Kai Forbath

Austin MacGinnis is next in line for kicker duties in Los Angeles. The Rams are also bringing in veteran leg Matt Gay but he won't be able to work out for the team until Saturday because of COVID-19 protocols. MacGinnis has never kicked in the NFL.

For now, seventh-round rookie Sam Sloman remains on the 53-man roster. The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue believes it may be a "motivational move." Sloman has converted 7-of-9 field goals but shanked 3-of-18 extra points. There could be a mini competition in this week's practices before coach Sean McVay decides on a starter for Week 7 against the Bears. Perhaps not coincidentally, it had been Chicago where Forbath was on the practice squad. 

It's officially Greg Zuerlein's job. Forbath made all 10 of his field goal tries in three games for Dallas last season after replacing Brett Maher. Dallas kickers tried a league-high 41 field goals last year. Kicking for a highly productive Cowboys offense that should see plenty of positive game script in 2020, the big-legged Zuerlein is a prime target for fantasy managers who still play in leagues smart enough to include the kicker spot. 

Forbath helped stabilize the Cowboys' kicking position last year after Brett Maher flamed out. The 33-year-old veteran converted 10-of-10 field goal attempts. Forbath will likely face competition in the form of an undrafted free agent, but he will be the heavy favorite to kick Week 1.
