Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

Jake Elliott: 37% rostered

• Next opponents: JAC, @ARI, DAL
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: NA
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Elliott is making a nice living on PATs alone. He’s kicked 11 of them, and he’s 3-of-4 on FG attempts. The Eagles are going to keep giving him scoring opportunities, and a little less offensive efficiency would actually do Elliott some good, giving him more FG opportunities.

Mason Crosby (GB): 5% rostered

• Next opponents: NE, NYG, NYJ
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: NA
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Crosby isn’t an especially reliable kicker, and the Packers like to go for it on fourth down. So, what makes Crosby appealing? Well, the Packers’ upcoming schedule is a cakewalk. They have three straight home games against teams that have trouble scoring points and keeping the football away from their opponents. That should lead to plenty of scoring opportunities. When the Packers finally go on the road again in Week 7, they’ll play the Commanders in Washington. Grab Crosby for a buck and let him kick for you until Week 8, when the Packers visit Buffalo.

Jason Sanders (MIA): 9% rostered

• Next opponents: @CIN, @NYJ, MIN
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: NA
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: The Dolphins have been on such a roll offensively that Sanders has only tried two field goals this season while kicking 11 PATs. He nailed both of the FG tries, of course – Sanders is a good one. With the Dolphins looking like a legitimate AFC contender, Sanders should be a viable fantasy option for the balance of the season. If you don’t grab him now, circle back in a month or two. When the weather starts to turn inclement in northern cities, you might be happy to have a Miami-based kicker.

Austin Seibert (DET): 3% rostered

• Next opponents: SEA, @NE, BYE
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: NA
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: The Lions can put points on the board, and they have an attractive home matchup against the Seahawks this week.

Stash candidate: Harrison Butker

Butker has been out with an ankle injury and has been dropped in a lot of leagues. He should be back soon, and this is a good chance to get a kicker tied to one of the most prolific offenses in the league.
