Dicker converted on his lone field-goal attempt and his two extra-point attempts in the 20-17 loss to the Cowboys on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The Chargers are one of the most aggressive teams in terms of going for fourth-downs, and the team's inefficiencies on offense coupled with the aggressive attitude has capped Dicker's fantasy value despite his consistency. Los Angeles should be poised for another positive offensive day in a Week 7 matchup against the Chiefs.

Dicker connected on his lone field-goal attempt and also made all three of his extra-point attempts in the 24-17 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a pretty typical game for Dicker, who continues to be near automatic when it comes to field goals within 50 yards. The second-year starter has yet to miss a kick under 50 yards in his NFL career and is situated in an offense that is well-regarded as one of the best in the league.

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.
EDGE 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 next week.

Dicker connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in a 27-24 overtime loss to the Titans on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Dicker's long in Sunday's contest was just 33 yards, as the second-year kicker benefitted from an offense that struggled to punch it in the end zone. Expect Dicker to be a sneaky streaming kicker option in what figures to be an offensive matchup between the Chargers and Vikings in Week 3.

Dicker converted both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 36-34 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Dicker connected on a career-long 50-yard field goal near the end of the first half and extended a regular-season streak of made kicks that dates back to Week 13 of last season. While the undrafted second-year player might not have the strongest leg, he's been a reliable leg inside 50 yards since taking over as the starting kicker for the Chargers last season.

The Chargers have traded Dustin Hopkins to the Browns, leaving Dicker as the team's lone kicking option, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The two had been competing for the team's Week 1 kicking assignment, but with Hopkins on the move, Dicker is slated to handle the job ahead of the coming season. In that context, the 23-year-old profiles as a viable fantasy option, while working behind the Chargers' Justin Herbert-helmed offense.

Dicker is expected to compete against Dustin Hopkins for the kicking role with the Chargers, Eric Smith of the team's official website reports.
EDGE 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. Hopkins, on the other hand, is 10-of-15 on his attempts.

Dicker has taken all of the practice field-goal attempts over the last couple of special teams periods, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dicker entered training camp in an apparent battle for the starting job with veteran incumbent Dustin Hopkins, but the latter has not attempted a field goal since the beginning of the week and the Chargers have not mentioned Hopkins dealing with any sort of injury. Dicker made 19 of his 20 field-goal attempts last season in relief of the injured Hopkins, with the lone miss coming in the team's dreadful Wildcard loss to the Jaguars.

Dicker is expected to compete with Dustin Hopkins for the team's top kicking job, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hopkins seemed to solve the team's kicking woes over the past two seasons, converting 27 of 30 field-goal attempts since joining the team in Week 7 of the 2021 campaign. A hamstring injury in Week 5 of the previous year abruptly ended the veteran's 2022 campaign, but Dicker filled in admirably, making all 19 of his field-goal attempts before missing a critical one in the team's embarrassing playoff loss. Dicker is the younger and cheaper option (Hopkins signed a three-year, $9 million extension in 2022), but it's unclear if the Chargers feel comfortable moving forward with the undrafted rookie given his less-than-ideal leg strength (he missed his only attempt of 50-plus yards last season). Expect the two to be locked into a heated battle through the final days of training camp.

Dicker will remain in Los Angeles after the Chargers picked up his exclusive rights free-agent tender Tuesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE 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 kicker certainly did enough to give the Chargers enough confidence to hand over the starting job to him for the 2023 campaign. Assuming the Chargers' offense can take a step forward next season, Dicker has a chance to be a solid fantasy option in his sophomore season.
