Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski (back) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Sept. 9. It is not known yet whether Janikowski will be out for the season due to disc issues in his back or whether Janikowski will miss a partial section of the season.

Fantasy Tip: What is known is that fantasy owners with Janikowski are now free to look elsewhere for a kicker. Janikowski will likely be gone for at least eight weeks, and PK Giorgio Tavecchio has no fantasy value and little job security.

Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski (back) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 8, and is listed as questionable for Week 1.

Fantasy Tip: Janikowski may be a game-time decision, so owners will need to check the inactive list for his status. Owners probably should look for healthier options to use in their lineups.

Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski and the team resolved their "contractual differences" Wednesday, Sept. 6, according to sources.

Fantasy Tip: This ensures that the longest-tenured Raider will remain in Oakland. Once one of the true elite kickers around the NFL, Janikowski isn't as consistent as he once was, but he still has value to offer fantasy clubs given the potent offense he plays with.

Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski (back) looked "awful" in practice Monday, Sept. 4, according to a source, as his back has been slow to recover. The team worked out three kickers Monday.

Fantasy Tip: A previous note mentioned his status was rocky because he refused a pay cut, and this puts him at a big risk of being cut. If you're drafting late, you may want to avoid him for now. If you own him, a contingency plan is worth considering for Week 1.

Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski's status with the team is uncertain because he has refused to restructure his contract to this point, according to a source. He is scheduled to make $4 million this season and could be released if he does not agree to the reworked deal.

Fantasy Tip: Janikowski has been a reliable fantasy kicker since he has entered the NFL. He probably would find a team quickly if he is released, but owners may want to look for other kickers for Week 1.

Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski booted a 52-yard field goal in second quarter of the Week 3 game against the Tennessee Titans. He is the new NFL career leader in field goals made from 50 yards and out, breaking a tie with former Detroit Lions PK Jason Hanson.

Fantasy Tip: Janikowski continues to produce at a high rate and remains a solid fantasy option, especially in formats which reward longer made field goals.

Oakland Raiders PK Giorgio Tavecchio is competing with PK Sebastian Janikowski for the kicker job during training camp, according to special teams coach Brad Seely. Seely said Janikowski is the frontrunner because of his experience.

Fantasy Tip: Janikowski likely will win the job during the preseason and will be kicking for a team that has a high-powered offense. Janikowski may be worth a late-round pick in deeper leagues.

Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski will set the team record for most games played in Oakland franchise history in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos, and he isn't showing signs of slowing down at age 37. Janikowski has made all seven of his field goal attempts this year and all 10 extra points. "You look at my stats?" Janikowski asked. "That's how I can tell. I'm doing the same thing I did 10 years ago, hitting 60-yarders in warmups before games. I don't see the difference. The more you do, the more you work out, you can be strong." He's the Raiders all-time leading scorer and needs just five field goals of 50 yards or longer to break Jason Hanson's NFL record of 52. Janikowski has been in much better shape in recent seasons and said he lifts more weights than he did earlier in his career and manages the amount he kicks each week to stay fresh.

Fantasy Tip: A lot of fantasy owners may simplay ignore Janikowski because of his age and because of team he plays for. But the Raiders are much more dangerous offensively in 2015, and you can't argue with Janikowski's booming leg and success rate. With many kickers struggling with extended extra points this year, Janikowski's fantasy value is only rising.

Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski (quadriceps) practiced in full Friday, Sept. 5, and is probable for Week 1 against the New York Jets.

Fantasy Tip: Janikowski has lost a step or two as he nears the end of his career, and he dealt with similar nagging injuries for much of last season. He won't cost you much at FantasyScore ($3,000, 6% of cap), but there are probably more reliable options to start the year.

Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski (quadriceps) fully participated in practice Thursday, Sept. 4.

Fantasy Tip: Janikowski looks to be ready to go for the team's Week 1 game. While he may be healthy, Janikowski may not have a lot of opportunities due to the team starting a rookie quarterback.

Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski (quadriceps) practiced in full Wednesday, Sept. 3.

Fantasy Tip: Janikowski was listed on last year's practice and injury reports often with the same injury. He'll play in Week 1, and we expect him to be near full health. With a rookie quarterback at the helm, though, Janikowski's chances at three-point and extra-point tries may be few and far between.

Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski (quadriceps) is expected to be ready to play in Week 1 against the New York Jets, according to head coach Dennis Allen.

Fantasy Tip: Janikowski has been a pretty reliable fantasy kicker for years, but in Week 1 at likely less than 100 percent, he's not a great pick for daily games. Oakland's offense is facing uncertainty at the quarterback position, too, meaning they may struggle to move the ball against the Jets.

Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski (quadriceps) will likely be out until the regular season as he nurses a quadriceps injury.

Fantasy Tip: It's probably just precautionary, but still something worth tracking. If your league rosters kickers, Janikowski is worth a look.

Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski (quadriceps) was scratched for the preseason game against the Green Bay Packers Friday, Aug. 22, due to a right quadriceps injury.

Fantasy Tip: Sea Bass should be fine for the regular season, but he is nothing more than a bye-week replacement in most fantasy leagues at this point of his career.
