Okay, so Week 6 was a doozy. Chase McLaughlin delivered for us once more, ending above common with 9 fantasy factors. Matt Homosexual was serviceable with Joe Flacco on the helm. Homosexual completed with a good 8 factors, however that’s nothing to write down residence about. Cairo Santos fell flat, ending with 5 fantasy factors and lacking his solely area objective try of the sport.
I light Cameron Dicker and Blake Grupe final week and each guys completed with double-digit fantasy performances. Daniel Carlson was the right name although. So we had a 50-50 week.
An replace on accidents earlier than we leap into the streams and fades of the week: Matt Prater landed on IR on Tuesday so it is going to be Chad Ryland in Arizona for the foreseeable future. The 49ers misplaced Jake Moody to an ankle harm in Week 5 whereas he was making an attempt to make a sort out. San Fransisco introduced in Matthew Wright for kicking duties. He had an amazing Week 6. After which he tried a sort out on a kickoff and injured his shoulder. His availability for the week is in query. The 49ers signed former Inexperienced Bay kicker and brother to Las Vegas kicker, Anders Carlson for safety if Wright can’t go. The excellent news is that Moody is out of his strolling boot.
Week 5 we swam, Week 6 we treaded water, Week 7 we’re going to get that motor going once more. Let’s dive in.
Streams
Jason Myers – Seattle Seahawks (20% rostered)
The Seahawks head to Atlanta for a Week 7 matchup. Jason Myers has tried a number of area targets in 4 of their six video games up to now this yr. He has but to complete as a top-12 kicker however he has scored double-digit fantasy factors in half of Seattle’s video games this season.
Atlanta is permitting 2.8 area objective makes an attempt to opposing groups and has allowed 9 or extra fantasy factors in 4 of their six contests.
This matchup carries the very best whole implied factors for Week 7 at 51.5. Seattle isn’t the favourite however they’re solely 2.5-point underdogs and the kickers gained’t need to compete with the climate.
Joshua Karty – Los Angeles Rams (1% rostered)
The Rams are coming off their bye week and it appears like we is likely to be getting Cooper Kupp again before later. That’s not kicker-related, however it’s thrilling. As for the rationale you’re right here, Josh Karty has tried a number of area targets in three of their 5 contests this season. The Rams have a top-5 implied level whole for the week, they’re favorites and so they’re inside.
Extra importantly, they face a Las Vegas workforce that has given up 12 or extra fantasy factors to the kicker place in each recreation however one this season.
Cameron Dicker – Los Angeles Chargers (17% rostered)
Let this be a reminder to at all times verify the waiver wire for kickers that have been dropped throughout their bye weeks. (I’m taking a look at you, Brandon Aubrey. Hey! Crazier issues have occurred.) Cameron Dicker is averaging a number of area objective makes an attempt per recreation, solely lacking that mark in Week 3 towards Pittsburgh.
Like Josh Karty and the Rams, Dicker and the Chargers are taking part in inside and head into the matchup as favorites.
Bonus Streams
Austin Seibert – Washington Commanders (26% rostered)
Will Reichard – Minnesota Vikings (3% rostered)
Cam Little – Jacksonville Jaguars (3% rostered)
Fades
Ka’imi Fairbairn – Houston Texans
This doesn’t imply you could drop Ka’imi Fairbairn. It simply means to decrease your expectations for the week. Fairbairn has had 4 top-10 performances this yr. I anticipate he could have a number of extra. Nevertheless, this week Houston is headed to Inexperienced Bay. They’re down their finest playmaker in Nico Collins and Inexperienced Bay’s protection has been good up to now this yr.
The Packers have allowed the third-fewest factors to the kicker place.
Jake Bates – Detroit Lions
I take no pleasure in placing Jake Bates on the fade checklist one week after he had the breakout I had at all times dreamed of for him. If you happen to comply with me on Twitter (or X however I’m not calling it that) you understand I’ve been firmly on the Bates Prepare since earlier than he was a Lion.
Sadly, Detroit will get the still-undefeated Vikings this week. The Vikings are permitting the fewest factors to the fantasy kicker place within the NFL. They’ve solely given up greater than 5 fantasy factors one time this season, in Week 1.
From a vibes standpoint, the best way Dan Campbell has talked about this recreation within the week main as much as it doesn’t sound like a person who’s going to accept area targets. We’re nicely used to Campbell going for it on 4th downs, I feel we see that this week.
Greg Zuerlein – New York Jets
Ready all day for Sunday Evening. Jets versus Steelers. Oh, boy. The Jets simply added Davante Adams as some form of bandaid to the 2-4 begin to the season. In the meantime, Mike Tomlin is toying with beginning Russell Wilson over Justin Fields although the Steelers are 4-2. Make it make sense.
Regardless, Greg Zuerlein has not been good this season. He’s made simply 66.7% of his area objective makes an attempt. He’s missed his solely try from 50+ and is 1-of-3 from 40+. Pittsburgh has allowed the 4th fewest factors to the kicker place this season.
Severely, go verify for Brandon Aubrey in your waiver wires with him on bye this week. You may simply be fortunate sufficient to play in a league with somebody who refuses to carry on to multiple kicker. Which is completely affordable, except, after all, that kicker is Brandon Aubrey.
