Is our insanity days with Dustin Hopkins done with the deshaun injury? He’s had 6 and 7 points the last 2 weeks, and not going over 2 fg attempts in either. Are we moving on from him?

    Kicker performance more than any other position regresses to the mean.

    Since 2019 there have been ZERO kickers who played a full or close to full slate of games and averaged 12 points a season or more. The closest was a Young Hoe who averaged 11.8 in 2019 but even he only played half the season.

    It seems like with kickers, the strategy is more to avoid the objectively bad kickers and then get comfortable with sticking with one of the top 15 options despite week to week volatility.
