2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gay cashed in big after his impressive showings for the Rams in 2021 (94.1 FG percentage) and 2022 (93.3 percent), signing a four-year contract with the Colts last spring that made him the second-highest-paid kicker in terms of average annual value. He ended up tying for second among kickers in fantasy points thanks to his 41 field-goal attempts (second most), but he also had the second most FG misses (eight). To be fair, five of those misses came from 50-plus yards, and Gay also had eight makes in that range, making him more of a slight disappointment than a disaster. The contract should give him job security for 2024, and there's a chance for the Colts offense to take a big step forward with second-year QB Anthony Richardson at the helm. Read Past Outlooks
Makes only field-goal try Sunday
Gay converted his only field-goal attempt while going 2-for-2 on PATs in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Gay made a chip-shot 25-yard field goal in the third quarter, giving Indianapolis a 17-16 advantage at that point. It was the first contest since Week 3 that Gay did not make multiple field goals, ending a nine-game streak for the kicker. Gay has now gone 22-for-25 on field-goal tries while making all 22 of his extra-point attempts in 2024.

The Colts made Gay one of the highest-paid kickers in league history this offseason, apparently impressed by his 92.5 percent conversion rate on field goals the last three years with the Rams. Gay also made 97.9 percent of his PATs for Los Angeles, and he went 12-for-15 from 50-plus yards. The issue is the team, not the player, as the Colts' offense was miserable last season and might need time to improve under incoming first-round pick Anthony Richardson, who had only one full season as the starting QB at Florida.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Historic performance in OT win
Gay became the first kicker in NFL history to make at least four field goals of 50-plus yards in one game in Sunday's 22-19 overtime win over the Ravens, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
All four makes from long distance came after halftime. Gay made a 53-yard, game-tying field goal in the fourth quarter, then won the game with a 53-yard field goal in overtime. When the Colts gave Gay the largest free agent contract for a kicker in NFL history -- $22.5 million over four years -- this past offseason, it was with performances like this one in mind.
