ON THE RISE
STEPHEN GOSTKOWSKI Patriots
New England's retooled offense will help keep the second-year kicker on a Vinatieri-like pace.
ROBBIE GOULD Bears
Grossman's offense tends to stall in the red zone, which is good news for Gould.
JEFF WILKINS Rams
St. Louis will be better than .500, and Wilkins, one of the NFL's most accurate, will benefit.
ON THE DECLINE
JASON ELAM Broncos
The 15-year veteran is not getting the high number of attempts he used to.
JEFF REED Steelers
He's only as productive as Big Ben's attack, which didn't click in '06. That doesn't explain Reed's worst kicking pct. in three seasons.
LAWRENCE TYNES Giants
RB Brandon Jacobs, a shoo-in near the goal line, will limit Tynes's chances.
SLEEPERS
ROB BIRONAS Titans
True, he had only 33 points through eight games last year -- but he had 64 in the last eight.
OLINDO MARE Saints
Two things he never had in Miami: an explosive offense and -- hallelujah! -- a dome.
JUSTIN MEDLOCK Chiefs
Larry Johnson and no competition in camp make the newcomer from UCLA the Rookie Kicker Most Likely to Succeed.
