Week 11 was not my pal. 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 need to dwell on unhealthy performances, so I received’t!
There are a handful of groups on bye this week, in the event you’re right here it’s in all probability 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 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 awesome matchup for fantasy kickers by means of 11 weeks. They’ve allowed double-digit performances in each week however two.
Wil Lutz’s discipline objective makes an attempt have fallen off the final couple of weeks because the offense begins to hum however the Broncos are trying nearly double the quantity of discipline targets 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 stated replace. Regardless, whoever (whomever? I by no means know.) is kicking for the Commanders on Sunday is an effective 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 continues to be averaging 2.9 discipline 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 return out sizzling seeking to get again into the win column.
Joey Slye – New England Patriots (1% rostered)
Adam Devine stated it greatest 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 need to beat them, I need to make it easier to all win. So it’s with sincerity that I say thicc kicker Joey Slye is an effective, 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 discipline targets of their final three video games. They’re enjoying outdoors, they aren’t favorites and their implied level whole is low. It’s a raffle, however not the sort you must 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 can see indicators of it on the finish of final yr nevertheless it’s inconceivable 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 following Justin Tucker. We will have that dialog in a number of extra years. Proper now we have now 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 need 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’s going to harm to maneuver on from him. Your pals may chuckle at you, they may dash to the waiver wire to get a bid on him. Let 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.
