The fantasy football Week 10 schedule is here and owners are kicking themselves to find kickers this week, as Adam Vinatieri, Nick Novak and Stephen Gostowski are on bye weeks and that makes Brandon McManus, Matt Prater, Matt Bryant, Mason Crosby and Caleb Sturgis solid pickups for owners, as those players have the chance to put up points.
Kickers are one of the most undervalued positions in fantasy and they often can be the difference between wins and losses. For example, Novak owners have been given some strong play this year, but after putting up 3.00 points and 0.00 points in Yahoo over the past two weeks, some teams are scuffling. Those types of performances can be roster killers and with those big names out, it's time to find some solid replacements.
McManus comes in after the Broncos got rid of Matt Prater and while he missed his once chance against the Patriots, he has a solid matchup this week. The Broncos play against the Raiders and that could mean touchdowns and that means some extra points. McManus is a solid kicker and he should be a safe bet for owners this week who are looking for points. This season McManus has gone 3-3 from 0-29 yards and he has missed both of his 50 yard attempts, bit he has all 31 kicks made after the Broncos score and he is 2 for 3 from 40 yards to 49 yards.
Mason Crosby is another great option and some leagues may have him on the market since the Packers had a bye recently. Lusty season Crosby went 33-of-37 and this year he has gone 11 of 12 and has been very solid for the Pack. He has made all four field goals from 40 yards and beyond and he has missed just one from 0-39 yards this season. The Packers score and that means points and Crosby could be a great option for owners.
Matt Bryant also could be available after the Falcons were on a bye and they have a great matchup. The team is playing against the Buccaneers and that could means points. Bryant has six attempts from 50 yards and that is promising for fantasy owners and he has made four of those. He has missed two of 10 attempts this season and has gone 24 for 24 on extra points and this week he could be a solid pickup.
