News

  • Has productive day

    Gay converted all four of his extra-point tries and hit a 42-yard field goal in Sunday's 31-20 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Gay's field-goal attempt and make were his firsts on the season, while he remained perfect in PAT attempts, now at 7-for-7. He'll work to say perfect in Week 3 against the Ravens.

  • Doesn't attempt field goal

    Gay converted all three of his extra-point tries but did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 31-21 loss versus Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Watching Indianapolis turn the ball over on downs three separate times in Jaguars territory in Week 1 was probably frustrating for Gay and fantasy managers alike. However, Gay did make good on the opportunities he saw and has now missed just two of his last 100 extra-point tries. In Week 2, Gay will again get to kick in a dome when the Colts visit a Houston team that ceded just one field-goal attempt to Baltimore and Justin Tucker on Sunday.

  • Agrees to record-setting deal

    Gay agreed to a four-year, $22.5 million contract with the Colts on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After signing the biggest free-agent deal for a kicker in NFL history, it's safe to assume Gay will kick for the Colts in 2023 without facing a challenge in training camp. Meanwhile, the Rams will have to find a new kicker after Gay converted 74 of 80 field-goal attempts for them over the previous three seasons.

  • Productive in season finale

    Gay connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and converted his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Gay opened the scoring for the Rams with a 22-yard field goal, and later tacked on field goals from 45 and 38 yards. Gay, who will be an unrestricted free agent, had another impressive season with the Rams, going 28-for-30 on field goals -- his only two misses coming from beyond 50 yards -- and 31-for-32 on extra points. The Rams will likely be keen on keeping the talented kicker, as Gay was one of the few components of the offense that was consistent from start to finish this season.

  • Puts up dud

    Gay connected on a 23-yard field goal and made his only extra-point attempt during Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: A week removed from the best game of the season for the sure-legged kicker, Gay's prospects at repeating his performance appeared promising, as the Chargers defense looked to pose less of a threat than the Broncos defense that the Rams tore apart in Week 16. Aside from a chip-shot field goal to close out the first quarter, however, Gay would only find one other opportunity to produce points, booting a PAT after Malcolm Brown punched in a 21-yard rushing touchdown. The Rams will be looking to…read more

  • Erupts with monster game

    Gay connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and converted all six of extra-point tries during Sunday's 51-14 victory against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Fantasy managers that chose to rely on one of the NFL's most accurate kickers against the top defense in the league were rewarded handsomely, as Gay booted field goals of 55, 53 and 30 yards while adding a whopping six extra-point kicks. Baker Mayfield was able to pick apart the Broncos by relying heavily on his tight ends and Cam Akers, which gave Gay an abundance of opportunities to put up points. A much less intimidating defense is on tap for Week 17 in that of the Chargers, putting Gay back…read more

  • Misses first extra point of season

    Gay connected on both of his field-goal attempts and failed to convert his only extra-point attempt during Monday's 24-12 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Gay hadn't missed an extra point since Week 5 of the 2021 campaign, so the miss in the frigid air of Lambeau Field should be looked at as an outlier, not a trend. In fact, Gay booted a 55-yard field goal in the second quarter, the third 50-plus yard field goal made at Lambeau Field with temperatures under 25 degrees, and chipped in a 33-yarder as well to keep up his stellar 21-for-23 record on field-goal attempts with three games to go.

  • Misses 61-yard field goal in win

    Gay connected on one of two field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point attempts in Thursday's 17-16 win against the Raiders.

    Analysis: It's hard to find fault in Gay's miss of a lengthy 61-yard field-goal attempt, which went wide left, due to an unnecessary roughness penalty called on Coleman Shelton that pushed what would've been a much more manageable 46-yard field goal back. Gay booted in a long field goal from 55 yards in the first quarter and remained perfect on both of his extra points to help secure the Rams' first win in over a month.

  • Ties season high with three FGs

    Gay connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Fantasy managers that were brave enough to start the slumping Gay were rewarded, as Gay connected on a long 54-yard attempt, along with makes from 40 and 32 yards, and continued his season-long perfect streak on extra-point tries. The accurate kicker takes on a Raiders defense that ranks near the bottom of the league in Week 14, which may give Gay more kicking opportunities for a second straight week.

  • Just one field goal in loss

    Gay connected on a 47-yard field goal and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: With Matthew Stafford (neck) and Allen Robinson (foot) joining Cooper Kupp (ankle) on the sidelines, the rest of the Rams' anemic offense did little in helping Gay get into a position to produce. Despite booting a lengthy 47-yard field goal in the first quarter, Gay wouldn't be called into action again until punching in an extra point in the fourth quarter. In Gay's five games since the bye, the accurate kicker has only punched in six field goals and eight extra points. With the entire Rams'…read more

  • Perfect against Saints

    Gay connected on both field-goal attempts and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-20 loss against the Saints.

    Analysis: Gay's production got a major boost in the form of a pair of field goals in the fourth quarter. The strong-legged kicker booted a 58-yard field goal with just 11 seconds left in the game, and he added a 33-yard chip shot at the start of the quarter. This was Gay's best performance for fantasy purposes since Week 4, and the veteran has a nearly flawless 14-for-15 record on field-goal attempts on the season.

  • Quiet against Cardinals

    Gay connected on a 37-yard field goal and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-17 loss against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: It was more of the same for the reliable Gay, as he had another perfect day of kicks, but once again had very little in the way of volume to help make him a viable fantasy option. The Rams looked dreadful on offense with Matthew Stafford (concussion) out, and the impending potential absence of Cooper Kupp (ankle) will only add to the difficulty of Gay finding scoring opportunities in the short term.

  • Makes two field goals

    Gay connected on both field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Gay was able boot his first field goals since Week 6 in the third quarter, hitting attempts from 26 and 35 yards out. Gay's fantasy ceiling is capped by the anemic state of the Rams offense, however, as Los Angeles has only cleared 14 points once since a Week 3 victory against the Cardinals. The Rams' next opponent just happens to be Arizona, which has given up over 30 points in three straight contests, affording Gay a slightly more optimistic outlook in Week 10.

  • No field-goal attempts in loss

    Gay did not attempt a field goal Sunday while going 2-for-2 on extra-point tries in the Rams' 31-14 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Gay failed to produce at least one field goal for the first time this season, but he remained perfect on extra-point attempts, raising his season total to 13-for-13 over seven contests. The kicker remains one of the more accurate options in the league, going 9-for-10 on field goals in addition to his success on extra points. Gay could be more involved in Week 9 against the Buccaneers as both teams will look to rebound off disappointing losses.

  • Perfect performance in win

    Gay made a 21-yard field goal and went 3-for-3 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-10 win against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Gay's second quarter chip shot was his sixth field-goal attempt of under 30 yards on the season. The veteran kicker has made just nine field goals and 11 extra points thus far, disappointing numbers for one of the more reliable fantasy kicking options from the 2021 campaign. The Rams offense did seem to find a rhythm against the Panthers that had been lacking in weeks past, however, and with the team going on bye in Week 7, Gay may find himself with more positive game scripts to produce when…read more

  • Misses 51-yard field goal in loss

    Gay connected on one of two field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The Rams offense had another weak performance Sunday, limiting Gay's opportunities to produce. A 51-yard field-goal attempt in the fourth quarter went wide right, and while Gay did connect on a 29-yard field goal in the first quarter, it marked the fourth game out of five this season where the dependable kicker has had two or less field-goal attempts. The Rams face a struggling Panthers team in Week 6 before going on bye, which may help boost Gay's otherwise pedestrian numbers.

  • Nails three field goals

    Gay connected on all three field-goal attempts during Monday's 24-9 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: It was another perfect performance for Gay, who opened the game with a 39-yard field goal before adding two short field goals in the second and third quarter, respectively. The Rams have struggled offensively to start the year, which is reflected in Gay's limited usage. Week 5 brings the Cowboys to town featuring a defense hasn't given up more than 17 points in a game this season, so scoring opportunities may be at a premium again for the big-legged kicker.

  • Another perfect performance

    Gay connected on two field-goal kicks and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 20-12 victory against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Gay kicked off the scoring for the Rams, punching in a 22-yard field goal in the first quarter, and he added a 40-yard field goal in the second quarter. Gay is a perfect 4-for-4 on field goals and 7-for-7 on extra point attempts on the season thus far, par for the course from one of the more accurate kickers in the NFL.

  • Perfect against Falcons

    Gay connected on his only field-goal attempt and made all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-27 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Gay was busy early, as the Rams scored a touchdown on four of their first five drives. After that, he saw the field just once more, booting a chip shot 20-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. The Rams offense, which struggled heavily in the season opener against the Bills, rebounded well against the Falcons, and Gay will look to continue to contribute in a Week 3 matchup against the Cardinals.

  • Hits long FG in opener

    Gay connected on a 57-yard field goal and made his only extra-point attempt in the Rams' 31-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Gay got only a single opportunity to show off one of the most reliable legs in the NFL during the Rams' season opener, but he did so in spectacular fashion, drilling a lengthy 57-yard field goal in the second quarter to tie the game. That would be the last time Gay would take the field, as the Bills shut down the Rams offense from there. Gay should have more chances to produce in a Week 2 showdown with the Falcons.

  • Perfect in preseason

    Gay went 2-for-2 on field goals and 3-for-3 on extra points during the preseason.

    Analysis: Gay's longest field goal was a 43-yard attempt during the Rams' second preseason game against the Texans. Cameron Dicker went a perfect 3-for-3 on extra points during the first preseason game against the Chargers, but he was waived Aug 16. Gay should have little difficulty hanging on to the starting role on a prolific offense, which should bring plenty of opportunities for the accurate kicker, who made 32 of 34 field-goal attempts and 48 of 49 extra-point tries during the 2021 campaign.

    Gay signed his restricted free agent tender with the Rams on Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gay received an original-round tender from the Rams, and he'll enter his third campaign with the team in 2022. He's been excellent across the last two seasons, combining to hit 46 of his 50 field-goal attempts and 64 of his 65 extra-point attempts.

    Gay, a restricted free agent, received an original-round tender from the Rams on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Rams will now have the chance to match any offer sheet from another team, and Los Angeles would receive a fifth-round pick should it decide not to match. Gay was one of the top kickers in the game in 2021, as he made 32 of 34 field-goal attempts and went 48-for-49 on PATs.

  • Doesn't miss in Super Bowl victory

    Gay connected on his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bengals in Super Bowl LVI.

    Analysis: Gay's only field goal was a 41-yard kick to cut the Bengals' lead to 20-16 halfway through the third quarter. While the 28-year-old kicker was perfect on the night, the kicking unit was not, as holder Johnny Hekker fumbled a snap during an extra-point attempt after the Rams' second touchdown of the game. On the season, Gay connected on 32 of his 34 field goals and 48 of his 49 PATs en route to the best campaign of his three-year career. He's set to be a restricted free agent this offseason, but…read more

    Analysis: The 54-yard missed field goal in the second quarter was the lone blemish of the night for Gay, as he bounced back and connected on the tying and go-ahead field goals in the fourth quarter. Look for the second-year Ram to have another solid showing in the Super Bowl against Cincinnati.

  • Finishes season strong

    Gay connected on his lone field-goal kick and all three extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: The second-year Ram finished the campaign with an elite 94.1 field-goal percentage and missed just a single extra point all season for a 98.0 percentage. Gay should also set up nicely for the postseason and be a solid fantasy contributor for the duration of Los Angeles' playoff run.

    Gay connected on two extra-point kicks but missed a 56-yard field-goal attempt during the first quarter of Sunday's 20-19 win over Baltimore.

    Analysis: This was Gay's weakest showing of the year, and it unfortunately came at a tough time in the fantasy schedule. He's a bounce-back candidate in Week 18 against San Francisco and should be a serviceable contributor for the duration of Los Angeles' playoff run.

    Analysis: Now that Gay is 28-for-29 on field-goal kicks for the campaign and leads the league in field-goal percentage, it's hard to overlook Gay's high-fantasy floor and respectable ceiling. Additionally, he's now hit at least two field goals and two extra points in each of the last four games, so Gay's also contributing when it matters most for fantasy managers.

    Gay and the Rams will no longer play the Seahawks on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

    Analysis: Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. After Tuesday's game, the Rams will face a quick turnaround for Week 16 with a Sunday game in Minnesota on Dec. 26.

Additionally, he's now hit 26 of 27 field-goal kicks and 38 of 39 extra-point attempts for the campaign. Those are high-end numbers in most settings, and Gay should remain a solid fantasy option.

    Gay hit all three of his field-goal kicks and four extra-point attempts during Sunday's 37-7 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: This was a get-right spot for the Los Angeles offense, and the Rams racking up 37 points was a huge boon to Gay's fantasy results. He's been next to automatic this season, connecting on 23 of 24 field-goal kicks and 35 of 36 extra-point attempts. Expect Gay to remain a solid contributor moving forward.

    Gay hit a 37-yard field goal and connected on his lone extra-point attempt during Monday's 31-10 loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: It was a down fantasy showing for Gay, as head coach Sean McVay tried to fake a field goal at the end of the first half, and the Los Angeles offense was never able to find a consistent groove Monday. The Rams don't play again until Week 12 against Green Bay, and while Gay projects to finish the season strong, he might not be worth a stash on fantasy benches for Week 11.

Perhaps most encouraging was that the Los Angeles offense struggled Sunday, and Gay was still able to post a solid fantasy line. He's proving to be one of the more reliable kickers in the league.

    Analysis: With Los Angeles up to an average of 30.6 points per game, and Gay having connected on 14 of 15 field goals, it's probably safe to continue viewing the 27-year-old kicker as a rock-solid weekly option moving forward. Gay and the Rams don't have a bye until Week 11, too.

    Gay connected on two field-goal kicks and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 28-19 win over Detroit.

    Analysis: Gay has now missed just a single field goal and single extra point through seven games to start the year, and he's established himself as a go-to option at kicker in most settings. It's also worth noting that Los Angeles doesn't have its bye until Week 11.

    Gay was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gay is tending to a sore ankle, though it wasn't enough to keep him out of practice entirely. The 27-year-old is 10-for-11 on field goals and 15-for-16 on point-after attempts through five games, and the ankle issue isn't expected to affect his availability for the Rams' Week 6 matchup with the Giants.

    Gay made both of his field-goal attempts but missed one of his three extra-point tries in Week 5's 26-17 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Gay converted from 31 yards on his first kick of the game, but he then failed with his opening PAT attempt, marking his first such miss this season. Fortunately, Gay rallied to make his next two, then finished with a 47-yard field goal to ice the game.

However, he missed a 46-yarder -- his first miss of the season -- on Los Angeles' first drive of the second half. The 27-year-old should remain a reliable option for fantasy managers, as the Rams' offense should provide plenty of scoring opportunities.

    Analysis: The second-year kicker was listed as questionable for Thursday's game with a shoulder injury, so it was encouraging to see him suit up and hit all four of his kicks in the convincing win.

    Analysis: Gay is making his season debut and will be the third kicker used by the Rams on the campaign. He joined L.A. last week in the wake of Kai Forbath (ankle) landing on injured reserve, but the question remained whether the team would elevate Austin MacGinnis from the practice squad instead.

    Analysis: Gay will have to clear COVID-19 protocol before he can participate. and coach Sean McVay expects that to commence by Saturday. Starting kicker Kai Forbath injured his ankle in the Rams' Week 10 over the Seahawks. The fact that Los Angeles is already looking at two potential kickers going forward indicates that Forbath could miss some time.

    Analysis: If the second-year kicker ultimately wins the job coming out of camp, he'll certainly have earned it, as it appears Gay will have to fend off three players overall for a roster spot. Coach Bruce Arians emphasized Sunday that he's "looking for consistency on the gimmes," citing a zero-tolerance policy for any missed extra points or field-goal tries from inside the 30-yard line.

  • Remains locked in tight battle

    Gay remains in a heated competition with Elliott Fry for the placekicker job, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. "I think the competition is close -- I think it's real close," said Special Teams Coordinator Keith Armstrong. "I think with Matt, the thing I learned is he's got to learn to be consistent. That's what we're looking for and that's hard to do. That's what wins and he's got to learn to be consistent."

    Analysis: Armstrong's focus on the theme isn't coincidental, as Gay managed to prompt just enough doubt in the minds of the coaching staff during his rookie season by sometimes making what should have been easier kicks more difficult. Gay either missed or had five of his last eight field-goal attempts of the season blocked, and two of his seven misses overall on the campaign came from the very manageable distance of 34 yards. Gay was also just 43-for-48 on extra-point tries, so he's focusing on treating…read more

  • Disastrous finish to season

    Gay missed all three of his field-goal attempts (49, 44 and 34 yards) and made both of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers 28-22 overtime loss to the Falcons on Sunday. He finished the 2019 season with a 77.1 percent success rate on field goals (27-for-35) and a 43-for-48 tally on extra points.

    Analysis: Gay's final numbers were sullied by his clunker of a regular-season finale, but the rookie was otherwise very impressive during his first pro season. Gay's misfires were spread evenly across distance, as he missed two attempts from 30 to 39 yards, another three from 40 to 49 yards, and three more from 50 yards and beyond.

    Analysis: Gay was limited for the Buccaneers' first two practices of Week 16 while battling a right groin injury. Since Tampa Bay didn't work out any other kickers, there was never much concern about the rookie's status, and his ability to put in a full workout to close the week supports that notion.

    Analysis: It was another busy day for Gay, as the Buccaneers racked up their second consecutive 38-point tally. Gay did see a streak of 15 straight successful kicks come to an end with the long misfire, but he continues to profile as an elite asset heading into fantasy title games in Week 16, with the possibility of an uptick in field-goal opportunities if Tampa is missing both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin due to hamstring injuries.

A couple of typical rookie hiccups aside, Gay has converted an impressive 88.5 percent of 26 field-goal attempts on the campaign, including four of five tries from 50 yards or longer.

The rookie did up his field-goal accuracy to 87.5 percent with his 1-for-1 showing in that department Sunday, and despite the unexpected hiccups, he remains a highly appealing fantasy option in Week 13 versus the Jaguars.

    Analysis: The rookie got another opportunity to show off the booming leg that caught the team's eye coming out of college, with Gay drilling his third kick of more than 50 yards in four tries this season. The Buccaneers' offense typically provides Gay with more scoring chances than he saw Sunday, but even in a game where he sees a downturn in opportunity, he can still reward fantasy managers.
