Fantasy Football K Rankings, Who Should I Add Off Waiver Wires:

Cairo Santos (Bears) was the high🍸est recommended Kicker waiver wꦇire pickup this week.

Analysis

Honestly, I was shocked to find Cairo Santos this available entering Week 3 (and shame on me for leaving him out of last week’s column). He tied Matt Gay for the second-most fantasy points at the position last season (behind only Brandon Aubrey) and made three field goals and an✤ extra point in Weeꦏk 2.

He proceeded to hit a🤡𒁃 pair of 50-yarders and add another extra point in Week 3. Santos should be rostered and started in every single fantasy league (that has kickers of course).

What is the Best Streaming Option in the Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings?

Blake Grupe (Saints) and Jake Bates (Lions) are two of the best streaming options at🦩 the position this week. 

Analysis

Blake Grupe – As the K4 on the season thanks to the Saints’ sudden high-octane offense, Blake Grupe is in another nice spot in Week 3. New Orleans is favored by 1.5 points with a team total of 25.50, plus Grupe gets to kick at home in a cushy dome.

The 💫sophomore is only on 6% of Yahoo rosters heading into Week 3.

Jake Bates – You can assume Jake Bates will be in this article until he’s over 40% rostered, or until the Lions stop scoring points. This week they head to Arizona where they are favored by a field goal, with the second-highest team total of the week currently set at 27.25 points.

Bates 🥃is still free in 79% of Yahoo fantasy leagues.

Who are some Week 3 Fantasy Kickers to avoid?

Some options who ha✤ve fallen out of the top-20 Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings include: Nick Folk (Titans), Will Reichard (Vikings), and Chris Boswell (Steelers).
