Tyler Bass Returns as a Low-End Week 1 Streamer

Saturday, September 12, 7:40 AM

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass will make his first regular-season appearance since 2024 when Buffalo visits Houston on Sunday. Bass missed all of 2025 because of a sports hernia injury but enters the opener healthy. In his last full season, he converted 24 of 29 field-goal attempts. The matchup lowers his Week 1 appeal, as Houston allowed just 17.4 points per game in 2025, second-fewest in the NFL. RotoBaller ranks Bass K20 for the opening week. Josh Allen gives Buffalo enough offensive upside to keep Bass relevant, but fantasy managers in standard 10- and 12-team leagues can find stronger streaming options for his return.

Rodrigo Blankenship News

Buccaneers Waive Kicker Rodrigo Blankenship

Monday, August 21, 6:14 PM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers waived kicker Rodrigo Blankenship on Monday. Blankenship lost the kicking battle to Chase McLaughlin in training camp this summer and will now look to latch on with another team before the start of the 2023 regular season. The 26-year-old spent last year with the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals, going 4-for-5 on his field-goal tries and 4-for-5 on extra points in just three total games. As long as Tampa doesn't bring in more competition for McLaughlin to close out the preseason, he should enter Week 1 as the team's starting kicker. McLaughlin, 27, made 83.3 percent of his 36 field-goal attempts and made all 21 of his extra-point tries in 16 games with the Indianapolis Colts in 2022. The kicking position in Tampa won't be as exciting in fantasy now that Tom Brady isn't running the offense in 2023.
