Fantasy Profile: Adam Vinatieri, K, Indianapolis Colts
Being the kicker for one of the strongest offenses in the league has a direct correlation to fantasy kicker scoring; this makes Adam Vinatieri one of the better choices at the position in the upcoming season. Even though Vinatieri is 42 years old, his leg is not yet showing that age as he was 19-for-23 on field goals of 40 or more yards last season, on his way to a career high total of 35 field goals. Indianapolis employs punter Pat McAfee as their kickoff specialist, so Vinatieri is able to save his efforts for field goal and extra point attempts. Look for Indianapolis to score a lot of points in 2015, with Vinatieri benefiting from the offensive strength.
