'Green' Akers not so money in '07: Eagles PK David Akers booted 24-of-32 field goals in 2007 with all 36 of his extra points made. Akers did not connect on three of four attempts from 50 or more yards out, and was a gross 1-of-6 from 40-to-49 yards out. He had never missed more than four kicks from that range in his career.

Fantasy Analysis
Despite the iffy year, Akers will still continue to kick for the Eagles. Figure him to be a top-end No. 2 Fantasy kicker because of Philadelphia's good but not explosive offense and because of what might be deteriorating skills. He's worth drafting very late or picking up off the waiver wire during the season. Don't fall for him being a big-name, big-game Fantasy PK you can draft and lock in for 17 weeks.
