ANALYSIS: For those of you who are seeking a kicker, yes a kicker, I'm going to recommend you pickup Chandler Catanzaro right away. After all points are points in fantasy football. Let me share with you a few reasons with you why: (1) Catanzara is a perfect 14-for-14 on field goal attempts this season. (2) Cantanzaro has the 7th highest fantasy football points for the season for kickers, more points than widely owned kickers in Hauschka, Dawson, and Crosby to name a few. (3) This reason is the most compelling - the Arizona Cardinals are ranked dead last this season on red zone conversions to TDs at 30.77%. This means that when the Cardinals get to the red zone they have to resort to field goals due to the lack of TD production.

Catanzaro should continue to get plenty of opportunities and at a relatively easy distance, and is one of our kicker sleepers to target off the waiver wire for Week 7. Surprisingly, Catanzaro is still widely available and not being mentioned as a kicker waiver option in many places across the fantasy football community, but as you can see here he is ranked in our top tier of kickers for Week 7. If you are in need of a kicker, Catanzaro is a perfect candidate to pickup off the free agent pool. I would recommend that you don't use a waiver claim on a kicker (so you can use it on higher value position players), however I would pick him up when the waiver period has ended.
