Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass remains a strong fantasy option for Sunday's AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs. While the kicker position is somewhat of a crapshoot with just four teams remaining in the playoffs, Bass has a good chance to finish near or at the top of the final rankings when this week's games are complete. The 27-year-old has fared well in the playoffs so far, going 5-for-5 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra points. His matchup against the Chiefs isn't ideal Kansas City allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to kickers during the regular season but Bass did make one field goal and three extra points when he faced them back in Week 11. Conditions are expected to work in Bass' favor, too, with minimal winds and no precipitation expected in Kansas City on Sunday.

Buffalo Bills placekicker Tyler Bass connected on all three extra-point attempts and both field goal tries in his team's 27-25 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Bass has been excellent since the calendar turned to December, with a missed extra point being his only blemish since Week 16. The 27-year-old failed to connect on ten total attempts in 2024 (five field goals) but went 4-for-4 on tries of 50+, including a 61-yarder. Even in the snow, he was able to drill one through from 51 yards out. With a Conference Championship bout on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs on the horizon, the sixth-year pro should be afforded plenty more opportunities to knock through some kicks. The Bills and Chiefs matchup features a healthy 48-point over/under.

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass is a solid option in DFS competitions on Sunday evening when he faces the Baltimore Ravens. Last weekend, during their wild-card victory over the Denver Broncos, Bass went 3-for-3 on attempts and 2-for-2 on extra points. Over his previous five games, Bass has missed just one field goal attempt and has averaged a solid 8.2 fantasy points per game. During this stretch, he has been perfect on attempts from 40+ yards. On Sunday, he will face the Ravens who have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers this season. Despite this, given Bass's recent stretch of performances, he is a top option in all DFS competitions on Sunday.

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass has a lower floor in Week 18 given the expectation that many of his teammates will play a limited number of snaps. The Bills have already secured the AFC's No. 2 seed, and that won't change with the outcome of Sunday's contest against the New England Patriots. As a result, several key starters, including quarterback Josh Allen, are expected to only play a select number of drives in the regular-season finale. Mitchell Trubisky and Mike White are both in line to earn meaningful snaps against the Patriots, but the Bills' offensive upside is capped given that Trubisky and White have combined for just five pass attempts all year long. If the two veteran quarterbacks have some trouble moving the ball down the field, scoring opportunities will be much harder to come by for Bass. He still ranks as a fringe top-12 fantasy kicker, but both his ceiling and floor have been reduced for Week 18. Managers would be wise to at least explore alternative options before Sunday's games kick off.
Jan 5, 2025 8:31 AM EST
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass has been busy over the last few weeks. Bass has connected on all 20 of his extra point attempts over the last four games. However, Bass is 3-for-5 on field goal attempts during that span. The Bills offense has been cruising so much recently that Bass hasn't seen many chances to kick field goals. Despite that, Bass continues to have decent value because of all the touchdowns that the Bills offense is scoring right now. This offense should continue rolling against the New York Jets in Week 17. Bass is one of the better kickers in the league and is worth starting in most formats.

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass is worth starting in most fantasy football leagues ahead of his matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 16. The 27-year-old ranks ninth in fantasy points among kickers this year, going 50-for-54 on extra points and 21-for-26 on field goals. Even amidst some accuracy concerns on field goals, Bass has been able to rack up the scoring with an excessively high number of extra points. He has drilled 17 extra points over his last three games as the Bills continue to find the end zone at a rapid pace. That should continue this week against the New England Patriots. While New England ranks near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to kickers this year, they have surrendered an average of 2.7 touchdowns per game (eighth-most in the NFL), which means that scoring opportunities won't be too hard to come by for Bass. He should be deployed as a top-10 kicker in Week 16.
Dec 21, 2024 9:42 AM EST
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass hasn't made a field goal in two weeks, but continues to remain involved. Bass has made 11 extra point attempts over his last two games, but is 0-for-1 on field goal attempts. The Bills offense keeps scoring on their red zone trips which has limited the value of Bass. The expectation is that Bass is going to have a heavy workload in Week 15. He heads into a matchup with the Detroit Lions that is likely to be a high-scoring affair. Fantasy managers who have Bass rostered should feel comfortable starting him this week.
Dec 15, 2024 10:00 AM EST
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass went 6-for-6 on extra points and did not attempt a field goal during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Six extra points aren't ideal for fantasy scoring, but fantasy managers should still be satisfied with Bass achieving perfection on the road. The 27-year-old is now 44-for-48 on extra points and 19-for-23 on field goals in 2024, ranking 12th in fantasy points among kickers. He should continue to be deployed as a fringe top-12 kicking option ahead of Week 15 against the Detroit Lions.
Dec 9, 2024 11:32 AM EST
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass busted out of an early-season kicking slump to convert all his field goal attempts from Week 7 through 11. That ended in Week 13 when his kick went wide left from 49 yards away in the snow. Bass won't have to worry about the weather in Week 14. He and the Bills travel to play inside the roofed SoFi Stadium. With one of the highest over/under lines on the slate, points should be aplenty in Los Angeles, making Bass one of the top-ranked kickers in Week 14.
Dec 6, 2024 9:20 PM EST
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass remains a solid fantasy option for Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers. Bass ranks as the overall K12 this year, going 33-for-37 on extra points and 19-for-22 on field goals. Although his 2024 stats reflect some accuracy concerns, Bass has been more dependable recently, making all 10 of his field-goal attempts over the last five weeks. This week, the 27-year-old faces the San Francisco 49ers at home. The Niners have been mediocre against opposing kickers, allowing the 18th-most fantasy points to the position. Fortunately for Bass, the wind and precipitation effects of Orchard Park's lake effect snow warning should dissipate in time for kickoff, leaving favorable conditions as he prepares to kick in a potential shootout between the 49ers and Bills. Bass ranks just inside the top 12 fantasy kickers for Week 13.
Dec 1, 2024 8:29 AM EST
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass is 9-for-9 on field goals and 12-for-13 on extra points since Week 6. His resurgence came at a time when his job appeared to be in jeopardy. For fantasy football, he's scored the second-most points at the position in that timeframe. Overall, he's 30-for-33 on extra points and 18-for-21 on field goals. With his confidence back, Bass ranks as a top-12 kicker against the Chiefs. The Bills offense is missing key pieces in Keon Coleman (wrist) and Dalton Kincaid (knee) which could lead to more field goal opportunities.
Nov 15, 2024 8:59 PM EST
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass struggled early in the season, but has cleaned it up over the last few weeks. In fact, Bass has six straight field goals and 9-of-10 extra point attempts over the last three games. The 27-year-old knocked down a 61-yard field goal during last week's win over the Miami Dolphins. It appears the early struggles for Bass are behind him. Fantasy managers should restore faith in him ahead of the Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Nov 10, 2024 10:08 AM EST
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass is 9-for-12 on field goals and 18-for-20 on extra points this season. His struggles were on full display during Monday Night Football when he missed a field goal and an extra point. The Bills signed Lucas Havrisik to their practice squad, intending to create competition for Bass. If he continues to whiff on his attempts, he may not be kicking for Buffalo next week. For fantasy football purposes, there are no concerns with the matchup against Tennessee, but fantasy managers may opt to start a more reliable kicker in Week 7.
Oct 18, 2024 5:31 PM EST
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass struggled on Monday evening as he went 1-for-2 on field goal attempts and 2-for-3 on extra-point attempts in their victory over the New York Jets. This was his second missed extra-point and second missed field goal of the season. Bass' miss was from 47-yards out. However, he was able to bounce-back as he hit the eventual game-winning field goal from 22-yards out with just under four minutes left. The 27-year-old remains a low-end K1 in all formats given how explosive the Buffalo offense can be. However, his recent struggles could make him hard to trust in smaller league sizes.
Oct 15, 2024 9:36 AM EST
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass has converted three field goals on the season and kicked four extra points in each of the first two games. That wouldn't be terrible in most seasons. In 2024, we're witnessing a record number of field goals. 73 field goals were made in Week 2. Bass accounted for just one. The Buffalo offense is great and has little issue getting into the red zone. But they're also converting most of their trips into touchdowns. The Jacksonville defense is average at best, meaning Josh Allen and Co. shouldn't have issues staying on the field. The Bills also worked out two kickers earlier this week. Find one of the many kickers scoring double-digit fantasy points to start instead of Bass.
Sep 20, 2024 10:10 PM EST
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass was a perfect six-for-six on kicks during his 2024 debut against the Arizona Cardinals and now enters a matchup where points should come easy. Josh Allen rarely has difficulty moving the offense against Mike McDaniel's Miami Dolphins. That will set up Bass for several kicking opportunities. Fantasy managers will be hopeful that field goals come more often than extra points, but there's a great chance that Bass won't go scoreless. Bass is a safe option for fantasy football and is ranked among the top kickers in Week 2.
Sep 11, 2024 3:04 PM EST
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass is worth starting in most leagues ahead of Week 1 versus the Arizona Cardinals. Although Bass is coming off a down year in which he made just 82.8 percent of his field goals and tied his career-low for extra point attempts, he's still someone worth considering for lineups given the strong state of Buffalo's offense. In particular, Bass could find himself busy this week against a Cardinals defense that allowed the second-most points per game to opposing offenses in 2023. The 27-year-old kicker is still a top-12 fantasy option this week.
Sep 7, 2024 9:44 AM EST
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass disappointed from a fantasy perspective in last Saturday's 24-22 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, drilling his lone field-goal attempt and each of his three extra-point tries. Though it was a 29-yard chip shot, Bass' converted field goal came in the waning seconds of the fourth quarter to keep Buffalo's playoff bid alive. The Bills came into Week 16 as double-digit favorites against a Chargers team missing four of their biggest stars, seemingly positioning them to form a lead and play from ahead. But such positive game script never quite materialized in that one, as the team essentially played down to a far inferior squad. Bass hopes for a different tune at home in Week 17 versus the New England Patriots, virtually finding himself in the same favorable setup as he did in his last time out. With no legitimate weather concerns in Orchard Park on Sunday, Bass should be treated as a top-10 kicking play.
Dec 30, 2023 12:10 AM EST
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass has provided solid, yet unspectacular results leading into a Week 16 road date with the Los Angeles Chargers. Bass drilled his lone field-goal attempt, a 23-yard boot, and each of his four extra-point tries in last Sunday's 31-10 destruction of the Dallas Cowboys. After logging single-digit fantasy outputs in each of his six games from Weeks 5 through 10, Bass has posted at least seven points in four consecutive games. The Georgia Southern product's 115 fantasy points to date reside 13th amongst kickers. Kicking indoors on a team that situates as substantial favorites and an offense that's discovered its rhythm of late sounds like a recipe conducive to fantasy success on Saturday. Bass can be deployed as a top-five play in this highly advantageous setup.
Dec 23, 2023 12:29 AM EST
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass nailed a go-ahead 39-yard field-goal attempt in the fourth quarter last Sunday, which proved to be enough for the team to escape Arrowhead Stadium with a heart-stopping 20-17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Bass has been pedestrian from both a real-life and fantasy standpoint in 2023, sinking 20-of-25 field-goal tries for a career-low 80% conversion rate and ranking ordinarily as fantasy's No. 16 kicker in total points scored (108). The 26-year-old lines up on Sunday against a staunch Dallas Cowboys defense, who are giving up the second-fewest fantasy points per game to kickers. It simply hasn't been a prolific type of season overall for Bass, who is barely a top-10 choice in Week 15 with seven single-digit fantasy efforts in his last nine games after starting the year with three double-digit outputs out of his first four outings.
