We’ll go over some Week 2 kicker performances you should consider scooping off the waiver wire ahead of Week 3. We’ll classify a waiver add as someone who is rostered under roughly 60% of Yahoo leagues.
Spencer Shrader, K, Colts (3%)
Next three matchups — @TEN, @LAR, LV
Shrader has now made all nine of his field goals and all five of his extra points. He hasn’t been asked to kick a 50+ yarder yet, so he’s not getting those extra fantasy points, but the Colts offense has been methodical, while not putting up huge plays behind Daniel Jones’ short to mid-range passing approach for the most part. He should continue to see plenty of chances if the Colts can keep Jonathan Taylor rolling and Jones continues his efficient and safe passing.
Cam Little, K, Jaguars (42%)
Next three matchups — HOU, @SF, KC
Little has made all six of his field-goal attempts and all five of his extra points so far this season. Trevor Lawrence continues to underachieve, while the Jaguars have a strong group of offensive skill players. That should lead to good field position, but underwhelming touchdown production. Enter Cam Little.
Matt Prater, K, Bills (13%)
Next three matchups — MIA, NO, NE
Prater is 6-for-6 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra points through two games. One of those kicks was a game winner in Week 1 and another was a 50+ yarder. So, the old man can still hit from 50 yards out and he’s got nerves of steel in clutch situations for a team that scored a lot of points.
