Week 8 Player Notes & Start/Sit Advice

The following two kickers are players ranked outside of the FantasyPros ECR top 10 who could be an excellent play in Week 7.

Jason Myers (K – SEA) vs. NYG: 33% roster percentage on Yahoo

It is not often that you get a top-three kicker on the season with one of the best K Scores of the season. In the case of Myers at home against the Giants, that is exactly what fantasy managers have, and Myers is available in two-thirds of leagues. Unless you have Justin Tucker or Daniel Carlson, I would drop your kicker for Myers.

Riley Patterson (JAX) vs. Denver: 13% roster percentage on Yahoo

It may take a bit of guts to start a kicker on the Jags who just posted two fantasy points in Week 7. It may take even more intestinal fortitude to start a player who has just one double-digit performance since Week 3. Yet, if you are looking for a player who is available everywhere and a cheap play in DFS, Patterson’s K Score of 19 is hard to ignore.
