Summary

Kicker Rank: #1All Players: #147
Prater had a down year with the Broncos' offense struggling to score points. Prater scored just 87 points and made 76 percent of his field goals. He did miss just one of his field goals less than 40 yards. His accuracy struggles were on the longer kicks. Prater is setup for a better season with Peyton Manning leading the offense in Denver. Prater has 114 or more points two of the last four years so the potential is there for him. Prater still needs to improve his accuracy on longer kicks. He has a great leg and is an asset on kickoffs and long-distance field goal attempts.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Prater could return to elite status this year. Expect a lot more chances for him. It wouldn't surprise to see him score 120 or so points in this offense. He'll make some long-distance kicks and finish with solid point totals.
