Fantasy Football Streaming Ks Week 8

Michael Badgley vs. Titans (38.8%): Badgley hasn't been a great fantasy option since taking over the lead kicking duties, scoring a combined 14 points in two games. I do like him this week, though, as a plus matchup against the Titans is next. Colts kickers have combined for the third-most points at the position, and Tennessee surrendered 11 points to Spencer Shrader in Week 3.

Matt Prater at Panthers (21.7%): Prater was released in a lot of leagues while the Bills were on a bye, but he's still a viable fantasy starter behind Josh Allen and the Buffalo offense. He had scored eight-plus points in four of his six games before the break, and Carolina has allowed at least nine fantasy points to three kickers this season. Prater could go from streamer to weekly starter once again.

Evan McPherson vs. Jets (9.7%): McPherson had a huge game last Thursday, scoring a season-high 17 fantasy points against the Steelers. He’s in a good spot to put up a high total this week too, as he faces a Jets defense that’s allowed the most points per game to kickers. In fact, five kickers have beaten New York for at least nine points, including three with at least 14 points.

Parker Romo vs. Dolphins (1.3%): Romo has posted two stinkers in a row, as he’s been held to nine combined points in his last two contests. The good news is that he’s a nice steamer this week based on a plus matchup against the Dolphins. Their defense has allowed five kickers to beat them for at least nine points, including three who have put up double digits against them.
