Nick Folk News
Sunday, August 23, 7:37 AM
Atlanta Falcons kicker Nick Folk brought some stability to Atlanta's kicking game in Saturday's 34-6 win over the Colts, making both of his field goal attempts and all four extra points. The field goals were from 50 and 51 yards out, so there is still some length left in the 41-year-old's leg. The veteran kicker is coming off a solid 2025 campaign in which he converted 28 of 29 field goal attempts (career-long of 58) and all 22 of his extra points while kicking for the Jets, though that effort still landed him well outside the top 12 for fantasy (K21). The Falcons should be a slight upgrade over the Jets offense, and not having to deal with the elements inside the dome in Atlanta should be a benefit as well. Folk ranks No. 24 in RotoBaller's kicker rankings, but there is potential to outproduce that projection. Still, he's more of a streaming option than a kicker to draft for the entire season.

Trey Smack News
Wednesday, September 23, 1:38 PM
Green Bay Packers rookie kicker Trey Smack enters Thursday's Week 3 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons as a strong streaming option after delivering in the clutch against the Jets. Smack converted both field-goal attempts in New York, hitting a game-tying 34-yarder late in regulation before drilling the 26-yard winner in overtime. He is now a perfect 5-for-5 on field goals through two games, including a 59-yarder in the opener that stands as the second-longest field goal in Packers history. The game environment should continue to provide scoring opportunities, with Green Bay favored at home and carrying an implied team total near 25 points. Atlanta has also allowed opponents five field-goal attempts through its first two games. Smack's proven range gives him additional upside if Green Bay stalls after crossing midfield. RotoBaller currently ranks him K9 in Tier 3 for Week 3. Fantasy managers can confidently use Smack as a top-10 streaming kicker, with additional tournament appeal in Thursday Showdown formats.
