Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
During his first 24 NFL seasons -- and that's a phrase that could only have been written about Andersen and George Blanda -- Andersen connected on 825 extra points and 540 field goals. Andersen kicked for the Falcons last season, but the team opted to go with Prater this season. However, Andersen lived near the Falcons training complex and as soon as Prater struggled Sunday for the second straight week, costing Atlanta points it desperately needed, the Falcons arranged a workout for their old standby.
