Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

KICKERS

Written by Pat Fitzmaurice

Jake Moody (SF): 46% rostered

• Next Opponents: NYG, ARI, DAL
• True value: $2
• Desperate Need: $3
• Budget-minded: $1

The 49ers’ offense is a war machine, and Moody has benefitted so far, kicking six field goals and six extra points in San Francisco’s first two games. The 49ers are at home for their next three games and have soft matchups in their next two, starting with a Thursday night game against the Giants this week.

Brandon Aubrey (DAL): 6% rostered

• Next Opponents: @ARI, NE, @SF
• True value: $2
• Desperate Need: $3
• Budget-minded: $1

The Cowboys have crushed their first two opponents by a combined score of 70-10, and Aubrey has gone 7-of-7 on field goals and 5-of-6 on extra points. The rookie kicker is bound to have plenty of scoring this week when the Cowboys visit Arizona for what figures to be a squash match against the Cardinals.

Greg Joseph (MIN): 14% rostered

• Next Opponents: LAC, @CAR, KC
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Joseph has only kicked one field goal so far, but he’s booted six PATs. The Vikings could find themselves in a lot of shootouts this year, since they have a high-powered passing game but shaky defense. There should be a lot of scoring this week when the Vikings host the Chargers, and then Joseph gets a seemingly favorable Week 4 matchup against the Panthers.

Brandon McManus (JAX): 36% rostered

• Next Opponents: HOU, ATL, @BUF
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Although the Jaguars’ offense failed to score any touchdowns vs. the Chiefs on Sunday, Jacksonville should have no trouble putting points on the board this season. A 10th-year veteran, McManus has an 81.5% career success rate on field goals and is a perfect 4-of-4 so far this season. The Jaguars are at home the next two weeks and have an inviting matchup against the division-rival Texans this week.

Riley Patterson (DET): 49% rostered

• Next Opponents: ATL, @GB, CAR
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Good kicker, good offense. Patterson has kicked only one field goal so far this season, but he’s 44-of-50 on FGs for his career. He has playable matchups the next four weeks and doesn’t face a daunting matchup until he and the Lions visit Baltimore in Week 7.
