Start: Greg Zuerlein, Los Angeles Rams
@ Oakland Raiders
I want my kicker to be on a team with an effective offensive attack. The more opportunities for field goal and extra point tries the better. Greg Zuerlein has the pleasure of kicking for the Los Angeles Rams and their explosive offense.
Jared Goff and company have no problem moving the football. The Oakland Raiders absolutely don’t have enough defensive talent to slow down the Rams attack.
Zuerlein will have his chances and is always a candidate to connect from deep. This is one of the kickers who could put up some serious fantasy points this week.
Sit: Mason Crosby, Green Bay Packers
vs. Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears are going to come out charged against the Green Bay Packers. They have a new sense of confidence thanks to the late addition of Khalil Mack. This defense features a lot of speed and playmakers.
Aaron Rodgers may be the best quarterback in the league, but it’s going to be tough going on Sunday night.
Mason Crosby may not get as many opportunities as one my expect. The Bears defense has a chance to limit the Packers offensive attack enough to hurt Crosby’s fantasy production.
