Chad Ryland A Serviceable Streamer In Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 2:41 AM

Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland was perfect in Week 3, nailing all three of his extra point attempts and going 3-for-3 on field goals as well. His field goals came from 26, 41, and 49 yards out. It was Ryland's second game (along with Week 1) with three or more field goals and at least two extra points. So far in 2026, Ryland is perfect on extra points and 7-for-8 on field goal tries. In Week 4, the Cardinals will face the New York Giants, who have seen the fewest fantasy points allowed to opposing kickers so far in 2026. The Giants have seen only two field goal attempts against them, and both resulted in misses. Ryland is a safe bet to get one through the uprights against New York. He is projected as a top-10 option in Week 4.

Drew Stevens Wins the Kicking Job in Washington

Monday, August 17, 4:59 PM

Washington Commanders kicker Drew Stevens has won the kicking job ahead of the 2026 season, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. He essentially locked in his roster spot when the Commanders released fellow kicker Jake Moody on Monday morning. Stevens, an undrafted free agent out of Iowa, made one field goal and one extra point in the Commanders' preseason opener. Back at school last year, he went 22-for-28 on field goals, which led the Big 10. He also went 41-for-42 on extra points. The 22-year-old doesn't have much redraft appeal yet, but that could change once he gets some regular-season games under his belt. In the meantime, we need to see him produce consistent results in the NFL, and we also need to see how many high-value fantasy opportunities he gets in a Commanders offense that has some question marks.
