Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

KICKERS

Brandon McManus (JAX): 47% rostered

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

Analysis: Since the beginning of October, the Jaguars have scored 20 or more points in 7-of-8 games, and they’ve topped 30 points three times during that stretch. McManus entered Week 12 ranked fifth among kickers in fantasy scoring. He’s kicked three or more field goals in six of Jacksonville’s 11 games. McManus gets a Week 12 matchup against the Bengals, who entered Week 12th having allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game to kickers.

Matt Gay (IND): 21% rostered

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

Analysis: If you have enough faith in Colts head coach Shane Steichen and the Indianapolis offense, you can ride Gay all the way through the fantasy playoffs. Gay’s next five matchups are against the Titans, Bengals, Steelers, Falcons and Raiders, who, entering Week 12, all ranked top 15 in most fantasy points allowed to kickers. Gay went into Week 12 averaging 9.6 fantasy points per game, sixth among kickers.

Jake Moody (SF): 35% rostered

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

Analysis: The 49ers’ explosive offense gives Moody a high weekly floor. San Francisco has produced 92 points over its last three games, and Moody has kicked five field goals and 11 extra points over that stretch. Moody is a better play for the long term than for this week. He has a Week 13 matchup against the Eagles, who were allowing just 6.0 fantasy points per game to kickers entering Week 12.

Will Lutz (DEN): 11% rostered

Next Opponents: @HOU, @LAC, @DET
True value: $1
Desperate need: $2
Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Lutz has been on a tear, with 11 field goals over his last three games. The Broncos’ offense has seemingly found its footing, reducing concerns about the team’s offensive struggles short-circuiting Lutz’s scoring potential. Lutz gets weatherproof Week 13 matchup against the Texans in Houston.

Chris Boswell (PIT): 16% rostered

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

Analysis: With an attractive home matchup against the Cardinals, Boswell is a nice streaming option this week. Over their last nine games, the Cardinals have given up an average of 28.2 points per game. Boswell is 21-of-22 on field goals and 15-of-15 on extra points this season. We can feel a little more confident in Boswell’s scoring potential after the Steelers produced 421 yards of offense in their first game since the firing of much-maligned offensive coordinator Matt Canada.
