Jake Moody News
Saturday, November 14, 5:58 AM
Atlanta Falcons kicker Jake Moody will get a crack at kicking duties for the team this week after they released 42-year-old Nick Folk. Moody was with Baltimore before signing with the Falcons and made his season debut in Week 9, when he converted his only field goal attempt, which was from 53 yards. The signing gives the Falcons a chance to get some points from further out, as Folk was just 1-for-4 on field goal tries from 50-plus. The 6-foot-1 Moody owns a career-long of 57 yards, but comes with accuracy concerns, carrying a career 78.3 percent conversion rate into Week 10's matchup against the Chiefs. On the bright side, the University of Michigan product will get to kick in a dome for five of the remaining seven games, including this week, and in a game that has one of the higher over/unders on the slate (47.5), there should be some opportunities for the former third-rounder to make his mark. However, ranking as the 19th kicker overall this week at RotoBaller, the 26-year-old should be considered a low-end streaming option.

Riley Patterson News
Thursday, November 12, 7:09 AM
Kicker Riley Patterson, who was signed on Wednesday, will be the Baltimore Ravens' kicker for their Monday night game against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers, special teams coordinator Anthony Levine told Jamison Hensley of ESPN. The Ravens also signed kicker Harrison Mevis to the practice squad for depth behind Patterson. The 27-year-old Patterson comes to the Ravens after going 7-for-9 on his field-goal attempts and 5-for-6 on extra points in five games this year for the Miami Dolphins as their placekicker. He will be taking over for Jake Moody, who was Baltimore's Week 9 kicker before the Atlanta Falcons signed him off the practice squad on Tuesday. In five-plus NFL seasons, Patterson has made 86.6% of his 112 field-goal attempts (7-for-14 from 50-plus yards) and 96.1% of his 154 extra-point attempts with six different teams. The Ravens will be starting new quarterback Jacoby Brissett for the first time this year in Week 10 on Monday Night Football, which should be a boost to their offense over Joe Fagnano, but fantasy managers should have better options at kicker than Patterson.
