Jason Sanders Fantasy

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders signed a long-term extension before the season. However, he has been off to a slow start through the first six games. To be fair, the Dolphins offense has been horrendous, which doesn't give him many chances to make field goals. In Week 6, Sanders connected on two of three field-goal attempts in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The return of quarterbackTua Tagovailoa didn't impact Sanders' fantasy value like some may have hoped. There isn't much reason to trust that the Dolphins will fix their offensive issues before their matchup with the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7.

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders has been one of the more reliable kickers over the last season or so. That being said, he was a popular target for plenty of fantasy managers on draft day. Sadly, Sanders has not been able to get many field goal opportunities this season. The loss of starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) is significant. However, Sanders knocked down two long field goals during the Week 3 loss. The Dolphins offense did much better with Jacoby Brissett under center. Although, the Indianapolis Colts have allowed the 11th fewest points in the league. There probably won't be a lot of kicking chances for Sanders in Week 4. He'll be off the streaming radar for this one, but hopefully he'll regain value soon.

The Miami Dolphins are signing kicker Jason Sanders to a five-year, $22 million contract extension on Tuesday that includes $10 million guaranteed and ties him to the team through the 2026 season, according to a source. The All-Pro is one of the league's top kickers after making 36 of his 39 field-goal attempts in 2020, with a long of 56 yards. Sanders was the only every-day kicker in the NFL last year to make all of his extra-point tries, making all 36 of them. He's Miami's all-time leader in field-goal percentage (86.5) and has converted 77 of his 89 career attempts. A seventh-round selection in 2018, Sanders is now fourth in the league in per-year average in terms of salary. While Miami's quarterback situation is a bit shaky after Tua Tagovailoa struggled in his rookie season, the Dolphins offense should be good enough to make Sanders a strong fantasy kicker in 2021.
