Makes four field goals in finale
Dicker made four of his five field-goal tries and converted both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 34-20 win at Las Vegas.
Analysis: Dicker missed a 51-yard kick wide to the left to start his day in the first quarter, but he was flawless afterwards, putting up 14 points in the Chargers' regular-season finale. He goes into the postseason having made an impressive 39 of his 42 field-goal tries (92.9 percent) during the regular season, including nine of 11 (81.8 percent) from 50-plus yards out. He did miss three of his 36 extra-point tries, however, something he'll be looking to clean up in the postseason and beyond.

Racks up 20 points vs. New England
Dicker was perfect on all four of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries during the Chargers' 40-7 win over the Patriots on Saturday.
Analysis: The Chargers' offense couldn't be stopped, with eight of its 10 drives ending in a score. Dicker was the direct beneficiary of the Bolts' offensive success, and he didn't have trouble with his field-goal attempts, as all four of them were from 41 yards or shorter. Dicker has been perfect over his last eight games, going 18-for-18 on field-goal attempts and 19-for-19 on extra-point tries over that span.

Perfect in win vs. Broncos
Dicker went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries during Thursday's 34-27 victory over Denver.
Analysis: Dicker finished out the big TNF win over the Broncos perfect on all of his attempts, and he hasn't missed a field goal since Week 9 against the Browns. One of his field goals came on an unorthodox free kick with zero seconds remaining in the first half. The fourth-year kicker has now made 31 of 33 FGAs and 27 of 30 extra-point attempts across 15 games this season.

Quiet in loss
Dicker made his only field-goal try and converted both of his two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 40-17 loss versus the Buccaneers.
Analysis: The Chargers were only able to accumulate 206 yards of total offense in Week 15, harshly limiting Dicker's scoring chances. His team has now failed to crack 20 points in each of its last three games, keeping his floor low for the rest of the fantasy playoffs.

Analysis: Dicker made three field goals in the first half, connecting from 45 yards, 51 yards and 34 yards against Atlanta.

Analysis: Dicker has now kicked multiple field goals without a miss in three straight games.

Dicker made both of his two field-goal tries and converted all four of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 34-27 win versus the Bengals.
Analysis: Dicker rode the positive momentum he built up in Week 10 to make multiple field goals without a missed kick for his second game straight Sunday. His longest came from 53 yards out to give the Chargers a 27-6 lead early in the third quarter. The Chargers are set to host the Ravens' struggling defense in Week 12.

Steady in win
Dicker converted both of his two field-goal tries and made all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-17 win versus the Titans.
Analysis: Dicker's farthest kick Sunday came from 37 yards out, just a bit longer than an extra point, so he wasn't necessarily put to the test in Week 10. It was nonetheless a positive development for him, as he had missed kicks in each of his two games prior. He'll be kicking in a dome again in Week 11 versus the Bengals.

Rough outing Sunday
Dicker missed his only field-goal try and converted three of his four extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-10 win at Cleveland.
Analysis: Dicker's missed field goal came from 44 yards out, but since the Chargers already had a 20-3 lead in the fourth quarter, it wasn't very meaningful. What's slightly more concerning is that Sunday's game was Dicker's second in a row with a missed extra point. He'll be looking to bounce back in Week 10 versus the Titans.

Scores 15 points in loss
Dicker converted all five of his field-goal attempts during Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Dicker had a career performance in Arizona, with Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles offense struggling consistently. He ultimately scored every point for the Chargers, and the 40-yarder Dicker nailed with 1:55 remaining in the fourth quarter would've been enough to put the team ahead, had the defense held. He'll look to carry some positive momentum into Sunday's home game against the Saints.

Analysis: Dicker connected on a 50-yard FGA to help give the Chargers a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. However, on their opening drive of the second half he had a 55-yard attempt that missed wide right, his first miss of the season.

Analysis: Dicker didn't get many opportunities in the contest, but he converted when called upon, making a 28-yard field goal in the second quarter. The 24-year-old has gone 6-for-6 in field-goal tries and 4-for-5 in extra-point attempts through three weeks.

Inks four-year deal with Bolts
The Chargers and Dicker agreed to terms Friday on a four-year, $22 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Dicker's new deal reportedly includes $12.5 million guaranteed. As a result of the contract, Dicker is linked to Los Angeles through the 2028 season. In his two-year career, Dicker has converted 52 of 55 field-goal attempts and all 59 of his extra-point tries, making him one of the most reliable placekickers in the NFL.

Analysis: Dicker ultimately signed his exclusive rights tender from Los Angeles, which was originally placed on him March 8. The Texas product connected on 31 of his 33 FGAs last season, which was good for a 94 percent conversion rate, while not missing a single PAT. He may ultimately face competition in camp, but Dicker should have the inside track on the team's kicking job in 2024.

Tendered by Chargers
Los Angeles placed a contract tender on Dicker on Friday.
Analysis: Dicker was an exclusive-rights free agent, and he converted 52 of 55 field-goal tries in his first two pro seasons, so it's no surprise to see the Chargers move to re-up him. Last season, Dicker was good on 31 of his 33 field-goal tries, plus all 35 of his extra-point attempts. His accuracy alone is enough to make Dicker a valuable kicker for fantasy purposes, but his volume could well also increase in 2024 -- Brandon Staley is no longer around to champion aggressive fourth-down calls, and new…read more

Excellent in second season
Dicker converted 31 of his 33 field-goal attempts and all 35 of his extra-point attempts over 17 games for the Chargers during the regular season.
Analysis: After years of poor kicking production, the Chargers appear to have finally struck gold in the form of Dicker, who has missed just three of his field-goal attempts dating back to his 2022 rookie season. He seemed to quell any concerns about long-distance kicks, as the 23-year-old made seven from 50-plus yards out after failing to make his lone attempt from that range in 2022. The introduction of head coach Jim Harbaugh could add value to Dicker's fantasy prospects next season, considering the…read more

Only second miss of season
Dicker converted three of his four field-goal attempts in the 16-9 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Analysis: Dicker's 50-yard field goal in the fourth quarter was blocked, ending what had been a perfect field-goal stretch dating back to Week 3. The emergence of the second-year kicker as a bona fide ace in the hole has been one of the few positive marks for a 5-11 Chargers team devoid of much success. He'll have a chance to solidify his position as one of the most accurate kickers in the league next week.

Dicker made all five of his field-goal attempts and also nailed his only extra-point try in the 24-22 loss to the Bills on Saturday.
Analysis: Dicker put together an absolutely monster performance including a 53-yard field goal that looked like it had another eight yards to spare, but it would have been tough to predict this sort of outcome given Easton Stick led an offense that previously struggled to generate much in a blowout loss against the Raiders last week.

Just three extra points
Dicker made all three extra-point attempts in Thursday's 63-21 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: The game got completely out of hand by the Raiders' fourth possession, so Dicker really had zero shot at having a productive fantasy day. The offense looked downright dreary at times with Easton Stick at quarterback, and given the lack of Dicker's range, the second-year kicker has definitely lost some fantasy luster.

Extra point made
Dicker made his sole extra-point attempt in Sunday's 24-7 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: The Chargers' inability to put together meaningful offensive drives handicapped Dicker, as Sunday was his first outing of the year without a field-goal attempt. The 23-year-old is still 19 for 20 on the season with his sole miss a 53-yarder in Week 3, but with Justin Herbert (finger) done for the season, it's hard to imagine the offense somehow looking more effective in the weeks to come.

Dicker made both of his two field-goal tries in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Poor weather conditions and dreadful offensive inefficiency meant Dicker was the sole catalyst for points on the board, and he delivered by making both of his 38-yard field-goal attempts in the second quarter. The 23-year-old has also not missed a field goal since Week 3. With a proven ability to be consistent week after week, and two or more field-goal attempts in four of the last six weeks, Dicker is a solid start in any league.

Dicker made both his sole field goal and extra point in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Dicker converted his only field-goal attempt from 39 yards in the first quarter and tacked on an extra point in the fourth. The 23-year-old has made every attempted field goal since Week 3, and is 17 for 18 on the year, with his only miss being a 53-yard attempt. The second-year kicker has proven to be accurate throughout the year and will continue to be a solid option for managers if the Chargers hope to overcome their recent drought, especially against a struggling Patriots team in Week 13.

Analysis: Dicker's 55-yard field goal to end the first half was easily a career long and marks his fourth made field goal from 50-plus yards out this season.

No good on long field goal
Dicker missed his lone field-goal attempt from 53 yards out, but he did connect on all four of his extra-point attempts in the 28-24 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Dicker isn't known for his strong leg, so the missed field goal isn't entirely surprising. The second-year kicker is just 1-of-3 on attempts from 50-plus yards in his career, including the playoffs; however, he's missed just one other field goal out of his 26 tries to date. Dicker figures to be in a good spot to add to that total in a matchup against the vulnerable Raiders defense this week.

Dicker is expected to compete against Dustin Hopkins for the kicking role with the Chargers, Eric Smith of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Hopkins had been sidelined with an undisclosed injury for the majority of camp up until now, which has led to Dicker taking on all the kicking responsibilities. However, it now looks like this is going to be a legitimate competition. Dicker made all six of his field-goal attempts in the competition at practice today and is now 58-of-64 (90.6 percent) at camp in kicks that were being counted.

Analysis: Dicker finished last season converting 21 of his 22 field-goal tries and all 24 of his extra-point attempts. After leading the NFL in field goal percentage in his rookie season, the 22-year-old certainly did enough to give the Chargers confidence in handing over the starting job to him for the 2023 campaign.

Dicker missed one of his four field-goal attempts but made all three of his extra-point tries in Saturday's 31-30 loss to the Jaguars in the wild-card round.
Analysis: Dicker missed merely one of 46 total attempts during the regular season, making it a big surprise when he missed from 40 yards during the fourth quarter. Although he still made kicks from 22, 23 and 50 yards while scoring double-digit points, Dicker's misfire Saturday proved costly in Los Angeles' narrow defeat. Given his wide success during his rookie campaign, however, Dicker should garner significant interest as a free agent this offseason.

Dicker made his only field-goal attempt along with both of his extra-point tries in the 25-24 win against the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: Dicker remained perfect on both field-goal and extra-point attempts on the season as he continues to fill in for Dustin Hopkins (hamstring), who was placed on injured reserve last week after suffering a setback. Though Dicker has been efficient so far, his fantasy value will continue to be mitigated by head coach Brandon Staley's aggressive play calling, which was evident this past week when the Chargers decided to try the two-point conversion for the win rather than kicking the extra point to…read more

Signed from practice squad
The Chargers signed Dicker off their practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: L.A. was out of practice squad elevations with the undrafted rookie out of Texas, and because Dustin Hopkins continues to deal with a lingering hamstring strain, he was placed on IR to make room on the roster for Dicker for at least the next four games. In three appearances so far with the Chargers, Dicker has made all seven of his field-goal attempts and all six point-after tries, averaging exactly nine points per game.

Returns to practice squad
Dicker reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Dicker served as the Bolts' starting kicker for the third week in a row as Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) remained out for Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The practice-squad kicker converted both of his field-goal attempts and his lone point-after-try Week 11, and he has now gone a perfect 7-for-7 on his field-goal tries while making all six of his PATs over the past three games. Dicker will now require a full active-roster spot to continue filling in for Hopkins moving forward this season.

Kicking with Hopkins out
Fellow Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) is
Analysis: Dicker's enjoying a strong rookie season. He's been perfect when called upon to this point, making all seven field-goal attempts and going for 5-for-5 on PATs in three games for the Eagles and Chargers.

Set to start once again
Dicker was elevated to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Dicker, who won AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors back in Week 9, is poised for another start with Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) listed as doubtful for Sunday. This also marks Dicker's third and final practice-squad elevation, meaning the Chargers will either need to sign the rookie kicker or subject him to waivers come next week.

Goes back to practice squad
Dicker reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Dicker kicked for Los Angeles in place of the injured Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) in both Weeks 9 and 10. Dicker hit all three of his field-goal attempts (including a 47-yarder) and his only extra-point try in Sunday's loss to San Francisco, but he'll now head back to the practice squad. If Hopkins is unable to play again Week 11, Dicker could get another opportunity to handle kicking duties, though the Chargers would need to sign him to the active roster since it would be his third elevation.

Suiting up again Sunday night
The Chargers elevated Dicker from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at San Francisco.
Analysis: Dicker will handle kicking duties for the Chargers for a second consecutive week Sunday. He knocked through both of his point-after tries and both of his field-goal attempts in Week 9 at Atlanta. After Week 10, the Chargers will only be allowed to activate him for one more game before he would need to be signed to the active roster in order to suit up.

Set for kicking duties Week 10
The Chargers plan to elevate Dicker from the practice squad to have him serve as their kicker in Sunday's game against the 49ers, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) not yet ready to return to action, Dicker will handle kicking duties for the Chargers for the second game in a row. The undrafted rookie out of Texas took home AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors for Week 10 after converting both of his extra-point tries while nailing two fourth-quarter field-goal tries -- including a game-winning 37-yarder as time expired -- in the Chargers' 20-17 victory over the Falcons.

Heads back to practice squad
Dicker reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Dicker handled kicking duties for Los Angeles with Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) out for Week 9, and he converted both of his field-goal attempts, including a 37-yarder as time expired to secure the win. Dicker also made both of his point-after tries and is a perfect 4-for-4 on both field-goal attempts and PATs across two games between the Chargers and Eagles this season. Hopkins could return to face the 49ers in Week 10, but if he doesn't Dicker would likely get elevated again.

Will kick for L.A. in Week 9
Dicker, who signed with the Chargers' practice squad Thursday, will be elevated to the 53-man roster and handle kicking duties for Los Angeles during Sunday's game in Atlanta, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Dicker will become the third Chargers kicker of the season, following in the footsteps of Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) and Taylor Bertolet (quadriceps). Hopkins remains on the Chargers' active roster but is week-to-week and not on track to suit up Sunday, while Bertolet was moved to the Chargers' practice squad injured reserve Thursday with an injury of his own. The Chargers likely won't add Dicker to the roster until Saturday, but he'll be in line to make his second career NFL appearance Sunday.…read more

Added to practice squad
The Chargers signed Dicker to the practice squad Thursday.
Analysis: Dicker previously spent time with Philadelphia's practice squad this season before being waived by the team this past Thursday. The undrafted rookie was elevated for the Eagles' Week 5 win against the Cardinals, making both of his field-goal attempts and going 2-for-2 on PATs. With Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) still sidelined and Taylor Bertolet (undisclosed) now on the Chargers' practice-squad injured list as well, Dicker should serve as the team's best option at kicker against Atlanta on Sunday.

Cut by Philadelphia
Philadelphia cut Dicker from its practice squad Saturday.
Analysis: Dicker was elevated to the active roster for Week 5 with Jake Elliott out due to an ankle injury and made all four of his kicks, including a game-winning field goal. However, Elliott has been healthy over the last few weeks, leaving Dicker stranded on the practice squad. He was let go to make room for defensive end Tarron Jackson and will look for a new opportunity elsewhere.

Reverts to practice squad
Dicker reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Dicker was elevated to the active roster with Jake Elliott out with an ankle injury. Not only did Dicker connect on both of his field-goal attempts and PATs, he booted the go-ahead and eventual game-winning field goal with 1:45 remaining. If Elliott is unable to go Sunday against the Cowboys, Dicker will likely handle kicking duties again.

Wins game in NFL debut
Dicker made both his field goals and both his extra points in his NFL debut Sunday against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Dicker got the start in place of Jake Elliott (ankle) and did not disappoint. He got the chance to ease his nerves with a pair of extra points early in the game and added a 42-yard field goal in the middle of the third quarter. Later on, he put the Eagles ahead by a 20-17 score by drilling a 23-yarder with 1:45 left. That stood as the game-winning kick, as Cardinals' kicker Matt Ammendola missed a 43-yard kick to tie it up with 22 seconds to play. If Elliott remains unable to go Sunday against…read more
