Matt Prater News
Thursday, January 15, 3:53 PM
Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater (quadriceps, calf) has been cleared to kick in the Divisional Round this Saturday against his former team, the Denver Broncos. Prater was held out of Tuesday's practice, was a full-go on Wednesday, and was limited on Thursday. The 41-year-old veteran aggravated a quad injury in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the New York Jets, but he was active last weekend and handled field goals and extra points in the Wild-Card win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Prater made both of his field goals (one from 50-plus yards) and all three of his extra points against the Jags. He'll have the thin air in Denver to his advantage on Saturday, but at less than 100% in a tough matchup, Prater is on the lower end of kicking options this weekend. The Broncos allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game to placekickers in 2025.

Jason Myers News
Sunday, July 26, 11:07 AM
Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is coming off the best season of his career and remains one of the safest options at the position. He converted 41 of 48 field-goal attempts in 2025, finishing second in the NFL in makes while tying for the league lead in attempts. Myers also connected on nine kicks from at least 50 yards, made all 48 of his extra points, and led the league with 171 points. Seattle may not give him another 48 field-goal tries, but the offence consistently put him in scoring range and trusted him on long attempts. Myers has now made nine field goals from beyond 50 yards in three of the past four seasons, so the range is not tied to one career year. RotoBaller ranks him K4 for 2026. Fantasy managers do not need to reach for a kicker, but Myers belongs near the front of the position once the final rounds arrive.
