Matt Prater Fantasy

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater came into Week 1 as an appealing option in what could have been a high-scoring game. The Cardinals won 38-13 against the Tennessee Titans, with quarterbackKyler Murray notching a total of five touchdowns. Prater made a 34-yard field goal, missed a field goal from 40-plus yards out. He was able to take advantage of the PATs, making all five of them. Prater should be a streaming option throughout the season. Prater, thus far, is tied for the 14th-best performance among kickers in Week 1. Prater and the Cardinals will host the Minnesota Vikings in their home opener next week. The Vikings defense surrendered two field goals and three PATs to Bengals kicker Evan McPherson. Prater should be a solid streaming option for Week 2 as the Cardinals offense will look to build off the momentum from Week 1.

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater is an appealing option for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. Prater is ranked 10th in the kickers category for Week 1. Last season, Prater made six field goals from over 50 yards out. The 37-year-old signed a two-year, $7 million deal with the Cardinals during the offseason. Prater left the Lions after spending seven seasons in Detroit. With quarterbackKyler Murray running an electrifying offense, there will be more opportunities for Prater to rack up points, whether it's extra points or field goals. Throughout the season, Prater should be considered a low-end starting option. It's safe to start him in a Week 1 bout that could be high-scoring.

The Arizona Cardinals signed former Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater to a two-year deal that includes a $7 million base salary with incentives, according to a source. Prater, 36, spent the last seven seasons with the Lions. The two-time Pro Bowler had a disappointing season last year in Detroit, converting on just 21 of his 28 field-goal chances while also making 38 of his 41 extra-point attempts. Although Prater is coming off a less-than stellar campaign, he should be an upgrade over Zane Gonzalez and Mike Nugent from last season. For his career, Prater is an 83.2 percent field-goal kicker and is the most accurate kicker on field goals from at least 50 yards in NFL history at nearly 75 percent. In a Cardinals offense that could be even better in 2021, Prater should at least be on the radar as a low-end starting option at his position.
