Tennessee Titans kicker Joey Slye delivered a huge performance in Week 1, drilling all four of his field goal attempts in a 20-12 loss to the Denver Broncos. The seventh-year veteran, now on his sixth NFL team, accounted for every point the Titans scored. Slye finished with the second-most fantasy points among kickers in the opening week, despite the tough matchup against Denver's defense. In Week 2, the Titans host the Los Angeles Rams, who just allowed Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn to hit three field goals and finish as a top-five kicker in Week 1. While Slye wasn't on the fantasy radar entering the season, he's emerging as a viable streaming option you can trust this week.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson made his only kick attempt, a 35-yarder, in the Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns. He also made both extra-point attempts. The Bengals offense had issues getting anything going in the opener, with quarterback Joe Burrow tossing for 113 yards off a miserable 14-for-23 passing (60.9%). Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins also struggled, combining for five receptions. With that in mind, a poor offensive showing in divisional matchups hasn't been that uncommon for Cincy over the years, so there's reason to believe a turnaround for Burrow and company could be on the horizon. If the signal-caller can lead the offense into the Red Zone more often than he did against the Browns (there's a good chance he will), McPherson should be more productive in Week 2, making him a practical choice for any fantasy lineup.
