DET K Matt Prater - Week 15, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 – Matt Prater vs. Minnesota Vikings
In the win over the Bucs last Sunday, Matt Prater kicked FGs of 46 and 23 yards. After a shaky start when he first joined the Lions, Matt has made nine of his last 10 attempts. The first meeting with the Vikings was a low-scoring battle, but look for the Detroit offense to be able to move the ball in the rematch, making Prater a good option.

Week 14 – Matt Prater vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
In the win over the Bears on Thanksgiving, Matt Prater was 2-for-2, kicking FGs from 46 and 40 yards. The Lions should be able to move the ball on the Buccaneers on Sunday, making Prater a decent kicking option.

DET K Matt Prater - Week 13, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 – Matt Prater vs. Chicago Bears
Last week at New England we saw another missed FG from a Lions kicker. While Matt Prater booted three FGs, including a 48 and 49 yarder, he missed from 53. However, for the second straight week, Matt accounted for all of the Detroit points and has made 12 of 16 attempts in his six games this season. Expect the offense to be better at home versus a bad Chicago defense, leading to a good day for Prater. Go ahead and start him.

DET K Matt Prater - Week 12, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 – Matt Prater vs. New England Patriots
In the defeat to the Cardinals last Sunday, Matt Prater made his only two FG attempts to account for all six of Detroit’s points. He banked in a 50 yarder off the upright and also connected on a 28 yarder. Prater has made eight of his last nine attempts, but is a middle-of-the-pack kicker when the Lions are on the road.

DET K Matt Prater - Week 11, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 – Matt Prater vs. Arizona Cardinals
Matt Prater was 2-of-3 on FGs in the triumph over the Dolphins last Sunday. He was true from 26 and 50, but had a 42 yard attempt blocked. In his four games with the Lions, Matt is 7-of-10 on FGs after missing only twice the entire season with the Broncos in ’13. Arizona allows a lot of yards through the air, so look for Prater to have at least a couple scoring opportunities this week.

DET K Matt Prater - Week 10, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 – Matt Prater vs. Miami Dolphins
In the comeback victory over Atlanta in London two weeks ago, Matt Prater booted three FGs, including the game-winner from 48 yards. Prater originally missed the last kick from 43, but a delay of game penalty gave him another chance. After missing two of his first three kicks with the Lions, Matt has made his last four. With Calvin Johnson back in the lineup, Detroit’s offense will be improved, leading to more scoring chances for Prater.

DET K Matt Prater - Week 8, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 – Matt Prater vs. Atlanta Falcons
In the win over the Saints last Sunday, Matt Prater made his only FG attempt – a 21-yarder that he bonked off the upright. Matt is 2-4 on FGs since joining Detroit and has hit the upright twice. Without Calvin Johnson, the Lions are sputtering a bit offensively, but they have a great matchup with the Falcons on Sunday in London.
