Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

Jason Myers (SEA): 19% rostered

Next Opponents: ARI, CLE, @BAL
True value: $1
Desperate need: $2
Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Myers got off to a slow start this season converting only 3-of-6 FG attempts in his first two games. He’s since gone 8-of-9 on field goals, and he’s a perfect 11-of-11 on extra points this season. Myers made two field goals against the Bengals on Sunday, including a 55-yarder shortly before halftime. The Seahawks have a solid offense, and they get a favorable Week 7 matchup against the Cardinals, making Myers an appealing streamer.

Blake Grupe (NO): 5% rostered

Next Opponents: JAX, @IND, CHI
True value: $1
Desperate need: $2
Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Grupe missed a pair of field goals on Sunday, including a 29-yard chip shot. So why are we recommending him? Well, Grupe was 11-of-12 on field goals entering Week 6, and he’s 10-of-10 on extra points. Grupe was eighth among kickers in fantasy scoring going into Week 6. And best of all, the Saints have an easy schedule. This week’s matchup against the Jaguars isn’t a great one — the Jaguars have a tough, underrated defense — but Grupe’s schedule is a cakewalk for the most part.

Brett Maher (LAR): 42% rostered

Next Opponents: PIT, @DAL, @GB
True value: $1
Desperate need: $2
Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Maher has been awash in scoring opportunities, averaging 3.3 FG attempts per game. He’s 16-of-20 on field goals this year and 12-of-12 on extra points. Maher gets a decent Week 7 home matchup against the Steelers, who are giving up 8.6 fantasy points per game to kickers.

Cameron Dicker (LAC): 22% rostered

Next Opponents:@KC, CHI, @NYJ
True value: $1
Desperate need: $2
Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Should Dicker be ranked higher? He’s a good kicker tied to one of the better offenses in the league. The catch with Dicker is that his head coach is Brandon Staley, quite possibly the most hyper-aggressive coach in the league when it comes to going for it on fourth down. Staley’s fourth-down aggression will cost Dicker scoring opportunities and may leave fantasy managers tearing their hair out. But there’s no questioning Dicker’s accuracy. In 15 career games he’s converted 93.1% of his field goals and 100% of his extra points.

Chase McLaughlin (TB): 1% rostered

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

Analysis: In five games, McLaughlin has made 9-of-10 field goals and 7-of-7 extra points. He has an appealing matchup this week against the Falcons, who had given up the 10th-most fantasy points to kickers entering Week 6.
