Surefire Starter at Kicker
Mason Crosby, Green Bay Packers kicker, kicked 5 extra points and was 2 for 2 on field goals. The Packers play a home game against the Detroit Lions, so Crosby should prepare himself for another high-scoring game.
Riding the Bench
Stephen Gostkowski, Tennessee Titans kicker, missed two field goals in the 40-49 yard range and had another kick blocked in what was a truly awful day for the former Patriot kicker,.
Underrated
Daniel Carlson, Las Vegas Raiders kicker, was practically perfect for his debut..He kicked 2 field goals and was 4 for 4 on extra points. crlson hopes the be used more as the Raiders offense improves during the season.
Overrated
Jake Elliott, Philadelphia Eagles kicker, struggles at times with long field goal attempts, as he missed a 53-yarder in the 3rd quarter against Washington in week 1.
Sleeper KIcker of the Week
Joey Slye, Carolina Panthers kicker, finished third among kickers in week 1 according to the ESPN standard scoring system. IF the Panthers offense plays well against Las Vegas, Slye will ascend to the top kicker’s status.
