Scouting report

DAL K Greg Zuerlein - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs Chargers

Greg Zuerlein had some awful moments in Week 1 led by three missed kicks. Offseason back surgery kept Zuerlein out of camp and from kicking in general and it showed. Zuerlein has received support from coaches and management but is going to be on the hottest of seats if he disappoints Week 2.

DAL K Greg Zuerlein - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Buccaneers
Rain and wind are expected in Tampa Bay Thursday night but the majority of the wetness and wind will subside prior to kickoff. That said, Zuerlein is attached to a high-powered offense that could falter in their road-opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Zuerlein is no stranger to kicking from distance and could see multiple field goal attempts if the Cowboys' offense is good but not great.

DAL K Greg Zuerlein - 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Greg Zuerlein is attached to one of the more potent offenses in the NFL, especially if the Cowboys replicate parts of the first four weeks of the 2020 season. Zuerlein hit double-digit points in eight weeks last season and had a season-long of 59 yards. ‘The Leg’ nickname can stay for this season.

Fantasy Downside

Kickers are unique and predicting their weekly production is a difficult task. 2021 was his first season since 2015 in which he missed 10-plus combined extra point and field goal attempts.

2021 Bottom Line

Zuerlein enters 2021 as our 5th-ranked kicker because of the Cowboy offense and his ability to make some of the longer field goal attempts. He is a good value in the last couple of rounds as long as kickers do not come off the board earlier in drafts.

LAR K Greg Zuerlein - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Well, Greg Zuerlein is a kicker. So there's that. That being said, our projections make him the highest-scoring kicker in the NFL for 2019. He was the highest-scoring kicker in 2017, and the 12th-highest scoring kicker in 2018. The Rams' offensive potency and efficiency makes him a near-lock for top-12 production at the position.

Fantasy Downside
Well, Greg Zuerlein is a kicker. So there's that. He's the highest-ranked kicker by ADP, which virtually guarantees you will have to devote a pick to the position earlier than you should want to. Zuerlein has also had a herniated disc, a groin injury, and a foot injury in the past two seasons.

2019 Bottom Line
If the rest of your league also follows the ideal path and waits until the final two rounds to draft a kicker, there could be an opportunity to attain value if Zuerlein is there in the next-to-final round. There is simply too much week-to-week variance at the position to reach for kicker earlier.

STL K Greg Zuerlein - Week 17, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17: Zuerlein vs. Seahawks
Greg Zuerlein was three-for-three on extra point tries and two-for-two on field goal attempts in the Rams' Week 16 loss to the Giants. He ranks as our No. 32 kicker for Week 17 so look elsewhere for kicking help on Sunday.

STL K Greg Zuerlein - Week 16, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16: Zuerlein vs. Giants
Greg Zuerlein was two-for-two on field goal attempts in the Rams’ Week 15 loss to the Cardinals. He ranks as our No. 18 overall kicker for Week 16 and should be avoided on Sunday. There are likely better options available on your waiver wire if you’re in need of a kicker.

STL K Greg Zuerlein - Week 15, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15: Zuerlein vs. Cardinals
Greg Zuerlein had a disastrous day in Washington last Sunday, missing two field goals and an extra point in the Rams' 24-0 victory. He did rally to make one field goal and an extra point in the second half but it was a rough day for the youngster. Given the Rams' inconsistent offense, avoid Zuerlein in fantasy leagues. There are better options available if you're in need of a kicker.
