Fantasy Football: 3 Kickers to Target in the Last Round of Your Draft

Steven Hauschka, Seattle Seahawks

The best Week 1 option is definitely Steven Hauschka. The Seattle Seahawks are playing at home where they have been heavily favored for the past few years. Week 1 is no different, as Pinnacle Sports has them as the biggest favorites on the board, projected to beat the Miami Dolphins by 10.5 points. Kickers on teams who were favored by 10 or more points averaged 9.77 fantasy points per game. That's about a point higher than our previous two kickers were projected to score based on historical averages.

If that's not enough to win you over, the Seahawks' implied total of 27.25 is one of the highest on the Week 1 slate.

Aside from the Vegas statistics, you also have the added benefit of selecting a reliable kicker in Hauschka, who made 94% of his kicks in 2015, tied for the best percentage of all kickers who had 30 or more field goal attempts. He also dominated by our advanced metrics.
