Tucker is more than just the best kicker in the NFL--he's one of the best kickers ever. Over seven NFL seasons Tucker has nailed 90.1 percent of his field goals, which is not only the best number in NFL history, but it's nearly three percent better than any other kicker ever (Robbie Gould is second on the all-time accuracy list at 87.7 percent and Stephen Gostkowski ranks third at 87.4 percent). Is a kicker who almost never misses a good thing in fantasy leagues? It seems like it would be.
Lutz has all the tools (and the fantasy situation) that folks should be looking for on draft day. He has everything you want in a kicker; he plays on a high-scoring offense, with his home games inside a dome. He has finished the last two seasons as the second-ranked kicker in fantasy.
Butker made waves this offseason with video of him kicking a 77-yarder on a practice field, and he thinks he has the leg to set an NFL record if it came to that. 'I think definitely when it's warm out,' Butker said, 'I'd be prepared to make that kick. I feel super comfortable kicking from distance. Obviously, we're not going to be kicking field goals from [77 yards] most likely in a game, but it's going to help me a lot when it's a 55-yarder, wind's in your face in January and February. That's what I'm training for, to be able to make those kicks.' Butker is accurate, has a big leg and plays on a great offense. What more can fantasy managers ask?
David Helmab of the Cowboys website expects Zuerlein to rebound in a big way after a down 2019 with the Rams. 'Zuerlein's numbers dipped last year, but he was ridiculously reliable for seven years before that,' he wrote. 'And he was playing through injuries for most of 2019 - a fact of which I'm sure John Fassel is very aware. Combine Zuerlein's ability with Fassel's coaching acumen, and I think the improvement of the special teams could be a huge storyline.' Two years ago, Zuerlein was second among fantasy kickers in points per game--so the potential for a bounceback is there.
