The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released kicker Ryan Succop on Thursday. Succop spent the last three years with the Bucs, but he'll now look for work elsewhere heading into the 2023 season. In his time in Tampa, he made 84 of his 99 field-goal attempts and went 132-for-141 on extra points in 50 regular season contests. The 36-year-old kicker went 31-for-38 on his field goals and missed one of his 25 extra-point tries in 17 regular season games for the team. In his 14-year NFL career, Succop has made 82.9 percent of his 320 field-goal tries during the regular season and has been successful on 96.1 percent of his extra points.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop did not attempt a kick in the 31-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, as the team opted to go for a two-point conversion after both of their touchdowns. Succop had one of the worst fantasy seasons of his career, so the scoreless finale in the playoffs is a fitting end. The Buccaneers' offense wasn't good enough to yield big numbers for the veteran kicker. However, Succop's value could shift before next season if the Buccaneers' offense improves or if he's on a new team in 2023.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop did not have a great regular season. The Tampa Bay veteran finished the 2022 schedule with an 81.6 percent success rate on field goals, which was his lowest since 2011. He converted only two field goals over 50 yards, missing five of his seven attempts. This Monday night, the Buccaneers face off against the Cowboys in the wild-card round. Dallas tied for the fourth most field goal attempts per game (2.4) allowed on the road this year, however, Succop has proven too inconsistent to trust. Find a better option on the waiver wire for wild-card weekend.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop made both of his extra point attempts and his only field goal attempt in the 30-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 18. Succop was a hot fantasy kicker early in the season, but finishes tied for the No. 16 kicker in total fantasy points scored between Week 1 and 18. The 36-year-old veteran made 31-38 field goals and 24 of 25 extra points this season tied to an underachieving offense led by Tom Brady. The Buccaneers have a potential out on his contract this off-season, so there's a chance he could be kicking for a new team next year, or not kicking at all after his worst statistical (field goal percentage) season as a Buccaneer.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop has not been a great fantasy football kicker in 2022. Through 17 weeks, he ranks 15th in his position with 127 points. He missed two of three field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point tries in Week 17's 30-24 win over the Carolina Panthers. He has reached double-digit fantasy points in only one of his last seven games. With a friendly matchup coming in Week 18 versus the Atlanta Falcons, one would think the opportunities will be there for Succop. However, based on his lack of production this season, there are zero reasons to have faith in the Tampa Bay leg man. Look for better options on the waiver wire with possible fantasy championships at stake.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop didn't have his best day kicking versus the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. The veteran kicker only made one of his three field goals during the victory. He also missed an extra point attempt as he finished with four points in the 30-24 win. The Bucs have the No. 4 seed locked up, so they will likely rest their starters next week. That being said, the Bucs offense is unlikely to have much success during the regular season finale. It's hard to imagine them getting into scoring position often with backups playing. It's best to avoid Succop for Week 18 as there should be better streaming options available.
On Sunday versus Arizona, Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop had his best performance in over three months, converting four field goals and one extra point. It was also his first multiple-field goal game since Week 9 against the Rams. This was a welcome sight for kicker-needy fantasy managers as we head into championship weekend. Like the rest of the offense, Succop has struggled this season to find consistency and production on a regular basis. However, it appears his showing in Week 16 could be a sign of things to come. The Buccaneers have a friendly matchup at home versus Carolina in Week 17, and Succop should be considered a solid streaming option.
Ryan Succop Perfect, Drills Game-Winning Field Goal In OT
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop drilled all four field goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals. In Sunday's victory, he connected from 38, 35, 42, and 40 yards. Tom Brady led the Bucs' offense to a 66-yard drive to set up Succop for the game-winning field goal in overtime. From 40 yards out, the veteran drilled the game-winning field goal to send Tampa Bay to victory. It was the third time this season that Succop made four field goal attempts. Succop has been one of the most reliable fantasy kickers this year and will look to build on Sunday's performance against the Panthers in Week 17.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop has not scored double-digit fantasy points since Week 9. Additionally, the Buccaneers' offense has struggled mightily in recent weeks, which has meant fewer opportunities for the Tampa kicker. He connected on a 21-yard field goal and made both his extra points in Sunday's 34-23 loss to the Bengals. He has not produced a multiple FG outing in five consecutive games and is just two for six on tries from 50-plus yards. Tampa Bay faces a vulnerable Arizona defense in Week 16, however, Succop is a risky play due to his continued lack of fantasy production.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have struggled in recent weeks and the offense isn't scoring a ton of points. In Sunday's 35-7 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay kicker Ryan Succop missed a 55-yard field goal attempt and made his only point after attempt. Despite registering only one fantasy point on the afternoon, things are looking up for the Buccaneers' kicker moving forward. Tampa Bay faces the Cincinnati Bengals this week, a team that has allowed the 2nd most fantasy points per game (9.8) to the kicker position. Succop is a solid streaming option for Week 15.
