Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Kicker

KICKERS

Cade York (CIN): 5% rostered

  • Next Opponents: DEN, @PIT
  • True value: $1
  • Desperate Need: $2
  • Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: York has been filling in for the injured Evan McPherson and has converted 4-of-5 field goals and 10-of-11 extra points in three games with the Bengals. You can do worse than give your fantasy team a kicker tied to a high-powered Cincinnati offense that has averaged 32.6 points over its last seven games.

Will Reichard (MIN): 8% rostered

  • Next Opponents: GB, @DET
  • True value: $1
  • Desperate Need: $2
  • Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: It’s odd that Reichard is rostered in so few leagues when he’s been so effective. After going 2-of-2 on field goals and 3-of-3 on extra points Sunday in Seattle, Reichard is averaging 9.7 fantasy points a game. This is the time of year when we appreciate indoor kickers, and Reichard will be kicking in the domed confines of U.S. Bank Stadium when the Vikings host the Packers this weekend.

Will Lutz (DEN): 17% rostered

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

Analysis: Lutz was money in Week 16, drilling field goals of 41 and 55 yards, and going 3-of-3 on extra points. Lutz entered Week 16 tied for fifth in fantasy scoring among kickers. He’s scored at least eight fantasy points in each of his last five games.

Matt Gay (IND): 5% rostered

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

Analysis: Gay is averaging a respectable 8.1 fantasy points per game and gets an appealing Week 17 matchup against the hapless Giants, who have given up 83 points over their last three games. The reliable Gay has made 25-of-29 field goals and 28-of-28 extra points this season.
