. He also made both of his extra-point attempts. Against the Jaguars, the offense has plenty of opportunity to move the ball down the field. At the same time, the Ravens aren't scared to roll out Tucker to attempt as many 50-yarders as he can handle if need be. Tucker regained his position as the most accurate kicker in NFL history, so he'll remain a top option yet again in Week 15.

Dec 16, 2023 5:28 PM EST


Justin Tucker Remains A Must-Start Against Rams

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker saw another three field goal attempt game in Week 12 against the Chargers. He was able to make two out of three 40-yarders and made both of his extra-point attempts as well. The Rams have a good enough defense to hold teams out of the end zone, so kickers have scored six double-digit fantasy games against them this season. Tucker is one of the best to ever play the position, so he'll be able to capitalize on the opportunities in Week 14.

Dec 9, 2023 12:07 PM EST


Justin Tucker Should Remain In Lineups In Week 12

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker turned in another solid game in Week 11 as he made both of his field goals from 25 and 47 yards out while converting on all four extra-point attempts too. In Week 12, the Ravens take on the Los Angeles Chargers and that means a lot more scoring opportunities against a much weaker defensive unit than they've played over the last few weeks. Tucker is either going to get plenty of extra point work or be in field goal range almost all game long. Either way, Tucker remains an automatic start at kicker.

Nov 25, 2023 2:09 PM EST


Justin Tucker Should Remain A Top Kicker In Week 11

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker made all four of his extra-point attempts but missed one of his two field goal attempts as he had a 55-yarder blocked against the Cleveland Browns. The future Hall of Famer now has the third-most points scored out of all kickers in the league and is inside the top ten for fantasy points as well. The Bengals allow an average of 8.6 fantasy points per contest to opposing kickers and they rank right around the middle of the league, so Justin Tucker can be considered a must-start. Unless something drastic happens, he should remain there.

Nov 15, 2023 7:27 PM EST


Justin Tucker Remains Top Option Despite Tough Matchup In Week 10

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker put together another multi-field goal performance in Week 9 as he made a 31, 37, and 45-yard field goal while making all four of his extra-point attempts. The Cleveland Browns are giving up the second-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing kickers this year and Tucker didn't see any field goal work outside of four extra points against them in Week 4. As the Ravens' offense has improved throughout the year, Tucker has seen some more opportunities lately as well. Fantasy managers can confidently start Tucker in this divisional matchup in Week 10.

Nov 11, 2023 12:32 PM EST


Justin Tucker Still Has High Upside In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker will remain a top-12 option in the league as long as he's healthy and on the field. The future hall of famer missed his first field goal since Week 3 in the win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. Despite the miss, he still knocked through a 48-yarder and all four of his extra-point attempts. The offense could stall in field goal range against the Seahawks because they've produced solid defensive efforts against the passing game. Tucker is one of the most accurate kickers of all time, so he should remain in all fantasy lineups moving forward.

Nov 4, 2023 6:27 PM EST


Justin Tucker Still Trustworthy In Week 8

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker put together a couple of solid weeks and is back inside the top 12 fantasy kickers. In Week 7, he made his only field goal attempt from 32 yards out. He also made all five of his extra-point attempts. If the offense can look as fluid as it did against Detroit, then Tucker will get plenty of extra-point work. If they stall out in the red zone like they did against Tennessee, then he could see another big-time performance. The former is more likely against an Arizona Cardinals team that has been struggling mightily over the past few weeks. Tucker should still be a confident start for fantasy managers either way.

Oct 28, 2023 12:04 PM EST


Justin Tucker Primed For Another Big Week

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker posted his best game of the season in Week 6 against the Titans in London. The future Hall of Famer knocked through all six of his field goal attempts and missed had his only extra point attempt blocked. Even though five of the six were less than 40 yards away, he still flashed his unmatched consistency. In Week 7, the Ravens take on the Lions who have an even better defense than the Titans. If the offense can't move the ball across the goal line like they were unable to in London, then another big game is on the way from Tucker. He should be a top option yet again in Week 7.

Justin Tucker Looking For Big Bounce Back In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has had a very underwhelming outcome in each of the last few weeks. Through five weeks, he's the 29th-ranked kicker in fantasy. The silver lining, this week, is that the Titans give up an average of almost 10 points to opposing kickers. There's only been one game in which they haven't given up multiple field goals. The Ravens offense is good enough to move the ball into field goal range, but the question is whether or not they'll be able to find the end zone. Tucker deserves one more shot to bounce back but could become matchup-based if he fails to deliver this week.
