Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Kicker

KICKERS

Written by Pat Fitzmaurice

Austin Seibert (WAS): 2% rostered

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

Analysis: The Washington offense is absolutely humming with rookie QB Jayden Daniels at the controls, giving Seibert a bevy of scoring opportunities. Since replacing Cade York as the Commanders’ kicker in Week 2, Seibert has converted 10-of-10 field goals and 9-of-9 extra points. If you neglected to draft Daniels, Brian Robinson Jr. or Terry McLaurin, here’s your chance to get in on the fun with the Commanders.

Jason Myers (SEA): 11% rostered

  • Next Opponents: NYG, SF, @ATL
  • True value: $1
  • Desperate Need: $1
  • Budget-minded: $-

Analysis: The Seattle offense has been consistent, putting up at least 23 points in each of its first three games heading into a Monday-night matchup against the Dolphins in Week 4. Myers is averaging 10 fantasy points per game, having made 6-of-7 field goals and 7-of-7 extra points. He’s a solid streaming option this week with a home game against the Giants.

Cairo Santos (CHI): 19% rostered

  • Next Opponents: CAR, JAX, BYE
  • True value: $1
  • Desperate Need: $1
  • Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Santos gets an attractive Week 5 matchup against the Panthers. Carolina had given up the second-most fantasy points to kickers through the first three weeks of the season, then yielded two field goals and four extra points to Cincinnati’s Evan McPherson in Week 4. Santos has hit 6-of-7 field goals and 6-of-6 extra points this year.

Chris Boswell (PIT): 34% rostered

  • Next Opponents: DAL, @LV, NYJ
  • True value: $1
  • Desperate Need: $1
  • Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: The Steelers’ offense hasn’t committed many turnovers but hasn’t scored a lot of touchdowns either. That’s a pretty good recipe for a kicker. Boswell has already booted 11 field goals and entered Week 4 trailing only the Cowboys’ Brandon Aubrey in fantasy scoring among kickers. Matchups against Dallas and Las Vegas the next two weeks look agreeable.

Chase McLaughlin (TB): 5 rostered

  • Next Opponents: @ATL, @NO, BAL
  • True value: $1
  • Desperate Need: $1
  • Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: McLaughlin is a perfect 7-of-7 on field goals this season, although a missed extra point Sunday against the Eagles marred his perfect record for the season. Aside from a Week 3 hiccup against Denver, the Buccaneers’ offense has been clicking. McLaughlin will be kicking indoors the next two weeks with divisional road games against the Falcons and Saints.

Blake Grupe (NO): 17% rostered

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

Analysis: Grupe ranked sixth in fantasy scoring among kickers heading into Week 4. He’s made 8-of-8 field goals and 13-of-14 extra points. Grupe gets a Week 5 matchup against the Chiefs, who are giving up 10.3 fantasy points per game to kickers.
