As we head into the home stretch of the 2021 Fantasy season, it is important for fantasy managers to review their next four weeks to ensure they have a solid option for the end of the regular season and the playoff run.
If you have an elite kicker like Justin Tucker, Nick Folk, Matt Gay, or Daniel Carlson, you should be good to go (but know that Folk is on bye next week.) If you do not have one of those top options, you should strongly consider mapping out your next four weeks with considerations for weather, matchup, and of course, K Score.
For the remainder of the season, the weather is going to be a huge consideration for owners looking to discern between two possible options. When trying to choose between two closely ranked players, always go with the one playing in a dome. Snow and rain are always a worry, but the biggest threat to kickers are high winds and really cold temperatures.
One player to consider is Dustin Hopkins of the Chargers. Although he did miss an extra point this week and disappointed managers with just one point back in Week 12, Hopkins plays all of his remaining games indoors and is available in 70% of Yahoo leagues.
