Week 11 was not my buddy. It was my worst streaming week since Week 2. The one man I used to be sort 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, should you’re right here it’s most likely since you had been rostering Younghoe Koo, Tyler Bass, or Evan McPherson. I’m right here to your bye-pocalypse woes. This week’s theme is Divisional Matchups and we’re beginning by returning to the one nicely with water from final week.
Streams
Wil Lutz – Denver Broncos (9% rostered)
Rookie Bo Nix has been a nice shock for Broncos followers this season (supply: me, a Broncos fan). The Denver offense seemed 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 excellent matchup for fantasy kickers via 11 weeks. They’ve allowed double-digit performances in each week however two.
Wil Lutz’s area objective makes an attempt have fallen off the final couple of weeks because the offense begins to hum however the Broncos try virtually double the quantity of area objectives in away video games. They’ll be inside they usually’re Vegas favorites.
Washington Commanders Kicker – (Gonzalez 0% rostered; Seibert 32% rostered)
I’ve been checking all day for some sort of replace on Austin Seibert’s availability this week so naturally as quickly as that is printed we’ll get mentioned replace. Regardless, whoever (whomever? I by no means know.) is kicking for the Commanders on Sunday is an efficient streaming choice.
I’m an enormous 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 area 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 anticipate the offense to come back out sizzling trying to get again into the win column.
Joey Slye – New England Patriots (1% rostered)
Adam Devine mentioned it finest when he mentioned “Let’s get bizarre!” All offseason I joked with my house 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 choice 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 area objectives of their final three video games. They’re taking part in outdoors, they aren’t favorites and their implied level complete is low. It’s a bet, however not the type it’s a must to name the hotline for, and one I believe pays off.
Fades
Justin Tucker – Baltimore Ravens
Justin Tucker has taken a step again this season. You can see indicators of it on the finish of final 12 months nevertheless it’s not possible 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 obtained 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 are able to 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 would harm to maneuver on from him. Your folks may chortle 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 pictures. 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 going through an offense that’s extremely increase or bust.
Welcome to bye-mageddon, might the chances be ever in our favor.
