Week 1 Fantasy Football Recap for Kickers: Matt Bryant, Robbie Gould, Josh Brown, Cody Parkey

Sep 15, 2015 04:55 PM EDT

The five best:

1. Brandon McManus (Denver Broncos): 17.00 Fantasy Points: McManus has not missed a beat since becoming the Broncos kicker and will continue to put up huge points if Peyton cannot finish off drives.

2. Josh Brown (New York Giants): 16.00 Fantasy Points: Brown was in play for most of the night as Manning could not get in the end zone. The Giants should struggle often this season making Brown a quality option.

3. Matt Bryant (Atlanta Falcons): 14.00 Fantasy Points: Bryant continues his streak of greatness by putting up some solid numbers in his first game.

4. Robbie Gould (Chicago Bears): 13.00 Fantasy Points: Jay Cutler often struggles in the red zone so Gould is a solid option.  

5. Zach Hocker (New Orleans Saints): 13.00 Fantasy Points: The new Saints kicker did a fantastic job for fantasy owners last weekend. With the Saints offense looking slow now is the perfect time to invest in Hocker.

The five worst:

1.  Stephen Gostkowski (New England Patriots): 4.00 Fantasy Points: Just the value of the pick, makes this a terrible day for Gostkowski. He is often the first kicker taken in drafts and is picked rounds ahead of other kickers.

2. Sebastian Janikowski (Oakland Raiders): 1.00 Fantasy Points: The Raiders may not have any redeeming qualities this year.

3. Cody Parkey (Philadelphia Eagles): 6.00 Fantasy Points: Parkey shocked the fantasy world with his low scoring day.

4. Matt Prater (Detroit Lions): 4.00 Fantasy Points: Prater continued play to the will of the Lions offense that looked surprisingly off.

5. Blair Walsh (Minnesota Vikings): 3.00 Fantasy Points: Walsh was named as one of the kickers to stay away from in 2015, now we see why.
