On the Rise

Josh Brown Rams: The former Seahawk brings his 80 percent career field-goal rate indoors to the Edward Jones Dome.

Mason Crosby Packers: Unless there's a Brett Favre return, the NFL scoring leader's extra-point total will fall, but his field-goal chances should skyrocket.

Shaun Suisham Redskins: Washington's new offense will drive his points total north.

On the Decline

Jason Elam Falcons: After 15 years of kicking in Mile High, he falls to the depths of the NFL with Atlanta.

David Akers Eagles: In the last four seasons he's gone from being the NFL's second-most accurate kicker alltime to 14th.

Jason Hanson Lions: Detroit's new conservative offense will mean fewer chances for the longest-suffering Lion.

Sleepers

Matt Prater Broncos: True, he has only four career field-goal attempts, but Denver's kickers have accounted for at least 103 points each year since 1993.

Jay Feely Dolphins: Big changes on offense, including the return of two top running backs, make the idea of taking a Miami kicker less laughable than it has been.

Adam Vinatieri Colts: Sure, he didn't make a field goal of 40 yards or longer last year, but he only attempted three from that range.

Greg Ambrosius' Player Rankings

1. Stepehn Gostkowski, Patriots: With the Patriots setting all kinds of scoring records last year, Gostkowski flourished, ranking second in scoring with 137 points thanks to converting a staggering 74 extra points.
2. Nick Folk, Cowboys: Folk finished fourth in scoring during his rookie season with 131 points, converting 26-of-31 field goals with 53 extra points. Behind an explosive Cowboys' offense, Folk should once again top 130 points in 2008.
3. Josh Brown, Rams: Brown scored a career-high 127 points with Seattle last year and then signed a five-year, $14.2 million contract with the Rams. If Marc Bulger and Steven Jackson can stay healthy, Brown could top 125 points again this year.
4. Shayne Graham, Bengals: He's a steady kicker on a team that should be among the league's leaders in scoring, so expect another 125-plus points from Graham in '08.
5. Josh Scobee, Jaguars: Scobee was a top-five scorer in '06, and with a full season of health in '08 he should be able to deliver 120-plus points again.
