Austin Seibert Fantasy

Detroit Lions kicker Austin Seibert is an interesting player to evaluate in fantasy football. The Lions' offense looks good, but Lions' head coach Dan Campbell is one of the most aggressive coaches in the league, and often goes for it on fourth down in the red zone. That said, Seibert will likely be an up-and-down fantasy kicker. He should kick a ton of extra points, but it's tough to expect many field goal attempts. All kickers are "boom-or-bust" since their fantasy production is reliant on a ton of outside factors, but Seibert is one of the top "boom-or-bust" guys in the NFL. For now, roll with a kicker who has a history of solid fantasy production before confidently inserting Seibert into lineups.

Detroit Lions kicker Austin Seibert doesn't have much appeal in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. Kickers are tough to predict and any kicker can boom or bust any week, but since Seibert doesn't have a strong resume of fantasy production, there are plenty of options to consider before inserting him into fantasy lineups. The Lions offense looks competent, at least, but head coach Dan Campbell isn't the type of coach to settle for field goals on fourth down in the red zone. Seibert made five extra points in Week 1 but didn't notch a single field goal.

Detroit Lions kicker Austin Seibert is an uninspiring play in fantasy football, as the Detroit offense isn't expecting to be a high-scoring unit, and Detroit was a bottom-10 team in field goal attempts a season ago. Lions' head coach Dan Campbell is as aggressive as NFL coaches come, as the Lions led the NFL with 41 4th-down attempts on offense. Detroit is going to play to win, so don't expect a ton of easy field goal opportunities in this matchup. With no kickers on a bye or dealing with major injuries, Seibert is not worth consideration in the kicker slot.
