Feely

I believe that 100 percent would be a great starting goal. Kickers, kickers, kickers.

Feely didn’t have his best season in ’04, but has plenty of experience kicking in a dome.

Feely says he’s spoken to a few teams, but he’d be smart to keep kicking beneath Arizona’s retractable roof. Feely went 19-for-24 on field goals last year.

Feely will be 36 years old during the upcoming season, but he’s still plenty accurate on field goals and set a career high with 22 touchbacks last season. The NFL’s new kickoff rules certainly helped that total, but it wasn’t like the Cards were scoring many touchdowns. Through two seasons in Arizona, Feely is 43-of-51 on field goals, good for an 84.3-percent success rate.

It’s not often we see a fine leveled against a kicker. Feely received an unnecessary roughness call when he hit an opponent late on a second half kickoff that was kicked out of the endzone for a touchback.

You should be able to do better at kicker for the fantasy playoffs.

Feely missed a 50-yard attempt and performed poorly on kickoffs against the Rams, but no change is coming. “Not at the moment,” Arians said. “We’ve looked at the one we thought was the best available, and we’ll continue with where we are at.” Fantasy owners should be reaching higher.

Carpenter was released by the Dolphins last week in favor of the younger, cheaper Caleb Sturgis. Now he’ll try to beat out veteran Jay Feely. Feely has been strong over the last three years, going 68-of-79 (86.0 percent) on field goals. That includes a 5-of-7 mark from 50+ yards out. Feely did miss a 30-yard attempt in the last preseason game, which coach Bruce Arians deemed “unacceptable.”

''We don’t want to spend that time on the sideline worrying about what his status is,’' coach Tom Coughlin said. ''We’re better off keeping his nose out of there unless he absolutely has to make the play.’'

Coach Tom Coughlin said Feely should be ready to kick Sunday.
