Jake Moody Responsible For All Of 49ers' Scoring On Thursday Night
San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody went 2-for-2 on field goals during Week 15 against the Los Angeles Rams. His conversions came from 47 and 53 yards out, giving some fantasy managers yardage-based scoring boosts. Moody's six points represented the entirety of the Niners' scoring on Thursday Night Football as they fell to the Rams, 12-6. Although this was a frustrating outcome for San Francisco, it's promising to see that Moody's fantasy value can survive even when the offense struggles to find a rhythm. The 25-year-old now ranks 12th among kickers in fantasy points per game this year, making him a fringe option for managers heading into the 49ers' Week 16 battle against the Miami Dolphins.
San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody will kick off the NFL's Week 15 when the Los Angeles Rams come to town for Thursday Night Football. Last week in a 38-13 home victory over the Chicago Bears, Moody made his only field goal attempt, a 23-yarder in the second quarter. He made all five of his extra-point attempts. Los Angeles' defense hasn't been good, allowing the sixth-most yards in the NFL, but they are nearly equally bad at preventing touchdowns in the red zone. Even if San Francisco's offense is humming like last week, it could be another extra-point game for Moody. In addition, Moody has struggled with accuracy, posting a field goal percentage of 76.9, compared to a league-wide average of 83.5%. Moody is Rotoballer's 18th-ranked kicker in Week 15.
San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody went 5-for-5 on extra points and also made his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears. His successful field goal came from 23 yards out in the waning minutes of the first half. The 25-year-old is averaging 8.6 fantasy points per game, but he ranks 22nd among kickers in fantasy points over his last four contests. Moody can be left on waivers heading into Week 15 against the Los Angeles Rams.
San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody will face the Chicago Bears at home in a Week 14 matchup on Sunday. Last week in snowy Buffalo, the second-year-pro drilled his first field goal attempt from 33 yards out before missing his final two attempts from 45 and 55 yards. He made his only extra-point try. It's hard to blame Moody for the misses given the weather -- especially the long one which was probably too much to ask. That said, Moody has had his fair share of failed attempts in his short career. Still, a kicker's fantasy value hinges most on the state of his offense, and San Francisco's has a big downward arrow next to it at the moment due to injuries at multiple positions. Since making three field goals -- and missing three -- upon his return from an ankle injury, Moody has come in under projections for three consecutive games. There are probably better options as Moody is RotoBaller's 16th-ranked kicker in Week 14.
Jake Moody Not A Great Play For Week 13 In Buffalo
San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody is in Buffalo for a Week 13 matchup against the Bills. Since missing three field goals in his first game back from a multi-week ankle injury, Moody has been perfect, hitting two-of-two field goal attempts and all three extra-point tries. When confidence is high in San Francisco's offense, Moody is almost as good a fantasy choice as any, but this isn't one of those times. Buffalo's defense is decent, but the real problem is the state of the Niners' offense. Although quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) is expected to play, San Francisco's offensive line will be missing All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams and starting left guard Aaron Banks (concussion). Offensive weapons Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel Sr. have been slumping and a cold, loud, possibly snowy Highmark Stadium isn't exactly the best get-right situation for the Niners -- or for Moody's accuracy for that matter. In most leagues, fantasy managers can do better than Moody in Week 13, doubly true if Purdy were held out again.
Jake Moody A Decent Option In Week 12 At Green Bay
San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody will kick off to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday. Last week, Moody hit his only field goal attempt from 33 yards while making both extra-point attempts. It was a welcome sight one week after missing three of six field goal attempts in Tampa upon returning from an ankle injury. The Packers' defense is ranked 15th in the NFL in yards allowed per game and 10th in points allowed. The weather in Green Bay is expected to be mild, with temperatures in the 40's, 10-mph winds, and no precipitation. San Francisco will be without quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder), and All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) will be a game-time decision. As backup quarterback Brandon Allen takes the ball, the uncertainty surrounding San Francisco's offense coupled with Moody's recent accuracy issues take Moody's outlook down a peg or two. Still, the second-year pro is RotoBaller's fifth-ranked kicker heading into Week 12.
Jake Moody To Recalibrate In Week 11 Versus Seahawks
San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody will kickoff to the Seattle Seahawks in a Week 11 home matchup on Sunday. Last week, Moody had fantasy managers pulling their hair out, as they watched the second-year pro miss three consecutive field goals (49, 50, 44) before hitting the game-winner from 44. In 2023, Moody went through a stretch where he missed three of five attempts, including a potential game-winner in Cleveland, which had some in the media speculating about his job security. He would recover though, only missing two the rest of the way. San Francisco is sticking with the 2023 third-rounder once again. Hopefully, Moody can right the ship and demonstrate that last week's misses were a product of rust in his first game back from an ankle injury that took a month to heal. Seattle's defense is in the bottom third of the league, so Moody should get opportunities to put up points. He's a top-5 option in Week 11.
San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody (right ankle) logged a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the team's final injury report. As a result, he will play in Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Moody has been sidelined since the end of Week 5, at which point he had gone 12-for-12 on extra points and 13-for-14 on field goals through five games. He earns significant volume as a result of the 49ers' strong offense, pairing his high usage with Moody's fantastic accuracy. The 24-year-old finds himself among the top 12 fantasy kickers for Week 10.
For a second straight day this week on Thursday, the San Francisco 49ers listed kicker Jake Moody (ankle) as limited in practice. Moody has missed the last three games due to a high-ankle sprain but is on track to return in Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after coming off last week's bye. The 49ers already cut fill-in kicker Anders Carlson on Tuesday, so all signs point to the 24-year-old booter returning on Sunday as one of the better fantasy options at the position. In addition, the Niners are getting All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) back, which should only make the offense more productive. Before spraining his ankle, Moody made 13 of his 14 field-goal attempts while making all 12 of his extra-point tries for the Niners.
San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody (ankle) was listed as limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday coming out of their bye. A high-ankle sprain that Moody suffered in Week 5 has kept him out for the last three games, but he's now on track to make his return to kick against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday. The Niners already cut fill-in kicker Anders Carlson on Tuesday, signaling that they are confident that Moody can play this weekend. He had the benefit of getting extra rest during the team's Week 9 bye. Fantasy managers not happy with their current kicking situation should scoop Moody up immediately if he's somehow on the waiver wire. Before getting hurt, Moody had made 13 of his 14 field-goal tries (2-for-3 from 50-plus yards) and all 12 of his extra points in five games. He's a high-end fantasy kicker when healthy.
