Is your fantasy football kicker going into a bye week? Or are you one of the many people who roster a different kicker each week based on matchups? Then you’re in luck. Each week of the 2023 NFL season, BetFTW is bringing you a ranking of top kicker streamers to hopefully give you that edge you need in your next matchup. Kickers aren’t the most important position in a fantasy lineup, but they can absolutely make or break a game. So, you want to make sure you have a good one. Here’s a look at the top options on waiver wires this week.
- Chris Boswell, Pittsburgh Steelers (vs. Arizona Cardinals)
- Wil Lutz, Denver Broncos (at Houston Texans)
- Younghoe Koo, Atlanta Falcons (at New York Jets)
- Riley Patterson, Detroit Lions (at New Orleans Saints)
- Jake Moody, San Francisco 49ers (at Philadelphia Eagles)
Pittsburgh’s offense took a step last week without Matt Canada, leading to 10 fantasy points for Boswell, and it has a chance to take another step against a bad Cardinals defense.
Denver’s positive trajectory has Lutz averaging double-digit fantasy points over the last three weeks, and I fully expect that to continue against a Houston team that will force the Broncos to keep up.
A team that likes to run but stinks at passing against a defense that stops the pass but not the run? Sounds like the recipe for a ton of deep drives that end in plus territory. Koo could be a busy man.
The Lions defense has struggled but its offense has still been really solid, and Patterson has a good opportunity to bounce back from a couple down weeks against a Saints defense that has struggled.
This is going to be a hard-fought game between two really good teams. The Eagles’ defense is vulnerable but prideful. I expect to see a lot of bending but not much breaking. Moody wins.
