Mason Crosby Fantasy

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby (calf/back) will play on Sunday against the Vikings. Crosby is a reliable kicker who has made all nine of his field goal attempts this season, though there's reason to be worried about starting a kicker in fantasy who isn't at 100 percent this week. Factor in that most of his projected opportunities this week are extra points and we see plenty of reason to look elsewhere to shore up this spot.

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby (back, calf) and offensive tackle David Bakhtiari (chest) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Vikings. Crosby at least got in a limited practice on Friday, giving him a chance to suit up this Sunday in the divisional matchup. But he's in danger of missing the first game of his career, and fantasy managers should be prepared with a replacement at the ready. Inclement weather is also expected in Green Bay this weekend, so Crosby is turning out to be a risky fantasy kicker for Week 8. Through seven weeks of the season, Crosby comes in ranked No. 16 in terms of fantasy points.

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby (calf, back) was held out of practice Thursday for the second consecutive day, which may force Green Bay to get creative Sunday against Minnesota at the kicking position. Crosby has been the team's kicker for every game since Week 1 of the 2007 season, continuing to excel this year while going 9-for-9 on field-goal attempts. Special teams coach Shawn Mennenga is confident that he'll have Crosby at his disposal, but even if that's the case, current weather projections have the wind gusts in Green Bay expected to approach 40 mph on Sunday. The combination of injury concerns and bad weather opens the door for season-long fantasy managers to consider another place-kicking option Sunday despite Crosby's sustained excellence.
