Drills clutch field goal
Succop was successful on his lone field-goal attempt of 46 yards and also converted all four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 31-26 win over the Packers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.
Analysis: High-stakes games and conditions such as the one Succop's one field-goal attempt transpired under Sunday were exactly why the Buccaneers opted to move on from 2019 fifth-round pick Matt Gay after just one season in favor of a more experienced leg. The veteran coolly drilled a 46-yard try with 4:42 remaining after the Packers had closed to within five points, a critical kick that gave Tampa Bay valuable breathing room. Succop will carry a postseason streak of eight straight field goals into a…read more

Perfect performance in victory
Succop converted field-goal attempts of 28, 37 and 36 yards while also drilling all three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 30-20 divisional-round win over the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: Succop turned it up a notch Sunday after an already impressive 5-for-6 effort in the wild-card win over Washington eight days prior, cooly converting all six of his kicks for his second unblemished kicking performance in the last three contests. Succop has yet to be truly tested from distance in the first two playoff games -- his longest attempt thus far this postseason is from 38 yards -- and he's due to see the intensity and difficulty ramp up in Sunday's NFC Championship Game at frigid…read more

Makes five of six kicks in win
Succop converted field-goal attempts of 29, 23, 38 and 37 yards and made one of two extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 31-23 wild-card win over Washington on Saturday night.
Analysis: None of the field-goal attempts were much of a challenge for the ultra-accurate veteran, who's now made seven straight three-point tries dating back to Week 17. However, point-after attempts bedeviled Succop to an extent during the regular season -- he misfired on five overall -- and Saturday saw a continuation of that inconsistency. Succop will strive for a flawless effort in the pristine kicking conditions of the Superdome in next Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Saints.

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.
Analysis: 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…read more

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.
Analysis: 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…read more

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.
Analysis: 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.

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

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.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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,…read more

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.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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…read more

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.
Analysis: 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…read more

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.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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…read more

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.
Analysis: 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.…read more

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.
Analysis: 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…read more

Nails four field goals in loss
Succop connected on field-goal attempts of 39, 35, 46 and 25 yards and also made his only extra-point try in the Buccaneers' 20-19 loss to the Bears on Thursday night.
Analysis: Succop saw plenty of opportunities with the Bears constantly bogging the Buccaneers down on Chicago's side of the field, and he parlayed them into a fruitful fantasy night. The veteran placekicker displayed some accuracy from a respectable distance on the 46-yarder, noteworthy because his only two misses on the season have come from beyond 40 yards. Factoring in his eight-point day (one field goal, five PATs) against the Chargers in Week 4, Succop has made it a rewarding four-day period for his…read more

Busy day in Week 4 win
Succop misfired on a 44-yard field-goal attempt wide left, drilled a 26-yard attempt and converted all five extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran kicker fell just short of a perfect day for the second straight week, but his performance was still very rewarding from a fantasy perspective. Tom Brady's clear acclimation to coach Bruce Arians' offensive scheme is working to the benefit of Succop, who's now had the opportunity to attempt 12 kicks overall in the last two games. The 12-year veteran has 28 points over his first four contests, with the one concern being that both of his missed field goals have come from beyond 40…read more

Makes four of five kicks in win
Succop made field-goal attempts of 43 and 35 yards and converted two of three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 28-10 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Analysis: Succop's one miss came on a block after the second of Mike Evans' two second-quarter touchdown receptions. Otherwise, the veteran kicker enjoyed another fruitful fantasy day facilitated by an improving Buccaneers offense. Through three games, Succop is 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts of 49 yards or below, 0-for-1 on his only one from beyond 50 yards and 4-for-5 on extra-point tries.

Busy day in Week 2 win
Succop converted his only field-goal attempt from 33 yards and drilled all four of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 31-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran kicker put together an even better performance than in the Week 1 loss to the Saints, accounting for seven points overall in the win. Succop was capped by an efficient Buccaneers offense Sunday in the sense that he only received one field-goal attempt, but he certainly has bright prospects overall on a team with an offense that has as many playmakers as Tampa Bay.

Nearly perfect in debut
Succop drilled a 38-yard field goal attempt, had a 54-yard attempt partly blocked and was successful on both of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 34-23 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: As those numbers demonstrate, it was a mostly successful Bucs debut for Succop, considering his one misfire wasn't entirely his fault and was from a difficult distance to begin with. Succop brings a solid 11-season track record into Tampa, one that includes better than 85.0 percent accuracy on field goals in four of his last five 16-game campaigns, numbers that were key to him usurping 2019 fifth-round pick Matt Gay for the job late in training camp despite just a brief audition.

The Buccaneers will waive Matt Gay, leaving Succop as the team's kicker heading into Week 1, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

Analysis: The team is waiving fellow kicker Elliott Fry in a corresponding transaction, setting up a last-minute competition between Succop and Matt Gay. The incumbent missed eight field-goal attempts and five PATs last season, while Succop had two stints on injured reserve with the Titans, going 1-for-6 on field-goal tries in his six games in between. Prior to last season, Succop enjoyed five consecutive campaigns with a field-goal percentage of 83.3 or better, so he could be an upgrade on Gay if last…read more

Shows off leg
Succop (knee) kicked successful 60-yard field goals in a recent video, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Prior to last season -- his 11th in the NFL -- Succop didn't miss a game between stints with the Chiefs and Titans. However, he missed some practice time in 2018 due to knee tendinitis, and subsequent offseason surgery caused his recovery to extend into the 2019 campaign. Despite returning to action Week 9, Succop made just one of six field-goal attempts (to go with 24 of 25 PATs) before landing back on IR after Week 15 and missing the Titans' playoff run. Now seemingly healthy, the 33-year-old…read more

Cut by Titans
The Titans released Succop (knee) on Friday, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: Succop converted at least 83.3 percent of his field-goal attempts in each season from 2014 to 2018, but he went just 1-of-6 in 2019, when he missed 10 games because of knee injuries. The 33-year-old should get another chance in the NFL once he's healthy, but the Titans had no interest in keeping him around for the third season of a five-year, $20 million contract. The team is left with Greg Joseph as its lone kicker on the offseason roster.

Candidate for release
Succop (knee) may be cut this offseason, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Succop signed a five-year, $20 million contract in March 2018, making him one of the highest-paid kickers in the NFL. He was impressive during the first season of his deal, but knee injuries limited him to six games in 2019, when he made just one of six field-goal attempts before landing on IR. The Titans can clear out $2 million in cap space by releasing the 33-year-old kicker.

Placed on IR
Tennessee placed Succop (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Succop has converted just one of six field-goal attempts since being activated from injured reserve in early November. It isn't clear if he suffered a setback with his knee or if his poor accuracy is the result of playing at less than full strength over the past couple months. Whatever the case, the Titans signed Greg Joseph to replace Succop as their placekicker for the rest of the season.

Analysis: Succop had a 45-yard field goal blocked at the conclusion of the Titans' first offensive possession. He's now just 1-for-6 on field-goal attempts since returning from injured reserve, though he has managed to make 24 of his 25 extra-point attempts. Nevertheless, his job could be in jeopardy as the team closes the season with two must-win contests against the Saints and Texans.

Misses lone field-goal attempt
Succop missed his only field-goal attempt but did make all six of his extra-point attempts in the Titans' Week 14 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Succop hit the left upright from 42 yards away to close the first half. He has now hit just one of his five field-goal attempts for the season, struggling to get in rhythm after missing the first eight weeks of the campaign with a knee injury. Given the importance of victories at this point in the season for Tennessee, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the team consider a change at the position.

Second consecutive perfect contest
Succop made his lone field-goal attempt and also made all four of his extra-point attempts in the team's Week 13 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Succop put together his second consecutive strong performance, converting his lone field-goal attempt from 41 yards away. He also connected on each of his extra-point attempts, marking the second consecutive week he's made all of his kicks. Given that the team added competition in Ryan Santoso Nov. 27, it was imperative for Succop to have a good performance. As a result of his perfect effort, he'll likely hang onto the kicker job as the team heads into a Week 14 matchup against the Raiders.

Potential competition on tap
Succop may have job competition after the Titans signed Ryan Santoso on Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: While the Titans intend on rostering Succop and Santoso for Sunday's game against the Colts, Wyatt explains they haven't determined how they'll deploy the tandem. There is a chance Santoso takes over kickoff duties. However, Succop has missed all three field-goal attempts since signing with the team Week 9, so there could be a competition if those struggles continue. For fantasy purposes, fading Succop in Week 13 is a viable option since he appears to be on a short leash.

Succop did not attempt a field goal but made three of his four extra-point attempts in the team's Week 10 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Succop pushed his second extra-point of the day wide left, continuing his unsteady performance since returning from a knee injury. In two games, Succop has now missed four total kicks, as he missed three field-goal attempts in his season debut. The Titans have cycled through kickers this season and Succop is a veteran of the team, so it's likely he'll have a chance to correct his early mishaps.

Struggles in return
Succop missed all three of his field-goal attempts but made both of his extra-point attempts in the team's Week 9 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Succop struggled in his return from a knee injury that cost him the first eight weeks of the campaign. He missed kicks form 43, 56 and 44 yards, the first of which came on the team's opening offensive possession. Tennessee has struggled to find consistent performance from their kickers this season, as both Cody Parkey and Cairo Santos had up and down tenures with the team. Succop will look to bounce back in Week 10 against the Chiefs.

Analysis: Succop was activated from injured reserve and will immediately resume as the starting kicker with the Titans releasing Cody Parkey in a corresponding move. The 33-year-old, who will be making his 2019 debut, was one of the league's better kickers last season, making 86.7 percent of his kicks, although only 36 percent of those were attempted from 40 yards or longer.
