MATT GAY NEWS

Misses 61-yard field goal in win Gay connected on one of two field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point attempts in Thursday's 17-16 win against the Raiders.

Impact It's hard to find fault in Gay's miss of a lengthy 61-yard field-goal attempt, which went wide left, due to an unnecessary roughness penalty called on Coleman Shelton that pushed what would've been a much more manageable 46-yard field goal back. Gay booted in a long field goal from 55 yards in the first quarter and remained perfect on both of his extra points to help secure the Rams' first win in over a month.

Ties season high with three FGs Gay connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Fantasy managers that were brave enough to start the slumping Gay were rewarded, as Gay connected on a long 54-yard attempt, along with makes from 40 and 32 yards, and continued his season-long perfect streak on extra-point tries. The accurate kicker takes on a Raiders defense that ranks near the bottom of the league in Week 14, which may give Gay more kicking opportunities for a second straight week.

Just one field goal in loss Gay connected on a 47-yard field goal and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact With Matthew Stafford (neck) and Allen Robinson (foot) joining Cooper Kupp (ankle) on the sidelines, the rest of the Rams' anemic offense did little in helping Gay get into a position to produce. Despite booting a lengthy 47-yard field goal in the first quarter, Gay wouldn't be called into action again until punching in an extra point in the fourth quarter. In Gay's five games since the bye, the accurate kicker has only punched in six field goals and eight extra points. With the entire Rams' offense in disarray between injuries and subpar play, it'll be difficult for fantasy managers to trust Gay as their kicker for the remainder of the season.

Perfect against Saints Gay connected on both field-goal attempts and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-20 loss against the Saints.

Impact Gay's production got a major boost in the form of a pair of field goals in the fourth quarter. The strong-legged kicker booted a 58-yard field goal with just 11 seconds left in the game, and he added a 33-yard chip shot at the start of the quarter. This was Gay's best performance for fantasy purposes since Week 4, and the veteran has a nearly flawless 14-for-15 record on field-goal attempts on the season.

Quiet against Cardinals Gay connected on a 37-yard field goal and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-17 loss against the Cardinals.

Impact It was more of the same for the reliable Gay, as he had another perfect day of kicks, but once again had very little in the way of volume to help make him a viable fantasy option. The Rams looked dreadful on offense with Matthew Stafford (concussion) out, and the impending potential absence of Cooper Kupp (ankle) will only add to the difficulty of Gay finding scoring opportunities until the Rams get back on track.

Makes two field goals Gay connected on both field-goal attempts and converted his only extra point attempt in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Gay was able boot his first field goals since Week 6 in the third quarter, hitting attempts from 26-yards and 35-yards out respectively. Gay's fantasy ceiling is capped by the anemic state of the Rams offense, however, and the Rams have only cleared 14 points once since a Week 3 victory against the Cardinals. The Rams next opponent just happens to be Arizona, who has given up over 30 points to opponents in three straight contests, giving Gay a slightly more optimistic outlook for their Week 10 matchup.

No field-goal attempts in loss Gay did not attempt a field goal Sunday while going 2-for-2 on extra-point tries in the Rams' 31-14 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Gay failed to produce at least one field goal for the first time this season, but he remained perfect on extra-point attempts, raising his season total to 13-for-13 over seven contests. The kicker remains one of the more accurate options in the league, going 9-for-10 on field goals in addition to his success on extra points. Gay could be more involved in Week 8 against the Buccaneers as both teams will look to rebound off disappointing losses.

Perfect performance in win Gay made a 21-yard field goal and went 3-for-3 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-10 win against the Panthers.

Impact Gay's second quarter chip shot was his sixth field-goal attempt of under 30 yards on the season. The veteran kicker has made just nine field goals and 11 extra points thus far, disappointing numbers for one of the more reliable fantasy kicking options from the 2021 campaign. The Rams offense did seem to find a rhythm against the Panthers that had been lacking in weeks past, however, and with the team going on bye in Week 7, Gay may find himself with more positive game scripts to produce when the team returns in Week 8 for a home game against San Francisco.

Misses 51-yard field goal in loss Gay connected on one of two field goal attempts and converted his only extra point attempt in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact The Rams offense had another weak performance on Sunday, limiting Gay's opportunities to produce. A 51-yard field goal attempt in the fourth quarter went wide right, and while Gay did connect on a 29-yard field goal in the first quarter, it marked the fourth game out of five this season where the dependable kicker has had two or less field goal attempts. The Rams face a struggling Panthers team in Week 6 before going on bye, which may help boost Gay's otherwise pedestrian numbers.

Nails three field goals Gay connected on all three field-goal attempts during Monday's 24-9 loss to the 49ers.

Impact It was another perfect performance for Gay, who opened the game with a 39-yard field goal before adding two short field goals in the second and third quarter, respectively. The Rams have struggled offensively to start the year, which is reflected in Gay's limited usage. Week 5 brings the Cowboys to town featuring a defense hasn't given up more than 17 points in a game this season, so scoring opportunities may be at a premium again for the big-legged kicker.

Another perfect performance Gay connected on two field-goal kicks and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 20-12 victory against the Cardinals.

Impact Gay kicked off the scoring for the Rams, punching in a 22-yard field goal in the first quarter, and added a 40-yard field goal in the second quarter. Gay is a perfect 4-for-4 on field goals and 7-for-7 on extra point attempts on the season thus far, par for the course from one of the more accurate kickers in the NFL.

Perfect against Falcons Gay connected on his only field-goal attempt and made all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-27 win over the Falcons.

Impact Gay was busy early, as the Rams scored a touchdown on four of their first five drives. After that, he saw the field just once more, booting a chip shot 20-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. The Rams offense, which struggled heavily in the season opener against the Bills, rebounded well against the Falcons, and Gay will look to continue to contribute in a Week 3 matchup against the Cardinals.
