Week 14 at Buffalo Bills
The forecast calls for snow in the afternoon and sustained winds of 18 miles per hour. Not exactly what you're looking for when looking for a fantasy kicker. Beware. Yes, we know Adam Vinatieri had one of the biggest snow kicks in NFL history, but it's his offense we're worried about here. Find other options.
Week 13 at Jacksonville Jaguars
The Colts offense has an implied team total of just 15.75 points. Only the Browns are lower in Week 13. That means you should not start Adam Vinatieri.
Week 12 vs. Tennessee Titans
The Titans present a good matchup for Adam Vinatieri, but the inconsistent nature of the Colts offense means you should rely more on other kickers who have produced more consistent points this year and play for above-average offenses.
Week 10 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers are third in aFPA vs. kickers, and the Colts only managed seven points against this team without Andrew Luck last year. Vinatieri is not a good option this week.
Week 9 at Houston Texans
Adam Vinatieri has three straight double-digit fantasy weeks, but given the inconsistencies in this offense, a 6.5-point underdog line in Vegas and the sixth-lowest implied team total this week, there are far more reliable options at kicker in Week 9.
Week 8 at Cincinnati Bengals
The Colts were shutout last week and now travel to Cincinnati where they are a 10-point underdog. Take Adam Vinatieri's name away. Would you start a kicker with those factors? No. So, don't start Vinatieri either.
Week 7 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
The GOAT is coming off of back-to-back double-digit fantasy weeks, but that was against the 49ers and Titans. The Jaguars are top-10 in our aFPA vs. kicker rankings. Find a better option this week.
Week 6 at Tennessee Titans
Welcome back, GOAT. Four field goals and two PATs last week, but it's still hard to trust a kicker in an offense with a back-up quarterback. Our rankings reveal better options.
Week 5 vs. San Francisco 49ers
Until Andrew Luck returns to give this offense a lift, Adam Vinatieri should not be considered a fantasy starter. Leave him on the waiver wire.
Week 4 at Seattle Seahawks
The Colts are a 14-point underdog this week. Adam Vinatieri has not cracked 7 fantasy points in a game this season. Start him in Seattle? Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
