Top Kickers To Start in Week 8
Cameron Dicker, Los Angeles Chargers
Cameron Dicker has been a solid option for fantasy managers up to this point due to the offense he’s attached to. The Los Angeles Chargers shouldn’t have any issues putting up points on the board in Week 8 against the Chicago Bears.
This should lead to numerous opportunities for Dicker to see the field, and that’s what you’re hoping for at the kicker position.
Daniel Carlson, Las Vegas Raiders
It was a bit of a down week for Daniel Carlson in Week 7 against the Bears as the Las Vegas Raiders’ offense struggled to move the ball routinely with Brian Hoyer at QB.
In Week 8, against the Detroit Lions’ defense — perhaps with Jimmy Garoppolo back at QB — we should see the offense move the ball more efficiently. However, they may end up having to settle for more field goals, with Detroit’s defense doing enough to slow them down.
