Matt Prater Fantasy Stats

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater has been a reliable player through 11 games this season, connecting on 15 of 17 field goal attempts and 32 out of 34 extra-point tries. The 41-year-old may have limited range at this point in his career, as he's attempted just two field goals from 50-plus yards out on the season, making one and missing one. In Week 13, the Bills will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers. Through 12 weeks, Pittsburgh ranks 19th in the NFL in points per game allowed (23.9). While that points to the Bills being able to move the ball on Sunday, the weather in Pittsburgh may play a factor in the kicking game. The current forecast calls for precipitation and colder weather in western Pennsylvania. Prater profiles as a borderline starting kicker option in Week 13, but fantasy managers should be mindful of potential weather issues and check the forecast before lineups lock on Sunday.

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater has continued to flash just enough potential in the team's high-powered offense to remain relevant in fantasy football. The 41-year-old will look to rack up double-digit points against the Houston Texans on Thursday night for the first time since Week 8. Prater has totaled just 13 points over his last three games. Meanwhile, the Texans are allowing just 5.1 points per game to opposing kickers, the lowest total in the league. With Josh Allen leading the way, expect the Bills to find the endzone multiple times, but Prater's value will come from field goal opportunities, which are shaky at best. Despite the tough matchup, Prater can be used as a streamer in Week 12 and is ranked 10th among all kickers in the latest RotoBaller rankings.

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater did not attempt a field goal in his team's surprising 13-point performance in their Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Prater has now gone two consecutive weeks without a made field goal, as he missed both of his attempts in Buffalo's Week 9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Still, the 41-year-old has generally been solid this season, knocking in 12 of 14 field goal attempts and 26 of 27 extra-point tries across nine games. He should have some chances to get back on the board when the Bills host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11. Through 10 weeks, both Buffalo and Tampa Bay rank in the top 11 in the NFL in per-game scoring. One possible concern for Prater's fantasy outlook in Week 11 is the potential for windy weather in Buffalo, so managers should monitor the forecast on Sunday. Still, Prater profiles as a low-end starting kicker option in Week 11.

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater has been a victim of the offense's success at times this season. The team consistently moves the ball downfield and scores, but the high touchdown percentage has limited Prater's field goal opportunities. The kicker is fourth in the league with 25 extra points made, but ranks just 20th with 12 field goals. Prater's 85.7% conversion rate is adequate, but his lack of opportunities has frustrated fantasy owners throughout the season. Week 10 should bring another positive matchup where Prater maintains a high floor, but will unlikely emerge as a top-tier kicker this week. Despite the lack of high-end scoring, he does remain a steady play for teams in need of a five-to-ten point week from their kicker.

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater remains a high-value kicker heading into a matchup with a Chiefs defense that ranks third against kickers in fantasy scoring this season. Prater has managed to score seven or more points in all but one matchup this season. With the Bills offense running at full speed, Prater has managed to connect on 12 of 13 field goals this season. He has averaged over 9 points per game for fantasy purposes, and should see multiple field goal opportunities in a game that will likely be decided in the fourth quarter. The weather outlook is clear skies tomorrow, setting up for a high-scoring matchup between two high-powered offenses.

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Prater was limited in practice throughout the week, but that won't stop him from playing this weekend. It doesn't sound like Prater is 100 percent healthy, but he'll be able to kick through the pain. Prater has been a viable option as he has only missed two kicks heading into Week 9. He'll be a viable streaming option for this tough matchup against the Chiefs.

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater enters Week 8 as a must-start option facing off against Carolina. The Panthers rank as a top-10 defense in yards allowed, and have allowed scores on just 37.7% of drives, ranking No. 12 currently. The Panthers' ability to slow offenses could lead to multiple opportunities for Prater to put up points this week. The Bills maintain a high-powered offense that can score on anyone, and Prater should benefit again this week.

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater remains a solid streaming option in Week 6, rostered in just 41% of fantasy leagues. Prater has been steady all season, converting 10-of-11 field-goal attempts while benefiting from the Bills' ability to consistently move the ball. Facing the league's top-ranked Falcons defense, Buffalo may find it difficult to finish drives in the end zone, setting up more field-goal opportunities for the veteran kicker. With a strong leg and a reliable track record, Prater offers high-upside potential in what could be a competitive, lower-scoring matchup on Monday night.

Buffalo Bills veteran kicker Matt Prater continues to do excellent work filling in for Tyler Bass (hip/groin) and is now 10-for-11 on his field goal attempts and 15-for-15 on extra points this season. In Week 6, Prater will remain a strong fantasy kicking option, as the Falcons allow the fourth most fantasy points to kickers on the season. At this point, it's unclear if Prater will keep his job or not once Bass returns, but fantasy fanagers needing to stream a kicker in Week 6 should look Prater's way, as the matchup sets up nicely in a game that is expected to have some points, with an over/under of 50 points on most sportsbooks.

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater heads into Week 5 with a matchup that fantasy managers shouldn't overlook, even against a Patriots defense ranked ninth in scoring. While New England has been solid at limiting points, Buffalo's high-powered offense projects to move the ball consistently, creating multiple scoring opportunities for Prater. Currently tied for ninth among kickers in fantasy scoring, Prater has delivered a reliable combination of accuracy and leg strength all season. The Bills' ability to sustain drives and generate red-zone chances gives him a strong floor and a ceiling capable of producing top-tier weekly results. Fantasy managers in all formats can confidently roster Prater this week, as his matchup and consistent production make him one of the most appealing kicker options heading into Week 5.
