Is it time to start wondering if Justin Tucker is falling off a cliff?

no...he already fell off the cliff.

Why is that? Over the last 4 weeks in my league, which isn't that different than most, he's #4 overall.

because he can no longer kick 50+ yd fgs accurately anymore. That is what made him special. Lamar has that offense humming such that almost any competent kicker could put up decent numbers there. Its not identical obviously but it is along the same lines as saying Manning hadnt fallen off the cliff because he won a superbowl with Denver at the end of his career.

He's scored 13 points each of the last three weeks.

Hasn't missed any kicks.

Two 50+ yard FGs.

Not sure what everyone is talking about here.

He had the yips the first three games. It happens. Looks like he's straightened things out to me.

OK. I see.

So I'm gathering from this thread that Reichard is the play over someone like Tucker starting this week?

https://sports.yahoo.com/justin-tucker-0-2-50-151956285.html He was well below average last year as well. He simply doesnt have the accuracy from log range as he did in the past. Meanwhile the rest of the league has caught up with his old form. Imo he is still the best Kicker of all time...He has just lost accuracy on his long ball and there is no shame in that.

I stream kickers so I would be the wrong one to ask but Reichard is certainly off to a good start in his career and kicks in a dome most games.

Had a pretty solid game this week.

Please note: I am not advising anyone to do anything with any kicker. I hate kickers, and believe they are the bane of FF.

The league I love the most of my 3 dynasty & 4 redraft is the one that eliminated kickers.

It’s very zen.

Reichard or Aubrey this week?

I have both and going Reichard. Gray's game predictor has a higher projected score for Minn vs Dal.

There's no way in hell I'd ever bench Aubrey. He doesn't miss and he can kick from 70.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but jury duty is never on a Saturday or Sunday.

 

[Panda13]

Can someone convince me that dropping Seibert for Reichard is the right move? Currently, Seibert has 7 more FG's in as many games. That Washington offense seems unstoppable, but doesn't have as many TD weapons as Minnesota. Also, they play Saints (2nd) and Atlanta (1st) in pts given up to kickers in weeks 15 & 17. I also have Daniels, B-Rob and Ekeler and by stacking them with Seibert in that offense, I have a crazy high weekly floor. Can someone convince me to roll w/Reichard is the right move?

I muddied over the same thought yesterday. So far I’ve stuck with Seibert.

Still time to change my mind as Reichert is still there.

One plus for Reichert is he’s already past his bye. If you view them fairly equally, that could be a big plus since you can get him now. The last thing I’d want to do is become too attached to seibert and have to carry two kickers later this year. But I play in short bench leagues.

True that is my other thought. Come week 14 I'd be screwed and would have to carry 2 kickers. Also, Reichard kicks in a dome. He also seems to have a bigger leg. Seibert, although he's been money, doesn't have a good track record of 50+ fgs....but if he's kicking many more fgs in general does it matter?

I made the move from Seibert to Reichard for all of the reasons you list, plus one key one: Washington’s offense could come back down to earth at any minute, but Minnesota’s looks here to stay and that defense will keep them in good field position all season long to kick fgs.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Boswell continually seems to get overlooked in rankings etc. He was ranked like 18 last week in a few places and blew that away. He's kicker 1 in my league but hasn't yet had his bye.

Last time I looked his % owned was around 55%?

Oh…yeah that’s totally normal for K2 almost two months in, eh.

Agreed he is money from long range. To be fair, Reichard is 12 for 12 on the season with 4 of those from beyond 50 yards. Aubrey is 17/19 with one miss beyond 50. Matchup is better for Reichard and indoors vs outdoors at SF.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but jury duty is never on a Saturday or Sunday.

He could be required to be sequestered, of course, if it's a high-profile case. But, it appears this is a strangulation case and not a major murder. Trial expected Thursday and Friday but jury will be able to go home in between. Thankfully he's not on like another OJ case.

They can hold court whenever the Judge wants to but Ive never seen it on Sunday. Saturdays yes ( still rare) but not sunday. Good for him not getting out of jury duty. We all should serve jury duty when called. I can guarantee if I ever needed a jury I would like it to include a cross sample of people not just the ones who have nothing better to do than be a jurror.
