Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Kickers

Kickers

Written by Pat Fitzmaurice

Wil Lutz (K – DEN): 40% Rostered

Next Opponents: @WSH, @LV, GB
True Value: $1
Desperate Need: $2
Budget-Minded: $0

Analysis: Wil Lutz scored a season-high 18 fantasy points in his most recent game before the Broncos’ Week 12 bye, kicking five field goals in Denver’s 22-19 win over Kansas City. Strangely, it was the first time all season that Lutz produced double-digit fantasy points. It’s not for lack of accuracy. Lutz has missed only three kicks all season, going 17-of-20 on field-goal attempts and 24-of-24 on extra points. Lutz has a favorable Week 13 matchup against the Commanders, who are giving up 9.9 fantasy points per game to kickers. Washington is giving up an average of 26.9 points per game this season and 32.5 points per game since Week 6. Lutz also gets an attractive Week 14 matchup against the Raiders.

Andy Borregales (K – NE): 31% Rostered

Next Opponents: NYG, BYE, BUF
True Value: $1
Desperate Need: $2
Budget-Minded: $0

Analysis: Andy Borregales is on a heater, averaging 10.2 fantasy points over his last five games. He went 4-of-4 on field goals and 2-of-2 on extra points on Sunday against the Bengals, with the last of his field goals covering 52 yards. Borregales is tied to a good offense, and he gets a solid home matchup against the Giants in Week 13.

Evan McPherson (K – CIN): 38% Rostered

Next Opponents: @BAL, @BUF, BAL
True Value: $1
Desperate Need: $2
Budget-Minded: $0

Analysis: Evan McPherson is coming off a terrific performance against the Patriots in which he had long-distance field goals of 54 and 63 yards. McPherson is averaging 11.2 fantasy points over his last five games, with at least eight points in each of those contests. McPherson has a Thanksgiving date with the Ravens, who are giving up 9.5 fantasy points per game to kickers. The Bengals’ offense could get a big lift if Joe Burrow returns to action this week. Burrow has been practicing in full and seems ready to come back from the toe injury that has kept him out of action since September.

Matt Prater (K – BUF): 43% Rostered

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

Analysis: The Bills’ offense has been erratic lately, which could actually work to the benefit of their kicker. Prater has been solid this season, averaging 7.7 fantasy points per game. The Bills have a Week 13 date with the Steelers. Heinz Field isn’t the easiest place for visiting kickers to ply their trade, but the Steelers are giving up 9.7 fantasy points per game to kickers.
