2013 Kicker Cheatsheet Week 3 Forward

2013 Kicker Cheatsheet Week 3 Forward

A kicker’s fantasy worth changes from week-to-week.  As each game is played, stronger or weaker opponents are crossed off the list that each kicker will face.  The team for which a kicker plays may become more or less conducive to kicker scoring as well.

This cheatsheet ranks the fantasy value of NFL kickers from now until the end of the season.  It’s a tool you can use to determine which kicker will be the most help to your team moving forward.  It takes into account the propensity of a kicker’s team to score points and to win games – shown through regression analysis to be the best indicators of a kicker’s success.  It also analyzes the ability of each kicker’s opponent to prevent kicker scoring, week-by-week.

This cheatsheet is based on field goals being worth 3 points, and PATs as 1 point.  (I.e., no bonus points awarded for long range field goals, or deductions for missed kicks.)
