Last week I correctly predicted half of the top 10 week seven kickers with my one and two ranked kickers finishing two and three. Brett Maher, who I had ranked 10th, nailed a 63-yard field goal on Sunday night against the Eagles leading him to the K1 spot for the week. Justin Tucker was solid as always and Jason Myers managed to crack the top 10 as I predicted.

Matt Prater failed to follow up his stellar week six game with another top performance in week seven. Mike Nugent and Jake Elliott just didn’t get that many opportunities to kick field goals while Robbie Gould missed a FG in the 40-yard range as well as an extra point to prevent him from posting a high point total.

  1. Josh Lambo JAC vs NYJ
  2. Greg Zuerlein LAR vs CIN
  3. Wil Lutz NO vs AZ
  4. Jason Myers SEA vs ATL
  5. Robbie Gould SF vs CAR
  6. Matt Prater DET vs NYG
  7. Chase McLaughlin LAC vs CHI
  8. Stephen Hauschka BUF vs PHI
  9. Matt Gay TB vs TEN
  10. Mike Nugent NE vs CLE
  11. Chris Boswell PIT vs MIA
  12. Joey Slye CAR vs SF
  13. Cody Parkey TEN vs TB
  14. Ka’imi Fairbairn HOU vs OAK
  15. Mason Crosby GB vs KC
  16. Harrison Butker KC vs GB
  17. Adam Vinatieri IND vs DEN
  18. Zane Gonzalez AZ vs NO
  19. Eddy Piniero CHI vs LAC
  20. Brandon McManus DEN vs IND
  21. Matt Bryant ATL vs SEA
  22. Austin Seibert CLE vs NE
  23. Jake Elliott PHI vs BUF
  24. Daniel Carlson OAK vs HOU
  25. Randy Bullock CIN vs LAR
  26. Aldrick Rosas NYG vs DET
  27. Jason Sanders MIA vs PIT
  28. Sam Ficken NYJ vs JAC

After a top three game last week, I think Josh Lambo is the top kicker option this week against the Jets, who the Jags should be able to move the ball on with ease and live in field goal range all day long. Same goes for Greg the Leg, Legatron, Greg Zuerlein and his Rams against the Bengals.

Wil Lutz, Jason Myers, and Matt Prater should be in similar situations as well against weak defenses. I like Robbie Gould and Chase McLaughlin because they are going up against defenses that will be able to hold their offense to many, and possibly long, field goal attempts as opposed to touchdowns and extra points.

I’m not super high on my guy Joey Slye this week as the Niners D has been so stout that they hardly even allow long field goal attempts. I think Zane Gonzalez vs NO, Matt Bryant vs SEA, Jake Elliott vs BUF, and Randy Bullock vs LAR are all matchups that I will try to avoid this week.
