| Saints | New Orleans has close kicker competition |
Thu, 03 Sep 2015 13:26:44 -0700
New Orleans Saints PKs Zach Hocker and Dustin Hopkins have kicked well during practice and the preseason games and remain in a close competition for the kicker job. Head coach Sean Payton said the final preseason game will be important for both players.
Fantasy Tip: Hocker and Hopkins do not have a lot of experience in the NFL, so whoever wins the kicker job may not be a great fantasy option despite playing for a team with a good offense.

| Bills | Rian Lindell released |
Mon, 19 Aug 2013 05:53:19 -0700
The Buffalo Bills released PK Rian Lindell. PK Dustin Hopkins will handle the kicking this season.
Fantasy Tip: Hopkins is a sneaky play early in the season before the bad weather hits. The offense will go as C.J. Spiller goes. They could have some firepower that could lead the Bills into field-goal territory often. Hopkins makes a good matchup play and worthy of watching on your waiver wire.

| Bills | Rian Lindell hasn't separated himself |
Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:34:28 -0700
Buffalo Bills PKs Rian Lindell and Dustin Hopkins haven't separated themselves in the competition at place kicker this preseason. Each kicker attempted 12 field goals in practice Wednesday, Aug. 14; Lindell was 11-for-12 with a miss coming from 45 yards and Hopkins was 10-for-12 with his misses coming from 35 yards and 47 yards. Hopkins has great leg strength but is trying to fix his approach and follow through.
Fantasy Tip: Lindell is the favorite to win the job, but based on his performance thus far and the uncertainty surrounding the team's QB position, it wouldn't be wise to select him as your PK in your fantasy draft.
