Chad Ryland News
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.

Trey Smack News
Wednesday, September 23, 1:38 PM
Green Bay Packers rookie kicker Trey Smack enters Thursday's Week 3 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons as a strong streaming option after delivering in the clutch against the Jets. Smack converted both field-goal attempts in New York, hitting a game-tying 34-yarder late in regulation before drilling the 26-yard winner in overtime. He is now a perfect 5-for-5 on field goals through two games, including a 59-yarder in the opener that stands as the second-longest field goal in Packers history. The game environment should continue to provide scoring opportunities, with Green Bay favored at home and carrying an implied team total near 25 points. Atlanta has also allowed opponents five field-goal attempts through its first two games. Smack's proven range gives him additional upside if Green Bay stalls after crossing midfield. RotoBaller currently ranks him K9 in Tier 3 for Week 3. Fantasy managers can confidently use Smack as a top-10 streaming kicker, with additional tournament appeal in Thursday Showdown formats.
