Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Kicker

KICKERS

Written by Pat Fitzmaurice

Austin Seibert (WAS): 16% rostered

Next Opponents: @BAL, CAR, CHI
True value: $2
Desperate Need: $3
Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Climb aboard the Washington bandwagon. The Commanders’ offense is simultaneously fun and dangerous. Rookie QB Jayden Daniels and friends dropped 34 points and 434 yards on a good Browns defense Sunday. Seibert kicked two field goals and four extra points Sunday. In four games with the Commanders, Seibert is 12-of-12 on FGs and 13-of-13 on PATs. There’s no need to fear a Week 6 matchup against the Ravens, who just gave up 38 points to the Bengals.

Jake Elliott (PHI): 43% rostered

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

Analysis: After averaging 9.2 fantasy points per game in 2023 and finishing sixth in kicker scoring, the Eagles’ Jake Elliott is averaging 5.0 fantasy points per game this season. But the Eagle’ offense has been hamstrung in recent weeks (no pun intended) by injuries to WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion). Brown and Smith should be good to go for a Week 6 home date against the Browns, so Elliott should have scoring opportunities.

Chris Boswell (PIT): 48% rostered

Next Opponents: @LV, NYJ, NYG
True value: $1
Desperate Need: $2
Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Boswell ranked No. 2 among kickers in fantasy scoring going into his Sunday-night game against the Cowboys. He’s banged home 11-of-12 field goals, including five from 50+ yards. Boswell gets a favorable Week 6 matchup against the Raiders in Las Vegas.

Blake Grupe (NO): 11% rostered

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

Analysis: Grupe was averaging 10.8 fantasy points per game and had made 8-of-8 field goals going into his Monday-night game against the Chiefs. He’ll be kicking at home indoors the next two weeks, then in warm Los Angeles in Week 8.

Cairo Santos (CHI): 27% rostered

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

Analysis: The Bears had their best offensive performance of the season Sunday in Chicago, putting up 36 points against the Panthers. Now, Chicago gets a favorable home matchup against a Jacksonville defense that can be torched through the air. Through the first four weeks of the season, the Jaguars had given up the sixth-most fantasy points to kickers.
