Fantasy Kicker Streamers and Rankings Week 2: Targets Include Riley Patterson and Jake Moody

Knowing which kickers to start in fantasy football can be critical to winning your matchups. This position, arguably more so than any other, is matchup-dependent on a weekly basis, and the best results can be obtained by being flexible with a streaming strategy. Here’s a look at our Week 2 fantasy kicker rankings and the top options to stream this week.

Top Kicker Streamers for Week 2

Here are my top fantasy kicker streamers, all of whom are rostered in less than 50% of Yahoo leagues.

Riley Patterson, Detroit Lions (vs. SEA)

We like kickers on good offenses. The Detroit Lions have a good offense.

Riley Patterson didn’t help fantasy managers in Week 1 because the Lions scored three touchdowns. In Week 2, the Lions are five-point home favorites against a soft Seattle Seahawks defense. They should be able to move the ball at will, generating plenty of scoring opportunities. Hopefully, for fantasy managers streaming Patterson, they settle for a couple of field goals.

Jake Moody, San Francisco 49ers (at LAR)

The rookie kicker battled injury in the preseason but looked quite healthy in Week 1. Jake Moody drilled all three of his field goal attempts, including two from over 40 yards.

This week, the San Francisco 49ers are road favorites against the Los Angeles Rams. They are the better offense and will be playing in good weather. Moody checks every box you are looking for in a kicker streamer.

Graham Gano, New York Giants (at ARI)

There wasn’t anything for Graham Gano to do against the Dallas Cowboys last week, as the New York Giants failed to score any points. Don’t let that deter you from streaming Gano against the Arizona Cardinals this week, though.

The Giants are not nearly as bad as they looked on Sunday night. They are going to score points. They are going to win games.

The Cardinals remain the worst team in football, despite their valiant effort against the Washington Commanders. The Giants are favored, and this game will be in good weather.

Furthermore, the Giants are a great offense to look at for a kicker streamer because they are good enough to move the ball but not so good that they will consistently finish drives with touchdowns.
