Giorgio Tavecchio Fantasy Stats

Atlanta Falcons kicker Giorgio Tavecchio has struggled this preseason, hitting just four of his seven field-goal attempts. However, he has converted all three extra-point attempts. Tavecchio took over the team's kicking job for veteran Matt Bryant last year, giving him some big shoes to fill. Atlanta should have a strong offense this year and Tavecchio could be a solid sleeper kicker to target if he can put things together.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Giorgio Tavecchio had a relatively disappointing game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Tavecchio can be satisfied in his performance, as he once again did exactly what was asked of him, converting an extra point and a relatively short field goal. However, for his fantasy owners Tavecchio will have returned a poor points output, due to the limited opportunities. The Falcons stalling around the red zone should have music to the ears of the owners of Tavecchio, but that was not the case. The issue was that with the Falcons trailing in the game they had to go for it on fourth down, limited the opportunities for Tavecchio. This may be the last time we see Tavecchio with the Falcons as Matt Bryant should potentially return for Week 11.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Giorgio Tavecchio will once again be kicking for the Falcons against the Cleveland Browns in Week 10. Tavecchio will continue to kick for the Falcons as Matt Bryant recovers from his hamstring injury. With a high flying offense the floor is solid for Tavecchio, who should at least get the opportunity to kick a handful of extra points if nothing else. In addition, there is every chance he will get the chance for a couple of field goals if the offenses red zone woes return on the road. Tavecchio makes for a solid play once again this week, given his mixed of solid floor and relatively high upside.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Giorgio Tavecchio did everything asked of him against the Washington Redskins on Sunday. Tavecchio converted all of his opportunities to remain perfect with the Falcons this season. Unfortunately for his fantasy owners, only one of Tavecchio's kicks were field goals limiting his fantasy points return. In addition, the field goal he got was a short one so there will have been no real distance bonus involved. The good news is that by remaining perfect Tavecchio at least returned a solid number and not a disappointing low score as many kickers have this season.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Giorgio Tavecchio has the chance for another good outing Sunday against the Washington Redskins. The Falcons offense is not at its best when playing outdoors. However, their offense is good enough that they should be able to move the ball relatively successfully at times. The trouble may be finding the end zone and that is where Tavecchio could be successful on Sunday. Tavecchio demonstrated that he can find the target from long distance in the Falcons last game against the Giants so the Falcons should not hesitate to let him kick if their offense stalls in Redskins territory.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Giorgio Tavecchio had a decent first outing in an Atlanta Falcons uniform. Facing the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, the left-footed kicker converted all three of his field goal opportunities, including a long of 56 yards, and both of his extra points. With two 50-yard field goals and a 40-yarder Tavecchio had a superb fantasy point return in leagues which reward length of kick. As long as Matt Bryant is unavailable Tavecchio will remain a solid option for fantasy owners.

Atlanta Falcons newly-signed kicker Giorgio Tavecchio is an interesting risk-reward option for fantasy owners in the Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants. This Falcons offense has been extremely effective at home in converting opportunities into touchdowns, limiting the value of the kicker. However, the counter is that this is a Falcons team who saw their biggest rival humiliate the Redskins in prime time two weeks ago. It may not seem a big deal but the Falcons will likely be going all out to put points up on the Giants this week and that should present opportunities for Tavecchio. However, those opportunities may be limited to just kicking extra points if this offense clicks on Monday.

The Atlanta Falcons are likely to sign free-agent kicker Giorgio Tavecchio to replace Matt Bryant (hamstring) in Week 7 against the Giants on Monday night, according to a source. Tavecchio was with the team in camp before being cut, so he is familiar with them. Bryant owners will have to find a replacement for this week, but Tavecchio probably shouldn't be the answer. He is in just his second season and made 16 of his 21 field goal attempts (76.2 percent) for Oakland in 2017. He also missed an extra point.

The Atlanta Falcons announced that they have signed free-agent place kicker Giorgio Tavecchio on Monday. Tavecchio was recently released from the Raiders after he made 16 of his 21 field goal attempts in 2017. Tavecchio is merely insurance for the veteran Matt Bryant. He holds no fantasy value unless Bryant is injured and won't be ready for the start of the regular season.

The Houston Texans worked out free-agent place kickers Giorgio Tavecchio and Nick Rose on Wednesday, according to sources. Both kickers did well, but Tavecchio is under consideration to be signed. This can't be good news for Ka'imi Fairbairn, who is currently the team's kicker. Tavecchio made 16 of his 21 field goal attempts for the Raiders in his rookie season last year, including going 3-for-4 from 50-plus yards. The Texans offense should be solid this year, but avoid whoever wins the job in fantasy to begin the season.
