Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

Jason Myers (SEA): 28% rostered

  • Next opponents: LV, @LAR, CAR
  • True value: $1
  • Desperate need: $2
  • Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Myers is tied for fourth in kicker scoring, averaging 9.6 fantasy points per game. He’s drilled 19-of-20 field goals and 26-of-27 extra points. He’ll be kicking at home this week with an appealing matchup against the Raiders, whose defense ranks last in Football Outsiders’ DVOA metric.

Ryan Succop (TB): 34% rostered

  • Next opponents: @CLE, NO, @SF
  • True value: $1
  • Desperate need: $2
  • Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Succop has kicked multiple field goals in 7-of-10 games this season, including a pair of four-FG games and a pair of three-FG games. Succop is averaging 9.1 fantasy points per game, and he gets a Week 12 matchup against the Browns, who are giving up 10.9 fantasy points per game to kickers. Succop also gets an attractive Week 13 matchup vs. the Saints, who have given up the second-most fantasy points to kickers.

Jason Sanders (MIA): 8% rostered

  • Next opponents: HOU, @SF, @LAC
  • True value: $1
  • Desperate need: $1
  • Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Sanders is only 19th among kickers in fantasy scoring, but the Dolphins are seventh in the NFL in scoring. He’s missed four FG attempts and three extra points this season, but Sanders should at least be weather-immune in Week 12, kicking against the Texans in sunny Miami. The Texans are yielding 9.9 fantasy points per game to kickers.

Cameron Dicker (LAC): 13% rostered

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

Analysis: In three games with the Chargers, Dicker the Kicker is a perfect 7-for-7 on field goals and 6-for-6 on extra points. The Chargers’ offense is giving him ample scoring opportunities, and the rookie is converting all of them. He won’t have to deal with any weather conditions this week when the Chargers visit Arizona.

Brandon McManus (DEN): 23% rostered

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

Analysis: The Broncos’ offense is struggling, but sometimes a team’s offensive struggles can benefit a kicker. As Russell Wilson and the Denver offense sputtered through a Week 11 game against the Raiders, drives kept stalling, and McManus kept attempting field goals. He tried four of them Sunday, making three. McManus is 15th in kicker scoring, and a Week 12 matchup against the Panthers at least looks good on paper.
