Greg Zuerlein

Memories of Zuerlein's outstanding 2017 season with the Rams keep him on the forefront of fantasy managers' minds, but the fact is that he hasn't been nearly the same kicker since. He missed seven field-goal attempts and three extra-point attempts last year, but was a solid fantasy starter simply because of his volume. He led the league in field-goal attempts with 41, and was accurate within 50 yards, missing just a single kick. But he simply couldn't hit from long range, going just 3-for-9 from 50-plus yards. With Dak Prescott back, the Dallas offense should put up plenty of points, which should again provide Zuerlein with a ton of opportunities. If he can rediscover his accuracy from long distance, he'll likely be a stud option, but even if not, he's a fantasy starter.

Fantasy Impact

Zuerlein is a veteran kicker, and this likely doesn't mean much more than giving him a break at the beginning of camp. The former All-Pro is a favorite of Cowboys special teams coordinator John "Bones" Fassel, who consistently fields one of the league's top units. Zuerlein executed a knuckleball onside kick to help the Cowboys miraculous comeback in Week 2 against the Falcons. He made 34 of his 41 kicks last season with a long of 59 yards.
