The Facts:
The kicker position was one of the most hotly contested battles on the team in the preseason, but an injury to Aaron Elling's hip made Mike Tice's decision much easier than he initially anticipated. Elling could not kick Sept. 2 in the preseason finale at Seattle, and Edinger cemented his spot by making the game-winning field goal in the 23-21 victory.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Just over a week ago, Tice declared that he was "baffled" with his kicking situation because both players were performing so well. But Elling strained his hip flexor in pregame warmups before the team's third preseason game against San Diego, and Edinger, who signed as a free agent from Chicago in the offseason, essentially won the job that night after kicking four field goals.
