Fantasy Football Matchup Outlooks
Below are some fantasy football outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider starting in Week 6:
Brandon McManus, K, Green Bay Packers
It sounds like McManus has a very real chance of missing the Week 6 game this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals at Lambeau Field despite coming out of the bye week. The good news is that the 34-year-old veteran kicker was limited in Wednesday's practice with his right-quad injury, giving him a chance to be available this weekend.
If McManus is unable to play against Cincy, the Packers would be forced to turn to Mark McNamee, who is currently on their practice squad. If McManus is good to go to face the Bengals, though, he should be viewed as a top-10 kicking option in fantasy against a very suspect Bengals defense.
Matt Prater, K, Buffalo Bills
Prater has been around for ages, but somehow he's still underrated this season. In Sunday's 23-20 loss to New England, the veteran hit both of his field goals and extra points. Through five matchups, he's knocked through 10-of-11 field goals and all 15-of-15 extra points.
With Tyler Bass (hip/groin) still on injured reserve, Prater's job seems safe for the moment. Plus, he's got the bonus of kicking in one of the best offenses in the league.
In Week 6, the Bills face the Falcons, a team allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per contest to opposing kickers. Additionally, this matchup takes place in a dome, meaning there will be no weather headaches. All of this makes Prater one of the safest plays of Week 6.
Jake Elliott, K, Philadelphia Eagles
Unfortunately, his perfect streak still isn't translating to fantasy points. Elliott faces the Giants on Thursday night, a team that he made two of three field goals and six-of-six extra points against last year in two meetings.
New York allows 25.4 points per game this season, but Elliott should probably still sit this fantasy week out until he starts putting up more numbers week-to-week.
Jason Myers, K, Jacksonville Jaguars
Myers missed his only field goal try and went 5-for-5 on extra points in Sunday's 38-35 defeat to the Buccaneers. It was the third contest this season where the kicker had at least one miss. This time, it was a 44-yarder in the first quarter. It's starting to feel like we can't trust him.
He's sitting at 9-for-12 on field goals, connecting on 3-of-4 of those from 50-plus yards. That's not bad, but it's also not ideal either. Myers has been perfect on extra points (17-for-17), so he has that, but it's not enough to feel confident heading into a tough contest.
Jacksonville is his Week 6 opponent, and they've surrendered the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers. If you have another option, even just a one-week streamer, it might be a good time to put Myers on the bench.
Wil Lutz, K, Denver Broncos
The Broncos haven't exactly been on fire this season, but Lutz has quietly become one of their most reliable players. In Sunday's 21-17 victory over Philadelphia, the kicker went 2-for-2 on field goals while hitting his lone extra point. One of those FGs came from a distance of 55 yards, giving a glimpse into his long-range abilities.
Over the season, Lutz is 6-for-7 on field goals and a perfect 12-for-12 on extra points. The sample size isn't huge, but he's been very efficient when Denver gets him into position. The problem has been more on the offense than anything, with drives stalling before reaching scoring range.
The Broncos take on the Jets in London this week, a defense that has conceded the most fantasy points to opposing kickers so far this season. Even if Denver can't find the end zone, they should stall in a prime position for Lutz. His ceiling isn't massive, but he has a safe floor in this week's matchup.
