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.

Jake Bates a Solid Starting Kicker Option in Week 5

Friday, October 9, 7:51 PM

Across four games in 2026, Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates has connected on all seven of his field goal attempts and all 14 of his extra point tries. Bates had his best game of the young season in Week 4, converting four field goal attempts in Detroit's loss to the Carolina Panthers. In Week 5, Bates and the Lions will take on the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona has struggled to keep its opponents off the scoreboard in recent weeks, allowing at least 31 points in each of its last three games. Detroit has also been one of the NFL's highest-scoring offenses so far, averaging 29.8 points per game. In a potentially high-scoring Week 5 affair against the Cardinals, Bates profiles as a steady top-12 kicker for fantasy managers.
