Past Fantasy Outlooks
2016
2015
Hocker jumped around a bit in 2015, kicking for both the Rams and the Saints for short stretches during the year. He was 10-14 on field goals and 12-13 on extra points, not encouraging numbers for an NFL kicker, especially considering he was just 2-5 on kicks of 40 or more yards. He’s likely with the Bengals in training camp just to push incumbent kicker Mike Nugent, and will only see action in 2016 if an injury forces a team to sign him for some spot starts.
Hocker and Dustin Hopkins will compete in training camp. Neither has NFL experience, but one will have a big opportunity this season with the Saints, who released last year's kicker, Shayne Graham (23rd in scoring). The Saints have had one of the better offenses in the NFL the last few years, but that cost Graham some field goals last season as he ranked sixth in PATs and 28th in field-goal attempts. The Saints made some major changes in the offseason, trading tight end Jimmy Graham and wide receiver Kenny Stills. Quarterback Drew Brees is still under center, but if they aren't as good in the red zone (60 percent TD efficiency last year), the Saints could offer their kicker more field-goal opportunities.
