Kickers saw a ton of action in Week 8 and look to be game-winners for NFL and fantasy football teams alike moving forward. Which kickers should you consider targeting on the waiver wire in Week 9?
Top Kicker Streamers for Week 9
Cameron Dicker, LAC (at NYJ) – 34% rostered
Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker continues to be a solid start on fantasy teams. He is on a team that, even in a loss, the least amount of points they have scored is 17.

The opportunities are there for Dicker, as the Chargers should have a solid day offensively against the Jets in Week 9. Keep an eye on the weather as we start to edge toward winter, and the game is in New Jersey.
Matt Gay, IND (at CAR) – 20% rostered
Matt Gay has scored double-digit fantasy points in four out of the last six weeks, with five FGs made over 50 yards in the season. The Colts offense continues to move, and Gay is a solid kicker to pick up and plug in your lineup.
Blake Grupe, NO (vs. CHI) – 17% rostered
Blake Grupe continues to have a rookie season he can be proud of. He has scored double-digit fantasy points in three out of the last five games, and they get Chicago at home in Week 9. Those kickers love a dome, and Grupe can be started this week. The Saints head to Minnesota in Week 10, so you might get two starts out of him.
Ka’imi Fairbairn, HOU (vs. TB) – 15% rostered
Fresh off the bye, Ka’imi Fairbairn didn’t perform like we expected he would against Carolina, but he has a good chance to perform well in Week 9 against Tampa Bay. The game is in a dome in Houston, and Fairbairn is a good start this week and is widely available on waivers.
