News: 3 days agoThe Chargers and Dicker agreed to terms Friday on a four-year, $22 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Spin: Dicker's new deal reportedly includes $12.5 million guaranteed. As a result of the contract, Dicker is linked to Los Angeles through the 2028 season. In his two-year career, Dicker has converted 52 of 55 field-goal attempts and all 59 of his extra-point tries, making him one of the most reliable placekickers in the NFL. There could be a chance for him to improve his fantasy production this season if new coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman can put the Chargers in more consistent scoring position.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Dicker has been quite a find for the Chargers, who scooped him up off waivers in mid-2022. In 28 games, he has converted all but three field goal attempts, including a perfect 45-for-45 on kicks shorter than 50 yards, and he hasn't missed any of his 59 extra-point attempts. Dicker was seventh in total fantasy points and ninth in top-10 weekly performances in 2023. He'll serve in the same capacity in 2024, for a run-heavy Chargers offense that might find itself in an advantageous number of field goal situations. Dicker's offense might lead to some weekly scoring inconsistency, but he's a solid pick once the kickers from higher-powered offenses are off the board.
