Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Kicker

Nick Folk (NE): 43% rostered

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

Analysis: Folk is second in the league in field goals attempted (21) and tied for second in field goals made (19). Bill Belichick appreciates the value of three points, especially since the New England passing game isn’t particularly explosive. At 9.8 fantasy points per game, Folk trails only Justin Tucker in that category.

Greg Zuerlein (NYJ): 6% rostered

  • Next opponents: @NE, CHI, @MIN
  • True value: $1
  • Desperate need: $2
  • Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: “Greg the Leg” is averaging 9.0 fantasy points per game, which ranks seventh among kickers who have played at least four games. After missing a field goal and an extra point in Week 1, Zuerlein has since made 15-of-17 field goals and 20 straight extra points. He gets a neutral Week 11 matchup against the Patriots.

Robbie Gould (SF): 48% rostered

  • Next opponents: @ARI, NO, MIA
  • True value: $1
  • Desperate need: $1
  • Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Gould missed one of his two extra-point tries Sunday night against the Chargers but made all three of his FG attempts. Gould is tied to an explosive offense, and he gets a Week 11 matchup against the Cardinals, who entered Week 10 having allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to kickers.

Ka’imi Fairbairn (HOU): 3% rostered

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

Analysis: The Texans’ kicker? Hey, don’t laugh. Fairbairn entered Week 10 averaging 8.7 fantasy points per game, tied for ninth among kickers who’ve played at least four games, then drilled all three of his field goals and an extra point Sunday against the Giants. Fairbairn has attempted multiple field goals in all but two games this season.
