Ryan Succop - Page 6 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Back to perfection in finale Succop converted three field-goal attempts (29, 38 and 25 yards) and all five extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 44-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact Eight days after missing a season-high three kicks against the Lions, Succop managed to close out the regular season in pristine form. The 3-for-3 tally on field goals allowed Succop to finish with a 90.3 percent success rate in that category, the second-best showing of his career. The veteran did produce a more pedestrian 91.2 percent mark (by PAT standards) on extra points, but two of his five misses for the season in that area came in that Week 16 rout of Detroit. Overall, Succop is certainly one of the most reliable kicking options in this year's postseason, and his connection to a Buccaneers offense that seemed to really hit its stride late in the campaign helped lead to the 34-year-old's leg getting its most extensive workout (88 total kick attempts) of any of his 12 seasons.

Misses three kicks in victory Succop missed his only field-goal attempt -- from 42 yards out -- and also went 5-for-7 on extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 47-7 win over the Lions on Saturday.

Impact It was hard to find fault with anything anyone associated with the Buccaneers offense did in the 40-point win, but unfortunately for Succop, his performance left itself open to criticism. The veteran kicker's 42-yard miss midway through the fourth quarter obviously had no real bearing on the final outcome, but it did snap a 10-game streak of perfection for Succop on three-point tries and was his second misfire of the season from a distance of between 40 and 49 yards. His extra-point flubs were even more concerning, as they sunk his success rate on point-after attempts to 90.4 percent (47-for-52). Succop has certainly still been impressive overall with a career-high 122 points on the season, but the occasional hiccups are a concern to an extent, with the postseason right around the corner.

Perfect on five kicks in win Succop made a 27-yard field goal attempt and all four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 31-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact The veteran had been on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier in the week, but he was out there as expected Sunday and delivering his usual stellar performance. Succop has now been perfect on field goals in 10 straight games, pushing his success rate on three-point tries to 92.6 percent on the campaign, a career-best figure. Succop has missed three extra points on the season, but overall, his attachment to Tampa Bay's aggressive offense has made him an extremely valuable fantasy commodity.

Comeback, Part II: Brady breaks Falcons' hearts again, 31-27

Tom Brady staged another big comeback against the Atlanta Falcons and didn’t even need overtime this team

DECEMBER 20, 2020 • Associated Press

Comes off COVID-19 list The Buccaneers activated Succop (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

Impact Succop only spent a few days on the list after having been deemed a close contact of an infected person or persons. Now that he's been added back to the 53-man roster, Succop can safely be considered on track to kick for the Buccaneers in Sunday's game versus the Falcons.

DECEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to COVID-19 list The Buccaneers placed Succop (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.

Impact Succop either tested positive for the virus or came into close contact with an infected person. If it's the latter, Succop has a chance to play in Sunday's game against the Falcons. Otherwise, the team likely will call up Greg Joseph from the practice squad to kick in Week 15.

Busy in Week 14 win Succop made field-goal attempts of 18 and 48 yards, and drilled two of three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 26-14 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact Succop improved to 24-for-26 in field-goal attempts on the season with Sunday's perfect showing in that category, extending his streak without a miss to nine games in the process. However, he misfired on an extra point for the second time in the last four contests after Rob Gronkowski's two-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter. Nevertheless, with another productive showing, Succop continued to reward fantasy managers holding him on their rosters as the postseason began in many leagues, and he'll have a solid chance to repeat the feat against the Falcons in Week 15.

Another unblemished performance Succop made his sole field-goal attempt (26 yards) while also converting all three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Impact The veteran kicker found field-goal opportunities to be at a premium with the Buccaneers having to push for touchdowns once down 17-0 after one quarter, but he was still able to turn in his second straight perfect performance and seventh in the last eight games overall. Succop has now equaled his career-best 91.7 percent success rate on field goals, as he's missed on just two such kicks all season.

Perfect on four kicks Succop converted a 38-yard field-goal attempt and all three extra-point tries during the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Rams on Monday night.

Impact It was a relatively quiet night for the veteran kicker, as the Rams defense short-circuited two Buccaneers drives with interceptions and also turned Tampa Bay over on downs once. Succop did maximize each opportunity he was given, putting together his sixth unblemished kicking line of the season. The 12-year veteran's field-goal conversion rate is now up to an impressive 91.3 percent, which currently qualifies as the second-highest figure he's ever generated. He'll look to play a bigger role in a Week 12 showdown against the Chiefs that could feature plenty of offensive fireworks.

Racks up 16 points in win Succop made field goals of 23, 24, 21 and 40 yards and converted four of five extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 46-23 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact The veteran placekicker was extremely busy courtesy of the Buccaneers' prolific offensive effort, and the fact all of his field-goal attempts came from very manageable distances certainly helped his cause. Succop did have a third-quarter extra-point try blocked, his second miss of a point-after attempt this season. Looking ahead to Week 11, Succop could be in for another productive effort in a Monday night matchup versus a Rams defense that could well cause Tampa Bay's offense to bog down short of the goal line on multiple occasions.

Minimal opportunity in loss Succop drilled a 48-yard field goal -- his only placekicking opportunity of the game -- in the Buccaneers' 38-3 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.

Impact The veteran kicker gave his leg an unwelcome rest in the unexpectedly lopsided loss, providing the only points of the night for the Buccaneers with his fifth field goal of between 40 and 49 yards on the campaign. Succop's three points were a season-low figure for him, but on the brighter side, he's now working on a five-game streak without a missed kick of any kind. He'll look to keep that momentum in what could be a high-scoring Week 10 divisional clash with the Panthers in Carolina.

Fruitful fantasy effort in win Succop drilled field goals of 37, 40, 43 and 38 yards and converted his only extra-point try in the Buccaneers' 25-23 win over the Giants on Monday night.

Impact The veteran kicker was flawless for the fourth straight game, and his four field goals tied a season high. All of Succop's field goals had importance to varying degree in what turned out to be an unexpectedly narrow win for the Buccaneers, but his 38-yarder with 3:41 remaining was particularly critical in that it proved the difference in the game. Succop heads into what could be another busy night against the Saints in Week 9 with his best field-goal accuracy rate (88.2 percent) since 2016 and a perfect 10-for-10 tally on attempts up to 39 yards.

NOVEMBER 3, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Another extra-point-heavy effort Succop drilled a 29-yard field-goal attempt and converted all six extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Impact The nine-point effort for Succop was certainly solid and represented a maximizing of his opportunities, but for the second consecutive contest, the Buccaneers' extreme offensive efficiency under Tom Brady's stewardship capped the veteran kicker's overall fantasy upside. Succop has seen just two field-goal attempts and a whopping 11 extra-point tries over that span, a stark contrast to a Week 5 loss to the Bears when he was able to successfully hit all four of his three-point chances. Nevertheless, at least Tampa Bay is consistently putting Succop in position to compile points, and he's largely made good by posting an 84.6 percent success rate on field goals and a 96.2 percent figure on point-after attempts.

OCTOBER 26, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies eight points in win Succop made his sole field-goal attempt from 50 yards out and drilled all five of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 38-10 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Impact The veteran kicker made it interesting on his one field-goal try, benefitting from the ball hooking inward several inches while in flight to successfully cap off a six-play, 43-yard drive that was the first of the second half. The 50-yarder served as Succop's longest successful kick of the season and marked his first field goal of at least that distance since the 2018 campaign. Succop continues to carry plenty of fantasy value due to the offense he's attached to, and his 83.3 percent success rate on field goals and 95.0 percent accuracy on extra points has led to a solid tally of 49 points through six games.
