SUMMARY
Kicker Rank: #1 Overall: #114
Despite missing three games with a groin injury, Vinatieri finished among the league leaders in points with 113. Imagine what he could have done in a full season. Vinatieri has 110 or more points in five of his last six seasons. He is an extremely accurate, clutch kicker ? maybe the most clutch kicker in the history of the game. And playing in the Colts explosive offense should give Vinatieri plenty of chances.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
He vaults to the top of the kicker rankings this season. He has a ton of potential in this offense and could near 140 points this season.

Fantasy Impact: He is missing a lot more kicks this season, which is kind of alarming. But as long as he is playing for the high-scoring Colts, Vinatieri is worth using on your fantasy team.

The Associated Press reports Indianapolis Colts PK Adam Vinatieri struggled during the team's Week 2 game. He made field goals of 22, 39 and 20 yards. However, he had an extra point blocked and he missed a 36-yard field goal wide left. Vinatieri also had a field goal partially blocked, but it bounced off the crossbar before going over. Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher said, "There were some things out there I've never seen before. I've never seen a ball tipped, and then hit the cross bar and go in. That's the good fortune of the world champs."
