Tyler Bass a Strong Kicking Option Against the Raiders

Saturday, October 17, 7:46 AM

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass has converted all nine of his field-goal attempts this season, including three during Monday's overtime victory against the Rams. His final attempt, a 45-yarder, secured Buffalo's 37-34 victory and capped an 11-point performance. Bass has benefited from an offense that has scored at least 24 points in every game this season, providing him with consistent scoring opportunities. The Bills now face a Las Vegas defense that has allowed 102 points over its last three contests, including 45 against New England in Week 5. Buffalo's ability to move the ball should keep Bass involved, whether drives finish with touchdowns or field-goal attempts. Ranked K9 in RotoBaller's Week 6 kicker rankings, Bass is a dependable starting option for fantasy managers who prefer an established kicker attached to a productive offense.

Andre Szmyt News

Browns Tender a Contract to Andre Szmyt

Wednesday, March 4, 12:00 PM

The Cleveland Browns announced on Wednesday that they tendered a contract to exclusive-rights free-agent kicker Andre Szmyt, among others. In his first year in the NFL, Szmyt made 24 of his 27 field-goal tries and missed just one of his 26 extra-point attempts in 17 games played in Cleveland. The 27-year-old will return to Cleveland for the 2026 season and should be expected to open the regular season as their starting placekicker. Szmyt was dependable for the Browns as a rookie, but he was only the No. 26 kicker in terms of overall fantasy points in a Browns offense that didn't create many scoring opportunities. Szmyt averaged only 5.7 fantasy points per game. He was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week in Week 3 in 2025. Szmyt is a solid young kicker, but in 12-team fantasy leagues, you can find better, higher-ceiling options at the position.
