How we project: each kicker's recent scoring, weighted toward the latest games and blended with last season's average, then adjusted for the kicker points the opponent's defense allows and for injury status. Scoring: field goals of 0–39 yards 3 points, 40–49 yards 4, 50+ yards 5, extra points 1, and −1 for any missed kick. Backups and kickers on a bye are left off.
