Kickers for NFL Week 4 - Fanduel

Fanduel Plays of the Week: Kickers

Big Vin will help you win.

Lets face it folks, most fantasy football fanatics look at kickers and think I'll just pick one and that'll be that. When it comes to season long leagues that strategy works fine. But with weekly leagues like Fanduel the kicker can become a make or break position that can mean a difference of hundreds of dollars.

Kicker strategy is less about a weekly matchup and more about the nature of the teams offense. High powered offenses score more points. Use this philosophy when picking a kicker for your weekly Fanduel team.

Adam Vinatieri - $5,000
This is another example of a matchup play as the Colts face the crap-tastic Jags. Indy is good enough to earn a double digit lead and I suspect that Vinatieri will be a big part of it.

Projections: 3 FG and 3 XP.

Shaun Suisham - $5,000
Pittsburgh is not going to be a playoff team this year, but they will be decent enough to make Suisham a solid start most weeks especially as the Steelers falter frequently in the red zone.

Projections:  4 FG and 1 XP.

Matt Prater - $4,500
I must really enjoy breaking my own rules, because here's another one. But the Broncos have been destroying it on offense and Prater has been a consistent double digit performer for his owners. The streak will continue.

Projections: 3 FG and 4 XP.

Other Solid Options: Nick Novak, Nick Folk and Robbie Gould are all good options at $5,000.
