Kaeding had a breakout season, setting career highs and finishing near the top of the league in about every kicking category. Kaeding made 90 percent of his kicks and finished the season with 136 points. Playing in the Chargers explosive offense really got Kaeding some chances. In three seasons, his career low in points is 112. He averaged 121 points during that stretch. Kaeding has pretty good leg strength and continues to improve his accuracy. The Chargers remain a strong offensive team, helping their kicker produce above-average numbers.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Kaeding is a top option at kicker and won't last long once the kickers start to go in your draft. Another season with 130-plus points is possible in that offense.
