Stephen Gostkowski

Patriots' Stephen Gostkowski projected as number one kicker in 2017

Our models project New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski to yield 146.2 fantasy points as this year's top option at the kicker position.

What It Means:

Last year, Gostkowski had his fair share of struggles. He missed three extra-points while his 84.4% field goal percentage represented his worst mark since 2012. As a result, he ranked just 10th in points among all kickers.

This year, we expect the veteran to rebound behind one of the league's best offenses. With projections of 28.7 made field goals and 51.5 made extra-points, Gostkowski is the number one kicker in our Draft Kit. However, on average, Justin Tucker is currently being taken as the top option in most drafts.
