TennisMenace 156 Posted November 28, 2015 I know this may be a boring topic, but these guys count too. Leave out The top 3 kickers from Patriots, Seahawks, and Panthers. Give me your top 3-5 kickers in order (omitting the above named 3) you would like to have ROS, weeks 13-16. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJDMO 5 Posted November 28, 2015 Agree it's not an exciting topic but with potential of 10+ points from this position, it's worth talking about. I like Catanzaro because off the high powers offense, but it's hard to know if he's going to get enough FGs or if Ariz will just score TDs. I recently looked at stats for red zone TD percentage. STL does the best job of holding opponents to FGs and that coincides with them giving up the 2nd most pts to kickers. I picked up Nugent this week to test my theory. In my league short FGs aren't worth as much as long ones, but they are more than 1 pt PATs. Top 5 ROS for kickers (based on pts given up) are NO, KC, GB, TB and SD. So that logic would say grab Santos, Crosby, Barth, or Lambo. Obviously okay to pass on Forbath in NO as he has been bad. Seattle is #6 so Hauschka is probably best bet of all Ks but as you mention, he's not going to be available. I also like McManus in Denver since he kicks at altitude and the team won't be scoring a lot of TDs no matter who is playing QB. Although his SOS is #26 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wussfacekiller 9 Posted November 28, 2015 Dropped mcmanus for gano before the game thursday on a crazy whim. Lovin it. Riding catman in my big money league and jos brown in the freebie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrokh 568 Posted November 28, 2015 Kickers are more dependant on game flow than any position, I think your better off streaming than sticking with one above average guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FeelingMN 273 Posted November 28, 2015 I picked up Catanzaro after someone dropped him for the ARI bye. He's been pretty solid all year having scored at least 7 points in each game I think. Good offense, with a good defense, so he should have plenty of opportunities. Plus, he only has two outdoor games the rest of the year. Tomorrow @SF and week 15 @PHI. The rest will be in domes which might offer a little bit of an advantage as it gets colder these last few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giraldi02 470 Posted November 28, 2015 Look at red zone statistics for both the offense and their opposing defense if you're streaming kickers. A team that has several opportunities inside the opponents red zone but isn't scoring touchdowns is usually indicative of a successful fantasy kicker. Likewise, if a defense is bending but not breaking inside their red zone, they might force more FGA. Catanzaro could be a solid option this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted November 28, 2015 Josh Brown is usually pretty solid because Gmen don't have much of a rushing game and thus bog down a bit in the red zone. They seem to score more tds when outside of 5 or 10 yd line, than tds within 5 yds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted November 28, 2015 I am probably one of the guys who dropped Catanzaro due to the bye who didn't want to drop him. I was unable to get him back. I picked up Blair Walsh and he almost cost me a game with 1 friggin point. I now have Crosby but I don't like cold weather guys in December. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StrikeForce 11 Posted November 28, 2015 Josh Brown is usually pretty solid because Gmen don't have much of a rushing game and thus bog down a bit in the red zone. They seem to score more tds when outside of 5 or 10 yd line, than tds within 5 yds. He's the #2 fantasy kicker, behind Gostkowski. I picked him up several weeks ago, and he's been pretty good, with the exception of when they played the Eagles and only scored 1 TD. That cost me a game. I lost by 0.9. That whole thing was Eli's fault though. He kept turning the ball over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted November 28, 2015 Yeah, I was all over Brown this past week coming off of a bye (thus dropped) but someone beat me to it off of waivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted November 28, 2015 Meyers from the Jags deserves a look. He has scored 11, 11, & 13 points the last three. Jags can't seem to score a rushing TD, but have an offense good enough this year to move the ball and be competitive. Their schedule week's 12-16 is SD, @TN, Indy, Atl, and @NO. Not bad.

rrmcguire 36 Posted November 28, 2015 I had Myers but dropped him as someone in our league dropped Catanzaro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted November 28, 2015 I like Prater too. Lions offense is improved, and he kicks in a dome from here on out...GB, @Stl, @NO, & SF in weeks 13-16. In addition, he has a big leg and hasn't missed a FG all year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted November 29, 2015 Yeah, I noticed Prater too. I also have noticed Barth. I'm not sure either is a better choice than my Crosby but like I said, I prefer warm weather or dome kickers than cold outdoor stadiums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robb 71 Posted December 1, 2015 When looking at ROS, I would like to utilize SOS for kickers. maybe I shouldn't be. I have been using this site's SOS. But, is there a better site for Kickers that I should be using? Where does one find this "Red Zone" (TD) data I see referenced a few times above? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Law 220 Posted December 1, 2015 Kickers are more dependant on game flow than any position, I think your better off streaming than sticking with one above average guy Kickers? We talking about kickers!??! Well, ok. But I disagree about the about comment about streaming. Kickers are far too variable. Just pick a guy and go with. Don't over think it. Don't change your Kicker every week because, invariably, you'll be wrong. That said, look for things like a kicker with a good offense that maybe struggles to run in tight. Dome kickers are always good too. Playing average DEFs is good too. If the D is too good, might not score much. If they're too weak, might just score TDs all day. I like Gostkowski (obviously), Gano, and Cantanzaro best. Then maybe McManus, Santos, J Brown, Barth, and Hauschka. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrokh 568 Posted December 1, 2015 I've done well streaming kickers but to each their own. I picked up gano a few weeks ago so rolling with him while he is hot. Stream when conditions change like Justin Tucker losing flacco et al Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted December 1, 2015 I've had McManus the whole year but the Jax K is very intriguing with his schedule. I like McManus but weather might start playing a factor in Denver during playoff weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJDMO 5 Posted December 1, 2015 Where does one find this "Red Zone" (TD) data I see referenced a few times above? TD% for offenses - explains why JAX and NYG kickers can be valuable https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/red-zone-scoring-pct TD% for defenses - top 5 are good defenses that give up more FGs than TDs. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-red-zone-scoring-pct But again it's so variable. Agree that home/road, weather, dome, poor between tackles run game, personnel/injuries all factor into it. I went with Nugent this week because St. Louis gives up a lot of field goals, but it was counteracted by the fact that Cincinnati is a high touchdown red zone offense. My options are pick up Catanzaro and ride it out or go with a hot kicker like Myers from Jax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rrmcguire 36 Posted December 1, 2015 in the same boat with Catanazaro vs. Meyers.....Catanzaro seems like the safe bet, but you can cancel weather out with both of them and Jax seems like they always get stopped and have field goal tries available Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted December 2, 2015 I just grabbed Myers. I'm a fan of Barth, TB has been near the top of the league in FGAs all year but Myers point streak is too hard to igoire, they have been RB2 numbers, and he has a great closing schedule.
