Matt Prater | Denver Broncos | 5-foot-10, 188 pounds | 4th year

Pros: Season No. 2 as Denver's full-time kicker went better for Prater; the former Atlanta Falcon connected on 85.7 percent of his kicks (30-for-35). Over the last two years, he has attempted 34 and 35 field goals, respectively.

Cons: Entering last year, Prater managed just 26 makes on 38 field goal attempts in his first three years. He made gains mainly in the 40-49 range last year (80.0 connection percentage); however, he managed just six of 14 makes in the previous three years.

Fantasy tip: Take a chance on Prater if you're stuck in the last round; opportunities should come his way. He's a low-end No. 1 kicker. The chance of his accuracy lessening is great, though. The worst that could happen? You have to play the waiver wire, which isn't a huge loss.
