2.1 FG tries projected, just over the 2.0 league median this week.
SF's offense stalls in the red zone 1.4 times a game (2025) — that's where kicker points come from.
Vegas has SF at 22.8 points as 3-point dogs.
97% on field goals (2025), with a 50-plus make in 5 games.

The call

Projection of 8.7 points ranks him K10 — squarely in startable territory in a 12-team league with no designation and PK1 status.
The offense is projected for a 22.8 implied total and stalls in the red zone 1.4 times per game, which is exactly the profile that turns into the 2.1 attempts and 2.0 extra points modeled here.
He's been automatic at 97% (28/29) with a 59-yard long and five 50-plus makes, so range and accuracy aren't caps on the projection.
Only real wrinkle: open roof with no forecast yet — check wind Sunday morning, but nothing on the sheet argues for benching him.

Verdicts based on PPR scoring.
