Phil Dawson provides a big upgrade to Cardinals' kicking game
The Arizona Cardinals signing of kicker Phil Dawson brings stability and confidence to what was a much-maligned kicking game in Arizona last year.
What It Means:
The Cardinals made kicker a priority this offseason after Chandler Catanzaro missed 7 field goals and 4 extra points in 2016. Dawson, on the other hand, has been steady in San Francisco, making 87.5% of his attempts while missing just 2 extra points in the last 2 seasons. His fantasy value receives a boost as he joins a significantly better offense in Arizona.
Dawson is projected to finish as the 21st-best kicker in fantasy with 34.7 extra points, and 25.3 made field goals for 122.3 fantasy points.
