Analysis
Ammendola is no more, and these rankings show why as he’s almost at the bottom. Hopefully Butker will return and be a significant improvement.
On the flip side, Townsend was a bright spot in an otherwise horrible day for special teams last week, and the rankings show it as he’s the 3rd best punter in the NFL through 3 weeks.
