Jake Moody's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody will become the third rookie kicker in the past decade to start a Super Bowl when the team faces the Kansas City Chiefs indoors at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday. Moody has struggled at times during his first year in the league, finishing 20th among all qualifiers in field goal percentage at 84%, even though he was near the bottom of the league in attempts longer than 39 yards with nine. For context, Jacksonville's Brandon McManus led the league with 23 such attempts. Moody has had a rocky road in the postseason as well, missing two of five attempts. It hasn't been all bad though, Moody set the NFL record for most consecutive extra points made (60) since the try was moved back to the 15-yard line in 2015. While fantasy managers may be reluctant to trust a rookie kicker in the biggest game of the year, it's worth noting that the last two rookies in the Super Bowl -; Jake Elliott and Evan McPherson -; went a combined five-for-five on field goals in their games. In what figures to be a close, relatively high-scoring contest Moody will cede the top option to KC's Harrison Butker but Moody could bring value to DFS players who would rather spend more cash on other positions.

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody will look to keep a mostly successful postseason going smoothly when the team faces the Detroit Lions at home in the NFC Championship Game. Moody, who set the NFL record this season for most consecutive extra points made since the try was moved back to the 15-yard line in 2015, made all three last week in the Divisional Round versus Green Bay. He also sank a 52-yard field goal after having his first attempt, a 42-yarder, blocked. 72-degree weather is in the forecast for Sunday's game, with no precipitation and virtually no wind. With an over/under currently above 50, the 49ers offense is expected to provide plenty of opportunities for Moody to gather points in this one, making him arguably the top choice among kickers this round

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody will kick off San Francisco's postseason run on Saturday night versus the Green Bay Packers in the Divisional Round. Moody's rookie season has been a success, even while ranking in the bottom of the league in field goal attempts due to his historic extra-point prowess. In Week 18 versus the Rams, Moody ended a streak of 60 straight extra points converted, an NFL record since the extra-point attempt was moved back to the 15-yard line in 2015. Green Bay's defense has been unspectacular lately, allowing 32 points to Dallas last week, which should put Moody in a position to put points on the board consistent with his regular season performance. The weather is expected to be moderately rainy with wind gusts maxing out at 20 mph and shouldn't be a big issue. DFS players unwilling to spend the extra cash on Justin Tucker should consider Moody a high-floor option, leading the tier below.
