Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Kickers
Kickers
By Pat Fitzmaurice
Eddy Pineiro (K – SF): 21% Rostered
- Next Opponents: ATL, @HOU, @NYG
- True Value: $1
- Desperate Need: $2
- Budget-Minded: $0
Analysis: Eddy Pineiro has been terrific since replacing Jake Moody as the 49ers’ kicker, hitting 15-of-15 field goals and 7-of-8 extra points in five games with San Francisco. The 49ers have averaged 22 points over their last three games despite being clobbered by injuries. They have a chance to get quarterback Brock Purdy, tight end George Kittle and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall back from injuries this week, which could brighten the scoring outlook for Pineiro. The Niners get a Week 7 home game against the Falcons, who entered Week 6 having allowed 11.8 fantasy points per game to kickers.
Michael Badgley (K – IND): 11% Rostered
- Next Opponents: @LAC, TEN, @PIT
- True Value: $1
- Desperate Need: $1
- Budget-Minded: $0
Analysis: The Colts brought in Michael Badgley to replace Spencer Shrader, who sustained a season-ending knee injury in Week 5. In his first game, Badgley drilled his only field-goal attempt (a 45-yarder) and was 4-of-4 on extra points. The Colts’ offense has been humming all season, which is why Shrader was tied with Chase McLaughlin for the lead in fantasy scoring among kickers after five weeks. Badgley is inheriting a potentially lucrative role, and he filled it nicely in his first week on the job.
Jason Myers (K – SEA): 23% Rostered
- Next Opponents: HOU, BYE, @WSH
- True Value: $1
- Desperate Need: $1
- Budget-Minded: $0
Analysis: The underrated Jason Myers has been a top-10 fantasy kicker this season, averaging 10.5 fantasy points per game. Four of his 11 field goals have come from 50 yards or beyond. The Seahawks have been putting up points aplenty, averaging 30.6 points over their last five games.
Andy Borregales (K – NE): 2% Rostered
- Next Opponents: @TEN, CLE, ATL
- True Value: $1
- Desperate Need: $1
- Budget-Minded: $0
Analysis: Andy Borregales got off to a shaky start this season, missing a field goal and two extra-point attempts in his first two games. But he has since converted 4-of-4 field goals and 12-of-12 extra points. Second-year signal-caller Drake Maye has the New England offense clicking. The Patriots have averaged 30 points over their last three games. They get a favorable matchup against the Titans this week, and their matchups against the Browns and Falcons in Weeks 8-9 aren’t bad either.
Cam Little (K – JAX): 37% Rostered
- Next Opponents: LAR, BYE, @LV
- True Value: $0
- Desperate Need: $1
- Budget-Minded: $0
Analysis: Cam Little had a tough day on Sunday, missing his only two kicks — a 50-yard field-goal attempt and an extra point — but he’s produced nine or more fantasy points in four out of six games this season. Little gets a Week 7 matchup against the Rams, who have allowed 12.8 fantasy points per game to kickers.
