We’re onto Week 7 of fantasy football with the Cowboys and Bears on a bye this week. That means some managers are looking for a streaming kicker to step into the starting role, or for some a better option long term.
We’ve got you covered on both fronts.
Below are three kickers who have good matchups this week as a streaming option, and could become regular starters as the season progresses.
Myers has a strong matchup this week against the Falcons in Atlanta, where three kickers have scored 12 or more points on them this season. That’s good news for Myers, who has scored an average of just 6 points per game over his last four outings.
A big part of that struggle is due to him missing four attempts over the last four weeks, but he’s been reliable throughout his career. In a must-win game for the struggling Seahawks facing off against a Falcons team that kickers have made 100% of their field goal attempts against, I expect Myers to have a bounce-back game
This week, Denver gets a tasty matchup against a Saints defense that gives up the most yards per game in the NFL (395.8) but is stingy in the red zone, allowing a TD only 38.1% of the time, second-best in the NFL. That means drives ending in field goal attempts.
In a dome setting (the game is in New Orleans), I like Lutz to have a strong performance, possibly above his average of 9.2 points per game, the eighth-highest in fantasy.
