Eddy Piñeiro News
Thursday, September 10, 9:55 AM
San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro is ready for his second season with the team. Last year, Pineiro took over the position from Jake Moody after the latter missed three kicks (including two extra points) in last year's season opener. Pineiro went on to be one of the most effective kickers in fantasy football based on fantasy points per game. Not previously known for having a powerful leg, Pineiro went 6-for-7 from beyond 50 yards and was 10-for-10 on field goals between 40 and 49 yards long in 2025. In Week 1, San Francisco opens the season against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne. The Rams have one of the league's top-rated defenses, but even if they slow down the 49ers, Kyle Shanahan's dynamic offense should still be able to move the ball into field goal range and set Pineiro up for some scores. Pineiro is twelfth overall at his position in RotoBaller's Week 1 rankings and can be safely started.

Brandon Aubrey News
Sunday, September 13, 8:14 PM
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey had a miserable night in his team's season debut against their biggest rival, the New York Giants. The divisional opponent held the Cowboys to zero field goal attempts, and the 31-year-old Cowboys place kicker made two of his extra points while missing one. In most fantasy football leagues, that equates to a single fantasy point, making him a non-factor in matchups. Aubrey's accuracy declined markedly after his first season in the league, and it looks like he may be on the decline as a player in general. In his last two seasons before this one, he made 77 of his 78 extra point attempts, good for a nearly 99 percent conversion rate. This should still be a good offense, but there's a chance that Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer's passing and rushing schemes won't age well now that defenses have a full offseason of tape. Aubrey will look to get back on track against the Washington Commanders in Week 2, who have one of the NFL's weaker defenses.
