Jason Sanders Fantasy

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.

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders could be trending toward Pro Bowl honors in his third season following a pair of 51 and 54-yard field goals that he knocked through during Sunday's win versus the Jets. Sanders has gone 24-for-25 on field goals this year, while also going a perfect 26-for-26 on extra points. By ESPN's scoring system, Sanders has logged four consecutive double-digit point outings, with fortuitous matchups against the Bengals and Chiefs on the horizon. His roster percentage has begun to trend upward as of late, but he has entered near must-roster territory except for the shallowest of season-long formats.

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders was basically the only player on this team that could score in Week 4. Sanders connected on all five of his field goal attempts during the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He finished with 15 of the 23 points the Dolphins scored in this one. The Dolphins offense hasn't given Sanders many chances this season, but he's succeeding when called upon. Fantasy owners who are in desperate need of a kicker might want to take a look at Sanders against the San Francisco 49ers next week.
