Good morning, evening, day, dawn, dusk, and so forth and so on to all of you fantasy football freaks. Today we’ll take a look at the kicker landscape going into Week 3 of the season. Your kicking leaders so far are Brandon Aubrey, who has been absolutely great, hitting all of his field goals, including a 64-yarder to send their game against the Giants into overtime. He then hit a 46-yard chip shot for the game winner. Right now he is neck and neck with Colts kicker Spencer Shrader, who has also made all his kicks, but unlike Aubrey, he hasn’t tried anything over 50 yards. The nature of the Colts offense so far has helped the team move the ball, but getting into the end zone hasn’t been as efficient.
Lions at Ravens (51.5)
Cowboys at Bears (50.5)
Dolphins at Bills (49.5)
Highest implied individual team totals
Buffalo Bills (31)
Baltimore Ravens (28.5)
Chicago Bears (26)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (25.5)
Green Bay Packers (25.5)
Saints at Seahawks (41.5)
Packers at Browns (42.5)
Bengals at Vikings (42.5)
Lowest implied individual team totals
Cleveland Browns (17)
New Orleans Saints (17.3)
Miami Dolphins (18.5)
New York Jets (19)
Dolphins at Bills (-12.5)
Packers (-8.5) at Browns
Saints at Seahawks (-7)
Jets at Buccaneers (-6.5)
So far the Dolphins have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to kickers, while Prater has been flawless through two games. The Bills should get a lead in this one, giving little reason to push the offense on 4th downs instead of kicking field goals.
Will Reichard vs. Bengals
Reichard gets another home dome game and this time two backup quarterbacks will be slinging the rock. I expect some bad football, but also see field goals being a b ig part of this game. Reichard has hit all his field goals, including two 50+ yarders.
