Summary

Kicker Rank: #60All Players: #882
Rackers had the second best point total of his career last season, scoring 135 points. He averaged 130 points the last two seasons with the Texans. He made 84 percent of his kicks, which was his lowest total since 2007. For his career, he makes 80 percent of his field goals and has improved his accuracy through the years. He heads to Washington this season to compete for the starter's job with Graham Gano. Rackers has the experience and better track record, so he is considered the favorite to win the job. Rackers has 110 or more points six of the last seven seasons. If he starts, he'll play in an offense that should be better this season and provide him a decent amount of chances. Rackers doesn't have a hug leg anymore, but can still make some long kicks.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Accuracy used to be a concern with Rackers, but he has improved in that area. He'll need to win the starting job first but if that happens, he has value as a low-end No. 1 kicker. He can get 110 or so points in this offense. Don't expect a ton of long-distance kicks, though.
