Blair Walsh Fantasy Stats

The Atlanta Falcons signed free-agent kicker Blair Walsh on Saturday. The 29-year-old is a former All-Pro that was taken by Minnesota in the sixth round in 2012. He hit 84.2 percent of his kicks in five years with the Vikings and was last with Seattle in 2017, where he made 72.4 percent of his kicks. Current kicker Giorgio Tavecchio has struggled this preseason, so Walsh will push him for the job as Week 1 approaches. Atlanta's kicker position could yield nice fantasy points in 2019, but this is a situation to avoid in fantasy until we have more clarity.

The Miami Dolphins held a workout for free-agent place kicker Blair Walsh on Monday, according to a source. Walsh spent just one year in Seattle and hit 21 of his 29 field goal tries (72.4 percent), while missing his only kick from 50-plus yards. He's an 82.4 percent kicker in his six years in the NFL and has hit 24 of a possible 35 kickers from beyond 50 yards. Walsh would probably be an upgrade for Miami, but he wouldn't receive much fantasy consideration on a team whose offense may not be nearly as explosive in 2018.

Embattled Seattle Seahawks kicker Blair Walsh knocked through three extra points and his only field goal try on Sunday to give him a perfect week for the first time in nearly a month. Walsh's struggles have been magnified by the tight wild-card race in the NFC and the fact that some of his misses have cost Seattle wins, but he's still productive from time to time. For fantasy purposes, owners need to truly be desperate to turn to the volatile kicker, though.

The Seattle Seahawks continue to have kicking troubles as Blair Walsh came up short on a last-second game-tying field goal try on Monday night. Walsh isn't entirely to blame for the loss as head coach Pete Carroll made an earlier choice that cost the team an additional chance for three points, but Walsh completely flubbed his chance to be the hero by leaving the 52-yarder short and wide. Walsh has struggled throughout the season, but this far in, it's unlikely Seattle will make a change.

Seattle Seahawks kicker Blair Walsh let the team down on Sunday by missing three field goal tries in a game where the Seahawks eventually lost by just three points. He missed wide left all three times on distances of 39, 44, and 49 yards, but head coach Pete Carroll told reporters on Monday that the team will not consider replacing Walsh at this point due to his performance prior to Sunday's game. Walsh was previously 12-for-13 on field goal opportunities in 2017.

The Seattle Seahawks took a risk by picking up kicker Blair Walsh, someone who famously lost his job because of a muffed kick against Seattle, but he seems to be working out just fine for them so far. Walsh put the only Seattle points on the board in Week 1 as he knocked down all three field goal opportunities the team provided for him. Walsh's long was just 41-yards, but given Seattle's ongoing offensive woes, he could prove to be a valuable commodity who will likely see a large number of chances in 2017.

It looks like new kicker Blair Walsh is fitting right in with the Seattle Seahawks. Walsh was given four field goal opportunities on Friday night against the Chiefs, and he drilled all four. None of them were 52-yard boomers like his revenge kicks last week against the Vikings, but Walsh was able to hit from 21, 36, 41, and 47 yards out. With an offense that famously struggled in the red zone last year, consistency will be key for Walsh. Head coach Pete Carroll was quick to heap on praise after the game, bringing up Walsh first to reporters.

Seattle Seahawks newly acquired kicker Blair Walsh got the opportunity to face off against his old team on Friday night, and he made two monster kicks. Walsh nailed two 52-yard boots to help put the Vikings away, but the moment that was grabbing headlines before the game was over was his stare-down of the opposing sideline after making the first one. Asked about it after the game, Walsh told reporters that Minnesota was taunting him throughout the game, so he meant for the response to be a lighthearted attempt of throwing the shade back at them.

Walsh nailed all three of his extra point attempts Monday night, but again missed a field goal. Head coach Mike Zimmer, during last night's broadcast of the game, looked furious following the miss. The miss separated Walsh from double-digit fantasy points, as he failed to reach that mark for the third straight week. This inefficiency is becoming worrisome as the Vikings could certainly start shopping around for new kickers if the missed field goals persist. He can safely be dropped in fantasy, and replaced with someone heading into a solid matchup.
