Week 11 was not my good friend. It was my worst streaming week since Week 2. The one man I used to be form of proper about was Wil Lutz who completed with 9 fantasy factors. I don’t wish to dwell on dangerous performances, so I received’t!
There are a handful of groups on bye this week, when you’re right here it’s in all probability since you have been rostering Younghoe Koo, Tyler Bass, or Evan McPherson. I’m right here in your bye-pocalypse woes. This week’s theme is Divisional Matchups and we’re beginning by returning to the one properly with water from final week.
Streams
Wil Lutz – Denver Broncos (9% rostered)
Rookie Bo Nix has been a pleasing shock for Broncos followers this season (supply: me, a Broncos fan). The Denver offense regarded deadly towards the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. In Week 12 they journey to Las Vegas to face their divisional rivals. The Raiders have been an incredible matchup for fantasy kickers by 11 weeks. They’ve allowed double-digit performances in each week however two.
Wil Lutz’s subject objective makes an attempt have fallen off the final couple of weeks because the offense begins to hum however the Broncos try nearly double the quantity of subject targets in away video games. They’ll be inside and so they’re Vegas favorites.
Washington Commanders Kicker – (Gonzalez 0% rostered; Seibert 32% rostered)
I’ve been checking all day for some form of replace on Austin Seibert’s availability this week so naturally as quickly as that is revealed we’ll get stated replace. Regardless, whoever (whomever? I by no means know.) is kicking for the Commanders on Sunday is an efficient streaming possibility.
I’m a giant believer that the offense, scheme, recreation script, and coach have extra to do with fantasy output than who the kicker is. On this case, Washington remains to be averaging 2.9 subject objective makes an attempt per recreation. Dallas has allowed double-digit fantasy performances in 4 of their final 5 video games.
The Commanders have dropped their final two video games, I count on the offense to come back out sizzling trying to get again into the win column.
Joey Slye – New England Patriots (1% rostered)
Adam Devine stated it finest when he stated “Let’s get bizarre!” All offseason I joked with my dwelling leaguemates that the reply at kicker was whoever received the Patriots kicking job. However I wish to beat them, I wish to make it easier to all win. So it’s with sincerity that I say thicc kicker Joey Slye is an efficient, tremendous low-rostered possibility this week.
Just like the Cowboys, the Dolphins have allowed double-digit fantasy video games to kickers in 4 of their final 5 video games. New England has tried a number of subject targets of their final three video games. They’re taking part in exterior, they aren’t favorites and their implied level complete is low. It’s a chance, however not the type it’s a must to name the hotline for, and one I feel pays off.
Fades
Justin Tucker – Baltimore Ravens
Justin Tucker has taken a step again this season. You would see indicators of it on the finish of final yr but it surely’s unattainable to disregard now. It’s a tough actuality to face. However I’m not fading him this week due to his accuracy points. I’m fading him this week as a result of the Chargers nonetheless haven’t allowed a double-digit recreation to an opposing kicker.
McPherson received shut in Week 11, however no cigar.
Brandon Aubrey – Dallas Cowboys
Fantasy soccer gamers have already began dubbing Brandon Aubrey as the subsequent Justin Tucker. We will have that dialog in a number of extra years. Proper now we’ve to fret about Week 12. Within the two video games that Cooper Rush has began for the Cowboys Aubrey has scored 7 and 6 fantasy factors. Not what you wish to see from the man who began the season with 5 straight top-12 kicker weeks.
Washington is permitting the third-fewest factors to the place. I do know it should harm to maneuver on from him. Your folks may snigger at you, they may dash to the waiver wire to get a bid on him. Let or not it’s another person’s headache.
Dustin Hopkins – Cleveland Browns
Dustin Hopkins had a brutal recreation in Week 11. He couldn’t hit the lengthy ones or the chip photographs. Like with Justin Tucker although, I’m not fading him due to his accuracy situation. The Steelers are permitting the 4th fewest factors to kickers. That’s a imply protection dealing with an offense that’s extremely growth or bust.
Welcome to bye-mageddon, might the percentages be ever in our favor.
