Coach Chip Kelly said he went for it on fourth down a lot at Oregon because he didn't have a strong kicker.
Kelly has a reputation for being a riverboat gambler that often eschews field goals on fourth down. "I think there's fallacy and reality," he said. "If you don't have a guy that can kick a long field goal, what are you going to do when the ball is on the 37-yard line?" Eagles kicker Alex Henery went 11-of-13 from 40-plus yards out last year. We still wouldn't be surprised if Kelly's fourth-down aggressiveness costs Henery a handful of field goal chances. Mar 26 - 8:15 AM

Alex Henery - K - Eagles

Eagles K Alex Henery reportedly kicked with a lot of confidence during offseason workouts.

Henery has no reason not to be confident. Over the final 12 games of last season, he went 16-for-16 on field goals. The second-year man is a strong fantasy kicking option in the Eagles' potentially explosive offense.

Alex Henery - K - Eagles

Eagles K Alex Henery has made 14 consecutive field goals.

After a somewhat slow start to the season, Henery has shown the form that made him a fourth-round pick in the draft. He hasn't missed since Week 4 and hit a 51-yarder in Week 16. Henery projects as a top-10 fantasy kicking option in 2012.

Alex Henery - K - Eagles

Special teams coordinator Bobby April isn't concerned about K Alex Henery after two back-breaking missed field goals in the fourth quarter last week.

April is working with Henery this week, but there's no real concern about a loss of confidence. "He was dying to kick the winning field goal," said April, "and that looked really genuine to me. That sounded, looked, unless he's a [heck] of an actor, he had every intention of kicking the winning field goal."

Alex Henery - K - Eagles

Eagles K Alex Henery went 4-for-5 on field goals this preseason.

Henery's lone miss came from 43 yards in last night's finale but he bounced back with a 49-yard make later in the game. Despite some early-camp inconsistency, we're confident using the rookie as a fantasy starter. The Eagles' offense is going to produce plenty of attempts -- and their first two games are in domes.

Alex Henery - K - Eagles

Coach Andy Reid is fine with his kicking situation after rookie Alex Henery's shaky training camp.

Tim McManus of Philly Sports Daily noted that Henery "missed too many kicks to leave camp feeling warm and fuzzy about the position." Reid insists he's not concerned with the rookie, though. Henery is a high-risk, high-reward fantasy kicker. Draft him and throw him back on the pile if he doesn't work out.

Alex Henery - K - Eagles

Eagles signed fourth-round K Alex Henery to a four-year contract.

An absolute star in NCAA, Henery is a Nebraska alum who will be immediately on the fantasy radar kicking in Philadelphia. He has plenty of leg strength and accuracy, and will benefit from the Birds' high-scoring, aggressive offense.

Alex Henery - K - Eagles

Special teams coach Bobby April believes fourth-round K Alex Henery will lead the team in points for "10, 15 years."

Said April of the most accurate kicker in NCAA history, "That's a big weapon, now." It's hardly news for a kicker to lead his team in scoring, but Henerey should garner fantasy consideration from the get-go. David Akers was top-six in the NFL in both field-goal attempts and extra-point attempts in each of the past three seasons.

Alex Henery - K - Eagles

The Eagles will not use No. 120 overall pick Alex Henery as a punter.

He'll be strictly a placekicker, replacing free agent David Akers. It sounds like the Eagles plan to bring back Saverio Rocca despite a miserable 2010 season. The Birds will likely be in the market for a punting upgrade soon.

Alex Henery - K - Eagles

New Eagles K Alex Henery made all eight of his field goals from 40 to 49 yards and was 2-of-3 from 50-plus yards out at Nebraska last season.

Henery takes over for David Akers, who was annually one of the top fantasy kickers in the league. With Michael Vick at the controls, the Eagles figure to be in the red zone as much as anyone again. The Eagles ranked fifth in field-goal attempts last season with 38, putting Henery firmly on the fantasy radar.

Alex Henery - K - Eagles

Eagles selected Nebraska K Alex Henery with the No. 120 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft.

Nebraska's all-time leader scorer and also a boffo punter, Henery is one of the best kickers in NCAA history. He holds the record for career field-goal percentage at 89.2 while drilling 77.4 percent of kicks longer than 40 yards. David Akers, heretofore reluctant to sign his transition-tag tender, just got a spur in the rump.
