News

  • Hits four kicks in loss

    Gay connected on two field-goal attempts and two extra-point kicks during Sunday's 36-28 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Gay hasn't missed a field goal since Week 4 and is now 20-for-21 for the campaign. While the Rams have stuttered of late with three consecutive losses, it hasn't been a considerable hindrance to Gay's fantasy outlook. He remains a sound option in most settings moving forward.

  • Quiet against 49ers

    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.

  • Still produces in loss

    Gay connected on three field-goal kicks and an extra-point attempt during Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: It was another solid showing for Gay, and he's now hit all nine of his field-goal attempts over the past five weeks. 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.

  • Hits six more kicks in win

    Gay connected on a 27-yard field goal and hit all five of his extra-point kicks during Sunday's 38-22 win over Houston.

    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.

  • Hits all four kicks in win

    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.

  • Adds another strong showing

    Gay connected on his lone field-goal kick and converted all five of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 38-11 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: It was another solid fantasy performance for Gay. He's hit 10 of 11 field-goal attempts and 20 of 21 extra-point kicks and should probably be considered a set-and-forget option at kicker in most leagues.

  • Gets back to full practice

    Gay (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gay was a limited participant in the Rams' first practice session of the week due to an ankle issue. However, he is now in line to continue in his regular duties as the team's kicker for a Week 6 matchup against the Giants. Through five games this season, Gay has made 10 of his 11 field-goal attempts and and 15 of his 16 extra-point tries.

  • Limited at Wednesday's practice

    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.

  • Misses extra point

    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. Despite his uncharacteristic misfire, Gay now sports 45 points through five games, ranking third league-wide among kickers in the category this season.

  • Misses first field goal of season

    Gay went 2-for-3 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Gay connected on both his field goals in the first half, including a 42-yarder to open the scoring on the Rams' opening drive. 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.

  • Double figures versus Bucs

    Gay made both his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Gay converted from 34 and 38 yards on his respective field goals, with the latter coming with just over two minutes remaining and ultimately being the difference Sunday. Through two games, Gay now sports an impressive 19 points on 11 makes and no misses overall.

    Analysis: Gay converted from 53 and 22 yards on his respective field goals, starting the season with a perfect kicking record. Given the Rams' explosive offense, Gay is seemingly in a great situation to rack up the points as long as he remains consistent. In Week 2, he'll face the Colts on the road.

  • Strong run with Rams

    Gay connected on 14 of 16 field-goal attempts and all 16 extra-point kicks through seven regular-season games with the Rams during the 2020 regular season.

    Analysis: The second-year kicker was perfect over his final six games connecting on 13 field goals and 10 extra points, including the two postseason contests. Gay was a solid fantasy option to finish the season, and he projects to remain a reliable kicker in most settings to start the 2021 campaign.

  • Heater continues against Seattle

    Gay connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point kicks during Saturday's 30-20 wild-card win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Gay has been automatic over the past five games. He's hit 12 field goals and nine extra points without missing an attempt and projects to remain a solid fantasy option for Saturday's divisional-round game against Green Bay.

  • Perfect in win over Cards

    Gay hit all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick during Sunday's 18-7 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: Gay's now connected on all nine of his field-goal attempts and each of his six extra-point kicks over the past four games. He projects to remain a serviceable option against Seattle in the wild-card round. It's also worth noting that he's probably positioned himself to kick for the Rams again in 2021, which has proven to be a favorable fantasy setup under head coach Sean McVay.

  • Hits all three kicks in loss

    Gay connected on all three of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 20-9 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: The sophomore kicker has now hit all six of his field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point kicks over the past three weeks. Before setting Gay into fantasy lineups in Week 17, it will be important to check on Los Angeles' quarterback situation, as Jared Goff (thumb) underwent surgery Monday.

    Gay connected on 45- and 42-yard field-goal attempts and both his extra-point kicks during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: The second-year kicker has been reliable for Los Angeles and fantasy managers through five games, and he's also set up for another solid performance in Week 16 against the Seahawks. Gay is worth considering in most settings.

  • Proves health in win

    Gay connected on a 35-yard field goal and hit all three of his extra-point kicks during Thursday's 24-3 win over New England.

    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. Gay's fantasy numbers probably could have been better if head coach Sean McVay opted to be more aggressive offensively instead of milking the clock. Expect Gay to remain a serviceable asset in most fantasy settings, and especially with upcoming matchups against the Jets and Seahawks.

  • Suiting up Thursday

    Gay (shoulder) is listed as active Thursday against the Patriots, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gay made a sudden appearance on Wednesday's injury report as a limited participant and questionable for this Week 14 contest. The Rams even called up an insurance policy in Austin MacGinnis earlier Thursday. After making a number of kicks during pregame warmups, though, Gay has been cleared to suit up. During his three-game stint in L.A., he's nailed five of seven field-goal attempts and all 10 point-after tries.

  • Uncertain for Thursday

    Gay (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Patriots, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gay avoided the injury report Monday and Tuesday before he was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice. The downgrade was enough to place a cloud over his availability for Week 14. If the Rams end up elevating Austin MacGinnis from the practice squad Thursday, it could signal that Gay won't be available for the contest.

  • Another solid fantasy day

    Gay connected on one of his two field-goal attempts and hit all five extra-point kicks during Sunday's 38-28 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: Fantasy managers would have liked to have seen Gay hit his 37-yard field-goal attempt in the fourth quarter, but five extra points padded his stat line. While the sophomore has already missed two field goals through three games, his fantasy numbers have been serviceable. Gay projects to remain a middling option in most settings.

  • Perfect in loss

    Gay went 2-for-2 in field-goal attempts and connected on both his extra-point kicks during Sunday's 23-20 loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: Gay's two field goals were from 48 and 41 yards, and he's now made four of his five attempts since joining the Rams last week. Look for the second-year kicker to continue providing serviceable fantasy numbers moving forward, and next week's matchup against Arizona should prove to be a high-scoring bout and an especially favorable spot.

  • Tops former team

    Gay connected on two of his three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point kicks during Monday's 27-24 win over Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: This was Gay's debut with Los Angeles after spending his rookie season with Tampa Bay in 2019, and while he did miss a 44-yard field goal in the third quarter, he rebounded with the game-winning kick from 40 yards with 2:40 remaining. Fantasy managers will want to ensure Gay retains his role for a Week 12 matchup against San Francisco before locking him into lineups. The sophomore does offer some upside.

  • Handling kicking duties Monday

    Gay will serve as the Rams' kicker Monday at Tampa Bay, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

    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. It has opted not to, leaving Gay to handle kicking duties in Week 12. Last season, Gay hit 27 of 35 field-goal attempts and 43 of 48 point-after tries as a member of the Bucs.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old signed with Los Angeles earlier in the week, but he's now officially on the active roster. Gay is poised to handle kicking duties for the Rams, though Austin MacGinnis could still be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Monday's game at Tampa Bay.

    The Rams signed Gay on Tuesday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: After cutting bait with long-time kicker Greg Zuerlein in the offseason, the Rams have cycled through a number of kickers, including Samuel Sloman and Kai Forbath. Forbath was the casualty of an ankle injury this past Sunday versus the Seahawks and was placed on IR, with the corresponding move the signing of Gay. As a member of the Buccaneers last season, Gay made 27 of 35 field-goal attempts and 43 of 48 point-after tries across 16 games.

  • Will compete for Rams' job

    Gay is expected to be brought to Los Angeles to compete with Austin MacGinnis for the Rams' kicking job, J.B. Long of the Los Angeles Rams Radio Network reports.

    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. As a result, Gay will look to make an impression once he joins the team.

    The Colts cut Gay from the practice squad Friday.

    Analysis: Gay was jettisoned in order to allow Indianapolis to re-sign Darius Jackson. Though he hasn't yet appeared in a game this season, Gay did convert 27 of 35 field-goal attempts across 16 contests with the Buccaneers in 2019.

    Gay signed with the Colts' practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Gay spent the 2019 season with the Buccaneers and hit 77 percent of his field goals, but he lost the job to Ryan Succop to begin the season. This looks to be the start of a kicker competition in Indianapolis, as rookie Rodrigo Blankenship missed a 30-yard field goal in Week 1.

  • Has tryout with Colts

    Gay had a tryout with the Colts on Monday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Gay was waived by the Buccaneers after he lost out on a kicking competition to Ryan Succop at the close of training camp. With plenty of turnover in kicking games around the league, he should be able to land a new job at some point this season.

    The Buccaneers will waive Gay, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: It looked like Gay would have the opportunity to kick behind the Bucs' re-tooled offense, but instead the team will turn to the recently signed Ryan Succop. Gay will now look to catch on elsewhere, with NFL teams in the midst of cutdowns in the coming days.

  • New competition on way

    Gay, who made 35- and 46-yard field goals during the Buccaneers' scrimmage at Raymond James Stadium on Friday, is nevertheless expected to get new competition this week in the form of veterans Ryan Succop and Cody Parkey, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    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. Gay notably struggled on several occasions during his rookie campaign with kicks in that range, and Scott Smith of the…read more

  • 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

  • Perfect in practice Tuesday

    Gay, who is battling Elliott Fry for the placekicking job, was perfect on all of his attempts in Tuesday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The Buccaneers opted to bring in some competition for their second-year kicker after his rough finish to the 2019 campaign, one which saw five of his last eight field-goal attempts either miss their mark or get blocked. Gay had put together an impressive rookie campaign prior to that late-season downturn, however, so he should still have a leg up on Fry, who's yet to kick in an NFL regular-season game. Nevertheless, he may be in for a spirited job battle, considering the latter was also…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. The 2019 fifth-round pick will look to sharpen his technique over the offseason, but barring a complete training camp/preseason meltdown next summer, he should be the…read more

    Analysis: Gay was banged up on a field-goal attempt that was blocked in the team's Week 16 loss to the Texans. However, he remained in the game and later made a 50-yard field goal, giving some indication that the injury was minor. That he was projected to be a limited participant Wednesday is a positive sign for his availability in the team's Week 17 matchup against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Gay was banged up on the first-quarter block, but his ability to drill a 50-yarder later in the period corroborated his health. The rookie heads into the regular-season finale against the Falcons with a solid 84.4 percent success rate on 32 field-goal attempts and 122 points overall, making him one of the best fantasy assets at the position on the season.

  • Gets back in game

    Gay (undisclosed) has returned to action in Saturday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: After getting banged up on a blocked kick return, Gay came back in and converted a 50-yard field-goal attempt. He appears no worse for wear and should be good to go for the remainder of Saturday's tilt.

  • Hurt after blocked field goal

    Gay was injured during a blocked field goal return Saturday against the Texans, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

  • Cleared for Week 16

    Gay (groin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and won't carry a designation into Saturday's game against the Texans, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    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.

  • Continues limited work

    Gay (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: The Buccaneers have yet to work out or sign another kicker, so they appear confident Gay will be ready in time for Saturday's matchup against the Texans. Gay has been quite effective this year, connecting on 25 of 29 field goals (86 percent), including 14 of 17 tries from beyond 40 yards.

  • Dealing with groin issue

    Gay was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice due to a right groin injury, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gay racked up eight points on a field goal and five extra points in the Buccaneers' 38-17 win over the Lions over the weekend, but a misfire from 54 yards out ended a streak of 15 converted kicks in a row. The rookie appears to have ironed out his early-season accuracy issues, but he now has a health-related complication to contend with heading into Saturday's game against the Texans. The Buccaneers haven't yet worked out any other kickers, signaling that the team isn't yet concerned about his…read more

  • Six successful kicks in win

    Gay drilled a 46-yard field goal and clanked a 54-yard attempt off the left upright while also making all five of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 38-17 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    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.

  • Extends kicking streak in win

    Gay drilled his only field-goal attempt from 44 yards and made all five of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie has now drilled all 10 kick attempts (three field goals, seven extra points) over his last two games. Gay continues to serve as an elite fantasy asset due to his connection to the Buccaneers' prolific offense, and he'll be set up for potential success once again in a Week 15 matchup versus the vulnerable Lions defense.

  • Perfect on four kicks

    Gay drilled field-goal attempts of 25 and 37 yards and made both extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 28-11 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gay bounced back from having missed three extra-point attempts versus the Falcons in a Week 12 win, putting together his third perfect performance over the last four games. 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 will look to keep his strong numbers up against the Colts in Week 14.

  • Scuffles on extra points in win

    Gay drilled his only field-goal attempt from 32 yards but made only two of five extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gay unexpectedly found extra-point tries to be a significant challenge Sunday, missing more attempts (three) than he had all season (two). 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.

  • Impresses with few opportunities

    Gay drilled his only field-goal attempt from 55 yards and also was good on both of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    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. Gay will hope to square up on multiple field-goal attempts in a Week 12 matchup against the Falcons.

  • Perfect, with an asterisk

    Gay drilled field-goal attempts of 30, 45 and 41 yards and all three of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 30-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gay would have been 2-for-3 if not for the Cardinals being called offsides on his 46-yard misfire wide left early in the fourth quarter. Gay attempted the kick again five yards closer and drilled it to snap 20-20 tie at the time. The rookie now has 12 successful kicks in 13 tries over the last two games, as the Buccaneers' aggressive offense continues to afford him no shortage of scoring opportunities. Factoring in Sunday's production, Gay has an 86.4 percent success rate on field goals and has…read more

  • Hits six of seven kicks in loss

    Gay made field-goal attempts of 41 and 45 yards, missed a 50-yard try wide left and drilled all four extra-point attempts in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie's one miss came at the end of the first half and served as his first from 50 yards and greater this season. Gay has been an excellent source of fantasy production overall, as the combination of Bruce Arians' aggressive offensive scheme and Jameis Winston's tendency to stall drives on occasion have led to an abundance of kicking opportunities. Factoring in Sunday's miss, Gay still sports a solid 84.2 percent success rate on field goals and has also been true on 20 of 22 point-after…read more
