Tyler Bass "Heading in the Right Direction"

Thursday, October 9, 12:55 PM

While Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott remained non-committal on whether kicker Tyler Bass (groin, hip) would be able to play this season, he did say that he is "heading in the right direction," according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Bass remains on Injured Reserve, and the Bills didn't feel comfortable opening his 21-day practice window this week, which means he will not be ready to return for Monday night's contest in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Bills probably aren't in any rush to bring the 28-year-old Bass back, with veteran Matt Prater being a reliable fill-in through the first five weeks of 2025. Prater has gone 10-for-15 on his field-goal chances while making all 15 of his extra-point opportunities for the 4-1 Bills. When/if Bass is fully healthy and ready to resume kicking, he should take back over as Buffalo's starting placekicker.

Tyler Loop Could Bounce Back in Week 8

Saturday, October 25, 11:35 AM

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop was firmly in the K1 discussion across the first two weeks of the season. Then, Lamar Jackson (hamstring) went down, and the entire offense came to a screeching halt. Over the last three games, he's made a combined four out of five field goals and three out of three extra points. In comparison, he was 4-for-4 and 9-for-10 in the first two games. With Lamar Jackson (hamstring) on the verge of returning to the field, Loop should see a noticeable uptick in opportunities as well. Tyler Huntley could start in Week 8, but either way, Loop is trending upwards and could be a starting option again for fantasy managers looking for kicking help.
