Fantasy Football K rankings, who should I add waivers to:

Austin Seibert (Commanders) was the most recommended kicker waiver wire pickup this week.

DOES NO ONE PLAY IN LEAGUES WITH FOOTBALLERS ANYMORE?! I just can’t figure this out. Austin Seibert is the best fantasy kicker not named Brandon Aubrey.

Double-digit fantasy points in four straight and five of six games overall. He should be used in any league that fields kickers and has more than one team. That’s significantly more than 46% of leagues.

Falling. Your. Kicker. Choose. High. Austin. Seibert. I’m begging you.

What is the best streaming option in Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings?

Jake Bates (Lions), Brandon McManus (Packers) and Will Reichard (Vikings) are three of the top streaming options at the position this week.

Jake Bates (DET) vs. Titans

After kicking the game-winner in Week 7, Jake Bates lost his heroic spirit and is back on track this week at home against Tennesee. The Lions are double-digit favorites in this game (10.5) and tied with Baltimore for the highest team score of the week, currently projected at 28 points.

Bates is still only listed by 34% of Yahoo execs, making him a solid streaming option on Sunday.

Brandon McManus (GB) @ Jaguars

Revenge game, anyone? I’m joking, of course, and I’m sorry to say this because someone tweeted to me a few years ago that it was impossible for a kicker to get revenge.

However, I would like to note that just last Thursday a certain Broncos kicker suffered a bust against his former team, scoring 17 fantasy points. Brandon McManus is back in the league and his new Packers team is a 4.5-point favorite at home against the Jags, with a respectable overall score of 27.25.

McManus is free in 92% of Yahoo leagues.

Will Reichard (MIN) @ Rams

Will Reichard is comfortably the K9 after seven weeks and has a nice matchup in LA this week. The 5-1 Vikings are road favorites by 3.5 points with a projected team count of 26. The rookie is 12-for-12 on field goals and 18-for-18 on extra points in 2024, including an impressive one Record of 4 for 1. 4 at 50+ yards.

Reichard is only on 10% of Yahoo lists before Week 8.
