Kicker Rank: #23
Overall: #405
Mare enjoyed his third consecutive 100-point season with the Seahawks, scoring 106 points last year, which was his highest with the team. Mare didn't get a ton of chances with the Seahawks, but normally made the most of them. He missed just 10 field-goal attempts in three seasons with Seattle. For his career, Mare has made 81 percent of his field-goal attempts. He doesn't have a huge leg anymore, but it is above average and remains pretty accurate. His new team, the Panthers, could get him a few less looks this season. Their offense really struggled last season.

Mare is a pretty safe bet to reach 100 points. His offense isn't great, but his accuracy has been very good the last few seasons. He isn't a top-notch fantasy kicker, but a serviceable low-end No. 1 or spot starter. |

| Fantasy Impact: At this point, it would be smart to give Kunalic a shot. |
