Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

KICKERS

Written by Pat Fitzmaurice

Will Lutz (DEN): 22% rostered

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

Analysis: Lutz has been a reliable source of fantasy points over the last two months, averaging 10.4 points over his last seven games. He’s been money on field goal attempts this year, knocking home 26-of-28. Lutz gets a weatherproof Week 15 matchup against the Lions in the domed environs of Detroit’s Ford Field.

Jake Moody (SF): 48% rostered

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

Analysis: Moody is an interesting case — a high-floor, low-ceiling kicker whose fantasy scoring is limited by the potency of his offense. Simply put, the 49ers are so efficient at scoring touchdowns that it limits Moody’s field goal potential. The rookie kicker has booted an NFL-high 47 extra points, but he’s just 17-of-20 on field goals through 13 games. Still, a kicker with a sturdy floor isn’t a bad thing, and the 49ers figure to do plenty of scoring this week in a matchup against the Cardinals, the doormats of the NFC West.

Matt Gay (IND): 43% rostered

• Next Opponents: PIT, @ATL, LV
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Gay had a rough Week 14, missing his only two kicks (one FG attempt, one PAT attempt), but he’s been reliable otherwise. Gay entered Week 14 ranked fourth among kickers in fantasy scoring at 9.8 points per game, converting 23-of-28 field goals and 29-of-30 extra points.

Blake Grupe (NO): 7% rostered

• Next Opponents: NYG, @LAR, @TB
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Grupe has been erratic at times this season, and he duck-hooked a 29-yard FG attempt wide left Sunday against the Panthers. But Grupe also entered Week 14 tied for sixth in fantasy scoring among kickers, averaging 9.3 points per game. And in this season of frequently inclement weather, Grupe gets to kick in a dome this week at home against the Giants, who are allowing 24.3 points per game.
