Justin Tucker DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Baltimore Ravens executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta revealed the team's release of veteran kicker Justin Tucker in an official statement on X. Amid allegations of potential misconduct, the thirteen-year pro is out in Baltimore. The 35-year-old is currently still the league's most accurate kicker, though Kansas City's Harrison Butker is hot on his heels and could overtake him. Before 2024, Tucker was seemingly a shoo-in for best kicker in fantasy, but things took a turn with the news of allegations against him. Never falling under an 82.3% success rate in a given season, his production cratered last year -- setting career-lows in makes and attempts (22-for-30) while missing two extra-point attempts for the first time since 2019. It's unclear what the outcome will be regarding his legal issues, nor if he'll find a job with another NFL team. It's an unfortunate instance that tarnishes a fantastic career.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that kicker Justin Tucker has been in the team's building and has been working out. From the coaching end, Harbaugh said all kicking decisions regarding Tucker and rookie Tyler Loop will be based purely on football since the team is still waiting on the results of the league's investigation of Tucker. The 35-year-old veteran's career and tenure with Baltimore hangs in the balance this offseason due to numerous allegations of sexual misconduct. In addition to that off-the-field issue hanging over his head, Tucker hasn't been the elite kicker we're used to seeing in the last couple of seasons. The seven-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro made a career-low 73.3% of his 30 field-goal attempts in 17 regular-season games in 2024. Even if he sticks with the Ravens, a lengthy suspension could be coming his way in 2025.

Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said on Tuesday at the NFL Combine that he has met with kicker Justin Tucker and that the Ravens will allow the NFL to conduct its investigation before making any decisions. "The allegations are serious, concerning. The amount of allegations are serious and concerning. I think we're fortunate that the league is doing an investigation. We'll wait as patiently as we can for as much information as we can and we'll make our decisions based on that," DeCosta said. Sixteen women have alleged sexual misconduct at massage parlors against the 35-year-old Tucker, and the Ravens have said in the past that they have a "zero-tolerance" policy against sexual misconduct. Not only could Tucker be facing a lengthy suspension from the NFL in 2025, but the Ravens could outright release him, especially after he had the worst season of his career in 2024.
