Fantasy Football Player Notes: Kickers

Jake Bates (DET)

Jake Bates ended his first season with the Lions as the full-time starter as the 8th-highest scoring kicker in the league’s top scoring offense (PFF’s 4th-highest graded kicker). If the Lions offense regresses in the red zone, Bates should see his field goal attempts spike.

Will Lutz (DEN)

Will Lutz finished as fantasy’s 8th-highest scoring kicker in 2024, averaging 9.4 PPG. It was his best season since 2019. But despite playing in Mile High, Lutz was outside the top-15 in attempts from 50-plus yards. However, he was nearly perfect from 20-49 yards with just one miss (including PATs). Nobody was better from 40-49 yards than Lutz in 2024 (100%).

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.
