For now, we’ll focus on the individual kickers and the matchups. Right at the top, we have Justin Tucker, who maintains his lofty ranking despite a tough matchup against Indianapolis. Fortunately, that game is in a stadium with a roof, so we don’t have to worry about the weather with Tucker like we did last week. The same is true on the other side of that game, where Rodrigo Blankenship is still a borderline starter despite a a tough matchup.
WEEK 9 STANDARD RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST
Youngoe Koo (vs. Broncos) and Matt Prater (@ Vikings) are two more elite kickers playing indoors, while Chris Boswell (@ Cowboys) and Brandon McManus (@ Falcons) are both indoors and have great matchups. They move up, along with Ka’imi Fairbairn (@ Jaguars) and Josh Lambo (vs. Texans), who should be in relatively safe conditions in favorable matchups.
WEEK 9 PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST
No kickers are truly “off limits” in a given week, but Zane Gonzalez (vs. Dolphins), Greg Zuerlein (vs. Steelers), and Dan Bailey (vs. Lions) are indoor kickers in tough matchups, while Robbie Gould (vs. Packers) and Wil Lutz (@ Buccaneers) are normally reliable kickers in tougher matchups this week, too.
WEEK 9 DFS CASH LINEUPS: DraftKings | FanDuel
One of fantasy’s top kickers, Randy Bullock, is on bye this week along with Kai Forbath, Cody Parkey, and Jake Elliott. Fairbairn, Gonzalez, Lambo, and Josh Hopkins are coming off byes, so all should be available on your waiver wire if you need a fill-in.
