There's no better example of the up-and-down life of an NFL kicker than Arizona's Chad Ryland.
As the Cardinals completed their fourth-quarter rally in Dallas with a game-tying touchdown in the final seconds of regulation, Ryland trotted onto the field to attempt the game-winning extra point. He missed wide left.
However, Ryland's teammates picked him up and gave him a second chance. His 42-yard field goal gave Arizona the win in overtime . And for those fantasy managers who started Ryland, the missed PAT led to three more points on his ledger.
Surprisingly, he's the No. 8 kicker this season, averaging 9.4 fantasy points per game.
