Week 17 Outlook
Availability
Phil Dawson has announced his retirement after 20 NFL seasons.
Fantasy Impact
Dawson will sign a contract with Cleveland and retire as a member of the Browns. He spent the first 14 years of his career with Cleveland before playing for San Francisco and most recently, Arizona.
Phil Dawson converted 1-of-2 field goal tries and 1-of-1 PAT attempts in Arizona's 45-10 Week 12 loss to the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact
Dawson's field goal went for 30 yards. Fantasy players can do better than a kicker on an offense this bad. The Cardinals visit the Packers in Week 13.
Phil Dawson is questionable to play Week 12 due to his hip injury.
Fantasy Impact
Dawson missed Week 11 due to the ailment, but he's expected to return this weekend against the Chargers. Given the expected game script and the injury, Dawson isn't someone to consider in leagues that start kickers.
Phil Dawson is listed as questionable with a hip injury and is considered a game-time decision by the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Dawson and the Cardinals are rare favorites this weekend against the hapless Raiders. That would normally make the veteran Dawson someone to consider for fantasy purposes, but the injury adds risk to his situation along with the fact that he's playing for an offense that's struggled overall this season.
Phil Dawson converted both of his PAT attempts in Arizona's 26-14 Week 10 loss to the Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact
Dawson just doesn't see enough volume to be fantasy relevant these days. He has a good matchup next week versus the Raiders, but he's an incredibly risky bet.
