Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Kicker

KICKERS

Written by Pat Fitzmaurice

Chris Boswell (PIT): 36% rostered

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

Analysis: The Boz has been on a tear lately. He’s 11-of-11 on field goals and 8-of-8 on extra points over his last three games, averaging 15.0 fantasy points per game over that stretch. With Pittsburgh’s defense among the best in the league, the Steelers sometimes seem content to play conservatively on offense and settle for field goals.

Jake Bates (DET): 36% rostered

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

Analysis: If there’s such a thing as a high-floor, low-ceiling kicker, Bates is it. He has a high floor because he’s tied to Detroit’s prolific offense and has booted 30 extra points in eight games. Bates’ ceiling is low because Lions head coach Dan Campbell is hyper-aggressive about going for it on fourth down, and because the Lions have been excellent at finishing off drives with touchdowns. Bates has attempted only 12 field goals this season — and has made all of them. Bates just kicked outdoors for the first time all season, hitting a 27-yard field goal and three extra points in rainy, windy conditions in Green Bay. He won’t kick outdoors again until the Lions visit the Bears in Week 16.

Jason Sanders (MIA): 32% rostered

Next Opponents: @LAR, LV, NE
True value: $1
Desperate Need: $1
Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: The return of QB Tua Tagovailoa from a concussion has reinvigorated the Miami offense, which has produced 27 points in each of Tua’s first two games back. Sanders was 2-of-2 on field goals and 3-of-3 on extra points in both of those games. He gets an indoor matchup against the Rams in L.A. this week, followed by a Week 11 matchup against the Raiders, who were giving up 12.3 fantasy points per game to kickers entering Week 9.

Will Reichard (MIN): 26% rostered

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

Analysis: Reichard finally missed a kick after starting the season 14-of-14 on field goals and 20-of-20 on extra points. Then, after an errant 53-yarder in the second quarter of Sunday night’s game against the Colts, he donked a 31-yard chip shot off the upright a short time later. Not a good night for Mr. Reichard. But the Minnesota kicker gets a friendly Week 10 matchup against the Jaguars, who have given up 28 or more points in four of their last five games.
