Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Week 8

Greg Joseph (MIN): 20% rostered

• Next opponents: ARI, @WAS, @BUF
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Joseph has a nice setup for Week 8. He’ll kick inside the domed environs of Minnesota’s U.S. Bank Stadium, and he’ll face the Cardinals, who have been one of the most generous teams to opposing kickers. Arizona was giving up an average of 11.7 fantasy points to kickers going into Week 7, and then the Saints’ Will Lutz kicked two field goals and three extra points against them last Thursday. Joseph has been somewhat erratic this season, missing four FGs and two PATs, but he’s been awash in scoring opportunities. He’s averaged 2.2 FG attempts and 2.3 PAT tried a game.

Jason Myers (SEA): 30% rostered

• Next opponents: NYG, @ARI, @TB
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Myers has been money in the bank this season, going 15-of-16 on field goals and 18-of-19 on extra points. He’s a perfect 3-of-3 on FG tries of 50 or more yards. The Seahawks’ next two opponents – the Giants and Cardinals – have been generous to kickers this season.

Jake Elliott (PHI): 8% rostered

• Next opponents: PIT, @HOU, WAS
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: The Eagles’ offense has actually drained some of Elliott’s value simply because he’s kicking too many PATs and too few FGs. Elliott has made 6-of-7 field goals in five games. He’s 15-of-16 on extra points, averaging 3.0 PATs a game. It’s generally good for a kicker to be tied to a prolific offense, and that’s the case here. The Eagles should be heavy favorites in each of their next three games.

Riley Patterson (JAC): 14% rostered

• Next opponents: DEN, LV, @KC
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Patterson is 10-of-11 on field goals and 13-of-14 on extra points. He has a Week 8 home game against the Broncos, who had given up 11.2 fantasy points per game to kickers entering Week 7 and then gave up three field goals to the Jets’ Greg Zuerlein on Sunday.

Jason Sanders (MIA): 13% rostered

• Next opponents: @DET, @CHI, CLE
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Sanders gets to kick inside this weekend, and he’ll face the Lions, who are yielding an average of 31.7 points per game..

Greg Zuerlein (NYJ): 12% rostered

• Next opponents: NE, BUF, BYE
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Zuerlein drilled all three of his FG tries in Denver on Sunday and is now 13-of-15 on field goals for the season. His Week 8 matchup against the Patriots isn’t especially good, but it’s not a skull-and-crossbones matchup either.
