What It Means:

Tucker's 38-for-39 effort in 2016 ranks fifth-best all-time among place kickers. The former Texas Longhorn knows that the bar is high, but is looking forward to the challenge of trying to surpass expectations. “Expectations are high for us, especially after the season we had kicking the ball. I appreciate that,” he said. “I wouldn’t have it any other way. I wouldn’t want our fans, our beat writers, the front office, our coaches, anybody around me to be OK with average, and we certainly are not. We are constantly striving for perfection in everything that we do.” Tucker's bid for a perfect season kicks off against Cincinnati in Week 1.

Our models rank Tucker as the 4th-best kicking option in Week 1. We project him for 8.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $5,000.
