The Packers are staging a full-fledged kicking competition between veteran Mason Crosby, who last season converted an NFL-worst 63.6 percent of his field goals, and first-year kicker Giorgio Tavecchio.

Coach Mike McCarthy ramped up that competition on Monday in large part because the Packers were so inept on offense in Friday’s 17-0 loss to the Arizona Cardinals that they didn’t attempt any field goals. And once again, there were signs of problems by Crosby on Monday. On a perfect day with little wind, Crosby had the only miss of a 16-kick period, when he was wide left from 46 yards.

Fantasy Impact: 

This might be a way to light a fire under Crosby. Then again, the life of a kicker in the NFL can come to an end pretty quick so don't rule out Tavecchio taking this job if Crosby continues to really struggle. Whoever wins the job will likely be in position to put up a lot of points.
