Question on Kickers

Does anyone know where there's a list of teams that have allowed the most field goals this year? Trying to figure out a kicker to pick up off the ww for the playoffs.

Look at the Wednesday projections. It shows who gives up the most ff to each position

Thanks. That's helpful. Hadn't noticed that before. It would be cool if that could be sorted or if there was a ranked list somewhere but that will have to do for now..

Actually, it slipped my mind, but the Strength of Schedule tool does that. It calculates based on every week so far and you can set it to predict whatever weeks you want and the position you want it to evaluate. In fact, if you've programmed your scoring system into My Huddle, you can choose your league at the top and it will do exactly what you're looking for.

I love the SOS tool. I like that you can optionally set the range from which it calculates, so that you can set it based on what's happening NOW. I've been setting it starting week 5, the Miami Dolphins are a great argument for this.

 

I'm probably going to bench Roethlisberger this week, CLE has been absolute dead last against the pass over the past 8 weeks.

 

Another option you might have with kickers that I've tried when I'm feeling iffy is the under/over of games. When I see a high under/over with a low spread, history probably dictates a field goal or two.

 

Another thing is just looking at trends. I'm strongly tempted to pick up Rob Bironas and start him over Nick Novak and Seabass. If you look at what he's been doing and paying attention to Chris Johnson's revived game - it points in the right direction. We definitely know Bironas can hit the +50.

Me thinks you meant Cleveland is dead last vs. the run. I agree that this isn't a good week to play him if you have better options.

 

Also, I think getting an indoor or warm weather kicker is probably more important than the matchups. Kickers are just flat out inconsistent, but you don't want to be in a situation where your kicker is likely to miss or coaches are opting not to kick due to the conditions. I also tend to look for offenses that generally move the ball well but might struggle in the red zone.
