The Official Kicker (K) Thread (15 Viewers)

Let’s pour one out for Jake Moody. Seems like a good kid. Neither my, nor the 49ers best draft pick as a rookie, but he was nails until he suffered a high ankle sprain making a TD-saving tackle.

He’s been in his head ever since. I didn’t think a single miss would be enough to cut bait, but I guess Shanny was tired of being asked about him.

I wish him well, and hope whomever we get is better. Because if they’re worse, this is gonna be a bad look.
 
49ers signed K Eddy Pineiro.
The fabled two-update day on Eddy Pineiro has come to pass. At some point this year he’ll probably be fantasy-interesting, though it might not be in Week 2 given how banged up the 49ers currently are.

Your SF 49ers new K. Historically a very solid team to have the K for.

Pinero slightly less historically solid. :oldunsure:
 
Have Loop in multiple lineups, but looking at Fairbairn.

Home. Inside. Should move the ball better against TB, but still could stall.

Also, always love a Monday night kicker. If you're ahead (or getting killed) you can drop them for a lotto ticket (S. Tucker, N. Harris) in case of injury or stash a D (LAC, HOU).
 
#1 Kicker acquired after waivers ran. I dropped Lutz for him, it is none other than Spencer Shrader of the Colts. I don't mind chasing points w/ Kickers.

John Parker Romo is another that had an awesome debut since they sat Younghoe(who I loved),but that situation seems more tumultuous so went with the surprise Colts Juggernaut with Danny Dimes.
 
Jumped on Shrader myself. Just like targets for Wars, FGAs are king for kickers. The Colts haven’t punted yet, and while week 1 was a hapless Dolphins team, week 2 was against Denver.

Indianapolis, Atlanta, and Tennessee are the only teams averaging more than 3 FGAs per game so far. The colts are at 4.5 per game. Might as well ride it with the backing of that scheme and offensive personnel.

If Shrader is gone, Romo also looks like a stud kicker (was really good last year during his stint for Minny).

FYI ...Romo got sent back to Atl practice squd

I think this was required for procedural reasons, supposedly the coach says 90% he gets re-elevated for Sunday.
 
Skimming nflweather.com, Broncos v Chargers and Bengals v Vikings are the only two dome games this weekend. Every other game has from 2% to 43% chance of rain.
 
The Koo cutting is real odd. They cut him on Social media apparently.

Was he that bad??
Missed FG in week 1 that cost them the game.
Something likely happened in the locker room as it's not public, but he then got paid to stay home and not travel with the team. The new guy kicked his way into the job and a contract.

Koo was an 89.9% FG kicker from 2019 thru 2023, then last year he was one of the worst kickers in the NFL. He led the league in misses under 50 yards.
 
Anyone heard if Bass is for sure playing this week? I don’t want to drop Prater until I’m sure Bass is back
Prater showing 0s everywhere I’ve got him
Yeah, me too. But the latest news I saw was that Bass was only ‘eligible to activate the 21-day oractice window to return from IR’ as of this morning.

And the coach said something like “there’s only so much room on the active roster and the game day roster, so we’ve got some decisions to make”.

They have Hairston and Grable to decide on, as well. No official word yet on activating the window for any of them. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm not sure they will rush to bring back Bass, even if he is healthy. There are limits to the number of guys you can bring off of IR in a year, and they may not want to use up that slot if they don't have to. Prater has been solid except for one awful kick. Bass has had his share of awful kicks over the years. What do they really gain by bringing Bass back? I guess they are paying two kickers right now, but other than that it's not an obvious upgrade.
 
Have to shed Dicker although he is a top-3 kicker he's stuck on a dying offense due to injuries.

Looking at the Indy situation, along with Pineiro and Borregales. Nothing much else available on waivers in all my leagues.
