Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups: Kickers

Written by Pat Fitzmaurice

Tyler Loop: 16% rostered

Meet the Baltimore Ravens’ new kicker. Loop made 83.8% of his FG attempts over four seasons at the University of Arizona. He converted 9-of-11 FG tries in the preseason, with five of those field goals coming from beyond 50 yards, including a 61-yarder. The Ravens were third in the NFL in scoring last season, averaging 30.5 points per game, so Loop should have ample scoring opportunities.

Cam Little: 33% rostered

You may have seen Little kick a 70-yard field goal in the preseason. The big leg is appealing. Perhaps even more appealing are matchups with the Panthers and Bengals the first two weeks of the season. Carolina and Cincinnati might have the two worst defenses in the league. Little, who frilled 27-of-29 FGs and 27-of-29 PATs for the Jags last year, could get off to a fast start.

Matt Gay: 19% rostered

The ultra-reliable Gay has converted 85.5% of his career FG attempts. He plays for the ascendant Commanders, and his early-season schedule (Giants, Packers, Falcons, Raiders) looks favorable.
