Eddy Pineiro A Solid Choice In Week 5

Saturday, October 10, 3:05 AM

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro was 3-for-3 on his extra points, converted one field goal attempt, and had another one blocked in last Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. Pineiro's make from the field was on a 24-yarder in the second quarter. The block came on a 54-yard try at the end of the first half. He is 14-for-16 on extra points, leading the league in both conversions and attempts, and 4-for-6 on field goal attempts. San Francisco's ability to convert drives into touchdowns has robbed Pineiro of more opportunities to try the field goals that would be more lucrative for fantasy purposes. However, it bodes well for his prospects that his offense can consistently drive into their opponent's territory. In Week 5, Pineiro is worth starting in what should be a hard-fought divisional matchup between the 49ers and Seattle Seahawks.

Tyler Loop is a Mid-Tier Kicking Option in Week 5

Saturday, October 10, 2:42 AM

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop drilled a 64-yard field goal and made all three extra-point attempts against the Tennessee Titans in Week 4. Loop did miss a 40-yard field goal wide left late in the fourth quarter, but the hold on that attempt may have been an issue. Loop should benefit from the controlled environment inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta against the Falcons in Week 5, with the second-year kicker making six of seven field goals and all six extra points across his young career playing indoors. However, the Ravens offense gets a slight downgrade with two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) missing Week 5 due to injury. Veteran backup quarterback Tyler Huntley will step in for Lamar, but he's far less efficient and effective than the team's starter, which could stall drives inside Loop's field goal range. Even so, Loop is RotoBaller's sixth-overall kicker for Week 5 and, with the Ravens on a late bye week, he profiles as a long-term hold option for managers who want to avoid streaming the position.
