It’s kind of a sad thing to think about – will Justin Tucker ever bottom out the way Vinatieri has? Probably not, but time can be cruel. (Sorry for getting philosophical there.) This week’s kicker rankings are pretty straightforward. You do have to worry about Harrison Butker and Michael Badgley on bye, but outside of Tucker and Greg Zuerlein, you can just replace them and not miss out on much.
WEEK 12 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST
I’ve also got to shout out Younghoe Koo. In his first game with the Falcons, in Week 10, he made all six of his kicking attempts – four field goals and two extra points. He was a stud in the short-lived Alliance of American Football and has a strong enough kicking pedigree to expect solid performance for Atlanta the rest of the way. Koo is probably where I’d look first if I owned Butker or Badgley.
WEEK 12 DFS LINEUPS: FD cash | FD GPP | DK cash | DK GPP | Y! cash | Y! GPP
And in the most exciting kicker news of the week, Tucker and Zuerlein face off with each other in a battle for kicker superiority. I say we just have a kicking game of H.O.R.S.E. to decide who wins that game.
WEEK 12 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end
Week 12 byes claim two top-seven kickers in Butker and Badgley, along with Dan Bailey and Zane Gonzalez.
