Rams rookie Greg Zuerlein is the first player in NFL history with two field goals of at least 58 yards in the same game.
Discovered at small-school Missouri Western State, Zuerlein is perfect on 12 field-goal attempts this season. His big leg has earned him the nickname "Legatron" to go with "Greg the Leg" and "Young G.Z." If Zuerlein is available in leagues that award points for distance, he's worth picking up this week.
people laughed at me for picking up "Greg the Leg" after week 1. He's been my most consistent FF scorer this year (yea, not very impressive when your best player is a kicker, but still a good pickup).
btw, I'd say he's worth picking up in ANY league but especially in leagues with extra points for distance. Rams cant get into the endzone and endup kicking alot of FG's. Zuerlin is tied for the league lead in FGM and is second in FGA.
nice call! I liked Zuerlein in preseason but you never know with kickers who's gonna have a good year so I drafted one (can't remember who now) that was supposed to play for a high scoring team- oh wait it was Henery for the Eagles.
Yeah, same here - picked up "the leg" a few weeks ago and he's damn-near outscored Matty Ice the last 2-3 weeks - cannot believe how consistent and powerful this kid is, truely amazing... I even told my bro to pick him up in a league where he had Hanson from the Lions on bye week and he went, "WHO"...?? I said trust me, you'll be fine : )
Well, I got 7 points outta him tonight, which is def on his low side, although it's decent... the best part was I had the Rams +3 (gotta love the home dawg, hey-oo!) so I'll take it and wait for him to tear it up again after 10+days of rest between games! ; )
yea, he shoulda had two FG's but a dumb interception by Bradford in the redzone cost him. Plus , unlike their usual M.O. , the rams actually got into the endzone twice last night.
Yeah Bradford didn't have a great game (sans the 2 passing td's) while only going 7-21 I believe...? usually the leg is the majority of their offense so this def smells like the worst of what we should expect from the leg moving forward... especially when playing indoors... I'm liking!
