Nick Folk News
Saturday, October 17, 8:46 AM
Atlanta Falcons kicker Nick Folk was 3-for-3 on field goal attempts last week, making him 6-for-6 over the last three weeks (9-for-12 overall) while going 12-for-12 on extra points so far this season. The veteran's recent success can be partly attributed to the fact that he hasn't had a field goal try longer than 50 yards since Week 2, with two of his three misses this season coming from 50-plus. The 41-year-old may not be the best streaming option in leagues that reward longer field goals, but there have been many more opportunities for points since Michael Penix Jr. took over at the helm for Atlanta, and this week's matchup against the Bears has one of the highest over/unders on the slate (52.5), so Folk looks like a viable streamer for those managers in need of a kicker this week. He's ranked as the No. 19 kicker overall at RotoBaller for Week 6.

Blake Grupe News
Sunday, October 18, 2:24 PM
Los Angeles Rams kicker Blake Grupe (knee) won't return to Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Grupe suffered a knee injury while making a tackle during a first quarter kickoff. Punter Ethan Evans could operate as the kicker if it's a short kick, but the expectation is that the Rams will just go for it for the rest of the game. Grupe made a 44-yard field goal before exiting this game. Fantasy managers will need to check back on his status to see if he's available for the Week 7 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
