Jake Moody Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody has had a solid start to his NFL career, hitting six of six field goal attempts, including one from 57 yards, and making all six of his extra point chances. The 49ers will host a suspect New York Giants defense in their home opener on Thursday night which should make Moody a decent floor play since his team is likely to take quite a few snaps in New York territory. Wind shouldn't be much of a factor, as the forecast at Levi's Stadium includes gentle to moderate breezes throughout the game. Moody checks in as a playable option in 10-12 team leagues in Week 3.

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody had a performance on Sunday in Los Angeles against the Rams that was nearly identical to the one he had in Week 1. This week he was 3-for-3 on field goal attempts from 27, 57, and 26 yards and made all three of his extra-point attempts. The one significant difference between last week and this week, though, was the impressive distance and accuracy on his first career 50+ yard attempt, which he made with plenty of distance to spare. With the successful day, Moody is starting to build a case for being a must-roster player in most fantasy leagues. He'll look to continue the hot start to his career when the New York Giants come to the Bay Area for the 49ers home opener on Thursday night.

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody hit field goals of 41, 32, and 40 yards with no misses last week at the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also nailed all three of his extra-point attempts. It remains to be seen whether Moody can ascend to hang around perennial top fantasy producers like Justin Tucker, Harrison Butker, and Tyler Bass, but the 49ers brass certainly think so after spending a third-round pick on him in this year's draft. Last week's performance was a great start to that end. This week the 49ers should spend plenty of time in Rams territory in Los Angeles, given San Francisco's offensive firepower and swarming defense. Fantasy managers who aren't currently rostering one of the top names could do way worse than starting Moody in Week 2.
