3. Alex Henery-Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles up-tempo offense under Nick Foles has been finding the end zone pretty often leaving just point afters for Henery to clean up. He’s attempted just five FG’s in the last five games while kicking 16 extra points. He’s 18/23 on the season but hasn’t hit a 50+ yarder with his longest coming week 2-a 48 yard make against the Chargers.

Even without a lot of attempts, he does have a favorable enough schedule that he’s still worth a look. This week he faces the Lions at home who allow the second-most fantasy points to opposing kickers. Next week he heads to the Metrodome against the Vikings who allowe the sixth most fantasy points to opposing kickers. In the Eagles home finale week 16 he faces the Bears who allow the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers and finishes the season at Dallas which is a good kicking environment as well. If you want good matchups, Henery’s are definitely among the best remaining.
