Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro hasn't gotten many opportunities to kick field goals the past few weeks. Over the past four games, he has only attempted three field goals. The silver lining for Pineiro is that between Weeks 10 and 13, he made nine of his 11 field goal attempts. In Week 18, the Panthers take on their division rivals, the Atlanta Falcons, who have allowed the sixth most fantasy points to opposing kickers, giving some hope for Pineiro in this contest. However, the lack of consistent attempts makes it difficult for fantasy managers to trust Pineiro in this one. The 29-year-old comes in as K27 in the latest RotoBaller kicker rankings for Week 18. There are likely better options at the kicker position for fantasy managers.
Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro hasn't been much of a fantasy option over the last few weeks. In fact, Pineiro has only two field goal attempts over his last three games. Last week, Pineiro connected on 3-of-4 extra point attempts and his lone field goal in the win over the Arizona Cardinals. Now, Pineiro heads into a matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. A team he made three field goals against in Week 13. The 29-year-old also missed two field goals during that game. Pineiro might be active this weekend, but he's far from a lock in terms of a solid fantasy kicker.
Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro is coming off a tough outing during the Philadelphia Eagles last week. Pineiro made his lone field goal attempt and made 1-of-2 extra point attempts in the loss. The 29-year-old has now missed a week in two straight weeks. The Panthers offense finally coming alive has given Pineiro more streaming appeal lately. However, he remains a risky streaming choice ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Pineiro has three misses over the last two games, so fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help ahead of Week 15.
Carolina Panthers placekicker Eddy Pineiro had his most productive outing of the season against the Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran knocked through four field goal attemptsall from within 40 yardsalong with his sole extra point. It's been a struggle this year for Pineiro despite missing only one field goal attempt. The Panthers' offense has been anemic for large stretches of the season, rendering his job anemic by association. However, second-year quarterback Bryce Young has led some productive outings recently, bringing Pineiro back to fantasy relevance. Facing a lackluster Tampa Bay defense in Week 13 could bolster some scoring opportunities, putting Pineiro on the streaming radar in deep leagues.
Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro (knee) is active on Sunday for the Week 12 contest against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs. Pineiro apparently injured his left knee while celebrating after making the game-winning kick in Germany in the overtime victory over the New York Giants, but he had last week's bye to rest up and is good to go this weekend. The 29-year-old should be avoided for fantasy purposes, though, in Carolina's inconsistent offense as they take on an underrated Chiefs defense. Pineiro has only attempted 13 field goals (successful on 12) on the year and has made all 17 of his extra-point opportunities. The Chiefs defense has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to the kicking position this year, and Pineiro just hasn't had enough volume in the kicking game to warrant fantasy attention.
