Guest writer Bob is back with his thoughts on kickers for Week 11. Every little bit can help when you're waging a make-it-to-the-playoffs war so read on...
G’day to all you readers of the FFLibrarian. Hope you’re following because a lot of good
advice is flying around here. This
week’s PK streams are plentiful, so I took from the best opportunities. But first, let’s look at last week’s
recommendations.

Week 10 PKs averaged 7.88 points overall, a down week for
PKs. The yearly average of all PKs is
9.2. The average for the week of those owned
over 70% PKs was 8.6. So the above streamers averaged better than all the
averages. I had Crosby in several of my
leagues and it paid dividends. And
Suisham would have gone bonkers if it wasn’t for that terrible offensive outing
by PIT. Catanzaro stock may move up due
to the Palmer injury but not this week due to the stingy DET squad, so stay
tuned.
Here’s this week’s analysis and recommendations.

Good target, greater DEN off, will be getting PA but low FGS
|
Blair Walsh is going against a CHI team that is breaking
apart. I like MIN’s chance to win this
game and in doing so will be taking all the points it can, including a game winning
FG. Kai Forbath??? Yep, it’s a good matchup against a TB team
that is starting to score. But WAS will
prevail and utilize its scantily used PK to keep ahead. Graham Gano is a good kicker when he’s used.
This week it’s the week ATL defense in a close game that will find
opportunities to Gano. Caleb Sturgis is
7th in overall scoring and has a nice defensive matchup this week
which should spell some FGs. Nick Novak
is back, only because they are against a generous team in OAK. I don’t know what’s happened to the SD
offense, but I think they rebound at home this week and take as many points as
possible in a close game. Finally, be
careful of Brandon McManus, I think he gets 5 or 6 points, but probably
not many FGs.
That’s it for this week.
If you don’t have one of the top-owned PKs and have a bye in week 11,
start the following in the order below:
Blair Walsh, Kai Forbath, Graham Gano, Caleb Sturgis, or
Nick Novak.
Happy playing and Kick It Up a Notch!!
