2012 Experience: 2nd Season
Fantasy Football Outlook: After a somewhat rocky start to his career (missed three of his first eleven attempts), Alex Henery went on to finish up the year by converting all of his final sixteen opportunities. While encouraging for the future, it took Henery from week five to week seventeen to amass those field-goal attempts.
Despite a slow rookie campaign, Henery could be one of the better late round sleeper options at his position, as his background from college suggests he has plenty of great years in front of him. Fantasy owners can also feel good about Henery’s conversion rate from over 40 yards, as he knocked through five of his six opportunities, last year.
Many times, it takes a kicker a year or two to earn his coaching staffs trust that he’s worth using from long distances – mainly because of field position. That said, I think Henery will be a weekly fantasy starter, if, the Eagles can turn things around as a team and look more like the playoff squad we saw in 2010 in contrast to the, at times, dysfunctional team from last year.

Summer of 2011: Fantasy Projections
Alex Henery had a great college career as he was the most accurate kicker in NCAA history and the Eagles thought enough of him to select him in the fourth round, ending David Akers time in Philadelphia. Add all that up and expectations will be high for Henery and if he struggles during the season, Eagles’ fans will be up in arms about why Coach Andy Reid got rid of one of the better kickers in football, and probably the teams greatest kicker in franchise history.
That said, Henery should be worth owning in ten team leagues right off the bat as he has the credentials to have success and plays on one of the top teams for fantasy production as a kicker. Akers enjoyed a terrific season last year, and Michael Vick and great supporting cast will continue to give Henery many opportunities.
