Kickers

Brandon McManus (5,000): McManus and the Broncos come off their bye as they host the Packers.  Any time he’s kicking at altitude, McManus is a great play since he could be lined up for some long-range bonuses.  He is a solid 16-for-17 on field goals this season and perfect on his 13 extra points.

Mason Crosby (5,000): Crosby and the Packers will square off with McManus in Denver making him a good option as well.  He is 10-for-11 on field goals this season and perfect on 18 extra points.  The only downside to Crosby is that his offense is so good that he ends up kicking more extra points than field goals.

Josh Brown (4,700): Brown isn’t in Denver, but he is indoors as he and the Giants visit the Big Easy to take on the Saints.  Brown is a perfect 15-for-15 on field goals on the year, and has double-digit FanDuel points in three of his last five games.

Chris Boswell (4,500): A cheap play at kicker that I’ve been using successfully is Steelers’ kicker Chris Boswell. He is 7-for-7 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra points.  Look for him to have a good week against Cincinnati as Big Ben returns this week for the Steelers.

Week 7 Picks: Stephen Gostkowksi, Justin Tucker, Blair Walsh, Chris Boswell
