Fantasy Football Player Notes: Kickers

Andrew Erickson shares his fantasy football draft outlook for several kickers.

Matt Gay (WAS)

Matt Gay wrapped up 2024 as the 14th-highest scoring kicker and 13th in PPG (8.7). He was money from 20-49 yards (100% conversion rate), but he was just 3-for-9 from 50 yards. Last year was his final year with the Indianapolis Colts, who released him to save money against the salary cap. He signed a one-year deal with the Commanders with the most guaranteed money for a kicker in NFL history. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts to post-life in non-dome games. Gay has never finished worse than K14 in a full season since 2019. The Commanders were top-5 in FG attempts per game in 2024, with Austin Seibert leading all kickers in PPG (12.8) through nine games. If Gay’s long-distance kicking can rebound closer to his career average (71%), that could put him over the top.

Evan McPherson (CIN)

Evan McPherson will play one game indoors all season in 2025. Therefore, I’d be careful investing too much into him this draft season. The Bengals’ kicker is coming off a season-ending injury and he has failed to finish higher than K14 since his rookie campaign. His FG% has also declined for four straight seasons.
