Adam Vinatieri is the only kicker in the NFL who has yet to miss this season
Adam Vinatieri has yet to miss a kick this season, which is a good enough reason by itself to have him lead off Athlon Sports’ Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings for Week 15. Vinatieri will turn 42 years old later this month and is on the verge of finishing up his 19th season in the NFL, yet you could make the argument he’s getting better with age. Vinatieri is second among kickers in fantasy points, tied for second in scoring and is fourth in made field goals (27). But what’s been most impressive about Vinatieri this season is that he’s the only kicker in the league who has been successful on every kick (27-for-27 FGs, 44-for-44 PATs) he’s attempted in 2014. Not bad for someone who’s played this game for two decades, no?
