Phil Dawson Fantasy Stats

The Arizona Cardinals placed kicker Phil Dawson (hip) on Injured Reserve on Monday and elevated kicker Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Dawson made just five of eight field-goal tries on the season but was perfect on 15 extra points. He was never a fantasy factor in one of the worst offenses in the NFL. Gonzalez should be avoided by fantasy owners the rest of the way.

Arizona Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson (hip) is active for Week 12 against the Chargers. Dawson returns for the first time since Nov. 11 against the Chiefs. He's made just four of six field-goal attempts this year and is not a recommended fantasy option in perhaps one of the worst offenses in the league.

Arizona Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson (hip) was limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. The limited practice means he should be able to play in Week 11 against the Raiders. The 43-year-old isn't a fantasy option, even in a good matchup, though. Dawson has made just four of six field-goal tries on the year and is perfect on his 14 extra points. Arizona's offense just doesn't move the ball consistently enough for Dawson to be in play in fantasy.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (heel) and kicker Phil Dawson (hip) are both active for Week 8 against the 49ers. Gresham is the second tight end behind Ricky Seals-Jones and is more of a blocking option. He can continue being ignored in fantasy. Dawson has made just three of five field goals this year while kicking for one of the worst offenses in football. He has no business being in fantasy lineups.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (heel) and kicker Phil Dawson (hip) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 8 against the 49ers. Gresham was a new addition to the practice report on Friday but should play as Ricky Seals-Jones' backup. Gresham should be avoided in all leagues. Dawson injured himself on Thursday and could need Matt McCrane, who the Cardinals signed Friday, to step in and kick for him. Either way, whoever is kicking for this bad Cardinals offense isn't worth a look in fantasy.

With Arizona Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson (hip) injured, the team signed free-agent Matt McCrane to their practice squad on Friday. McCrane was cut by the Cardinals in the preseason and then joined the Raiders, where he went 5-for-9 on his field-goal tries before being released. Offensive lineman Kyle Friend was cut in a corresponding move. Dawson is just 3-for-5 on field goals this year and has made all 11 extra-point tries. In one of the worst offenses in the NFL, fantasy owners should continue to steer clear of this kicking situation.

Arizona Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson has retained his job as the team's kicker over rookie Matthew McCrane. McCrane was challenging Dawson, who is entering his second season with the team after a long career with the Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers. For the year, Dawson is expected to be a K2 with decent upside if the team's offense lives up to its billing. Dawson has been a reliable kicker for fantasy football owners for years. He should continue to do so during the 2018 season.

Free-agent place kicker Phil Dawson agreed on a two-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals, the team announced. The 42-year-old Dawson was 18-for-21 (86.7 percent) in his fourth season with the Niners in 2016, and he missed just one extra point. Despite his age, Dawson remains one of the more consistent kickers in the league, and he should see many more field goal opportunities in the desert. Consider Dawson more of a low-end fantasy booter.
