Tyler Bass joins list of kickers to sit in NFL Week 5

Summary

With NFL Week 5 approaching, kicker Tyler Bass of the Buffalo Bills is highlighted as someone to avoid in fantasy lineups. This is due to Buffalo's high-powered offense, which has limited Bass's field goal attempts, with only four so far this season. Analysts note that his reliance on extra points, rather than field goals, affects his fantasy potential. The discussion encompasses other notable kickers who may also face challenges in Week 5, including Jake Elliot and Will Reichard, based on their matchups and scoring opportunities. The focus for fantasy managers will be identifying potential low-scoring environments among starting kickers to make informed roster decisions.
