Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Kickers

Kickers

Written by Pat Fitzmaurice

Harrison Butker (K – KC): 43% Rostered

• Next Opponents: @DEN, IND, @DAL
• True Value: $1
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-Minded: $0

Analysis: With the Chiefs on bye in Week 10, Harrison Butker‘s rostership in Yahoo leagues fell below 50% for the first time this season. Butker is averaging 8.1 fantasy points per game, ranking 19th in that category among kickers who have played at least three games. Although he hasn’t been a fantasy dynamo so far this season, Butker has a strong career track record and is tied to the prolific Kansas City offense.

Evan McPherson (K – CIN): 34% Rostered

• Next Opponents: @PIT, NE, @BAL
• True Value: $1
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-Minded: $0

Analysis: Since the Bengals traded for Joe Flacco, they’ve averaged 32.8 points a game. Evan McPherson has averaged 10.3 fantasy points per game over that stretch. This week, he faces the Steelers, who entered Week 10 having allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game to kickers.

Will Reichard (K – MIN): 41% Rostered

• Next Opponents: CHI, @GB, SEA
• True Value: $1
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-Minded: $0

Analysis: Will Reichard is averaging 9.6 fantasy points per game. He’s 16-of-18 on field goals this season and 16-of-16 on extra points, and the only two kicks he’s missed were field-goal attempts from 51 and 53 yards. Kickers with indoor games become more attractive this time of year, as inclement weather becomes more of a factor. Reichard gets a dome game at the Vikings’ U.S. Bank Stadium this Sunday against the Bears.

Cairo Santos (K – CHI): 29% Rostered

• Next Opponents: @MIN, PIT, @PHI
• True Value: $1
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-Minded: $0

Analysis: Cairo Santos wasn’t asked to do much Sunday on a windy day in Chicago, but he made all three of his extra-point attempts and knocked home his only field goal try, a 22-yarder. Weather was a factor for Santos and the Bears in Week 10, but it won’t be this week, when the Bears visit the Vikings in their domed stadium. Santos is averaging a solid 9.1 fantasy points per game this season.

Andy Borregales (K – NE): 6% Rostered

• Next Opponents: NYJ, @CIN, NYG
• True Value: $0
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-Minded: $0

Analysis: Andy Borregales hasn’t been a top-scoring kicker this season, averaging 7.3 fantasy points per game, but he gets an appealing home matchup against the Jets this week. The Jets are giving up a league-high 11.9 fantasy points per game to kickers.
