Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Kicker

KICKERS

Written by Pat Fitzmaurice

Cairo Santos (CHI): 21% rostered

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

Analysis: One of the more accurate kickers in the league, Santos missed only three field goals during the 2023 season and has been perfect in 2024. He gets an indoor game against the Colts this week, followed by appealing home matchups against the Rams and Panthers.

Daniel Carlson (LV): 10% rostered

• Next Opponents: CAR, CLE, @DEN
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Carlson and the Raiders get a Week 2 home date against the Panthers, who have given up 73 points in their first two games. Enough said.

Jason Myers (SEA): 10% rostered

• Next Opponents: MIA, @DET, NYG
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Myers is already 5-of-5 on field goals this season. His upcoming schedule is attractive, with a Week 3 home game against the Tua-less Dolphins, a potential Week 4 shootout against the Lions indoors, and a Week 5 home game vs. the Giants.

Matt Prater (ARI): 7% rostered

• Next Opponents: DET, WSH, @SF
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: The Cardinals can score. They put up 28 points in a Week 1 loss to the Bills, then hung 41 points on the Rams in Week 2. Prater is thus far a perfect 4-of-4 on field goals and 7-of-7 on extra points. He’s at home for the next two weeks, with potential shootouts against Detroit and Washington.

Blake Grupe (NO): 6% rostered

• Next Opponents: PHI, @ATL, @KC
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Who’d have thought the Saints would have the NFL’s most high-powered offense over the first two weeks of the season? New Orleans dropped 47 points on Carolina in Week 1, then scored 44 against Dallas in Week 2. Needless to say, Grupe has been a busy man, converting 5-of-5 field goals and 10-of-11 extra points. Grupe gets a Week 3 home date against the Eagles in a game that opened with a Vegas total of 48.5 points, suggesting it will be a high-scoring affair.
