2. Justin Tucker, Baltimore Ravens
Tucker tied Stephen Gostkowski with 38 field goals last year. But in most scoring leagues, Tucker’s long-range conversions — six field goals of 50-plus yards, including a memorable 61-yarder to beat the Lions on Monday Night Football — ultimately allowed him to squeeze past Gostkowski for most fantasy points off field goals, with 136.
1. Steven Gostowski, New England Patriots
He drilled home 38 field goals last season on 41 tries (both NFL bests). Consistency is his calling — he had nearly as many points when the Patriots’ offense was struggling last season (87 fantasy points in Weeks 1-8) as when they kicked it into high gear (89 points in Weeks 9-17). You can’t go wrong with him as number 1.
