SummaryKicker Rank: #16
Overall: #298
Gould broke the 100-point mark for the fifth straight season last year. His accuracy was down (83 percent), making his lowest total since his rookie season. Gould has been rock solid for the Bears thru the years, though. He has made 86 percent of his field goals for his career and averages 114 points per season. Gould also is improving on his long-distance kicks, making 5-of-7 field goals from 50 or more yards the last two seasons. He failed to make a 50-plus yard field goal his first four years in the league. Gould doesn't have a booming leg, but is a very accurate kicker, getting plenty of chances in an above-average Bears' offense.

Gould probably won't lead the league in scoring, but his numbers will be above average for fantasy kickers. He is good for around 115 points and a few long-distance kicks. He is a capable No. 1 for fantasy teams. And the Bears' offense is improving with Mike Martz calling plays, which could give Gould even more chances in 2011. |
Notes |
| Chicago Bears PK Robbie Gould was successful on a 57-yard field goal attempt in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos, and that set a franchise record. The old record holders were former PKs Kevin Butler and Bob Thomas, who each had successful 55-yard field goals. Gould came into the game Sunday, Dec. 11, with an 83.3 percent accuracy on field goals of 50-plus yards, best in the NFL over the past three years. |

| With the NFL lockout entering its fifth month, Chicago Bears PK Robbie Gould, the team's player representative, believes there's still hope training camp will begin on time. 'We're not going to miss the season,' Gould said. 'The players want to get a settlement done, but they're not going to take an unfair settlement. And if we miss a season, that's really unfortunate. I think at the end of the day, when you get a group of people in the rooms working like they're working to get a deal done, a settlement will be reached and we will be playing football. It's just as to what date we're going to be back and when.' |
