The problem: consistency

Slye started out the season as a legitimate fantasy football stud. However, he’s slowed down some as the year has gone on. Slye’s problems began against Jacksonville Week 5, when he had one field goal blocked and missed another plus an extra point attempt. In London, he missed two more field goals against the Buccaneers. Slye also had some issues in the Week 9 win over the Titans. For the season, he’s at 16/22 on field goals, just 72.7%. He’s not going to make all of them, but more consistency would certainly help.
