Fantasy Football 2011: Week 8 Kicker Rankings

by dukeallstar on Oct 28, 2011 9:10 AM EDT in 2011 Fantasy Football Weekly Rankings

All 26 kickers for Week 8 ranked following the jump.

Kickers to start: John Kasay (New Orleans) - New Orleans will be playing St. Louis and after what they did to Indianapolis last week, I think Kasay is a must start kicker.

Olindo Mare (Carolina) - Mare kicked 15 points last week in the Carolina win over Washington. While Minnesota allowed Mason Crosby to also kick for 15 points against them last week. I think this game will be high scoring, so start Mare if you have him.

Billy Cundiff (Baltimore) - Cundiff only had one point in Week 8 but up to that point had been having a really good season. I think Baltimore is going to come out offensively blazing against Arizona and that means you need to start Cundiff.

Kickers to avoid: Jay Feely (Arizona), Josh Brown (St. Louis) and Steven Hauschka (Seattle) - These three are playing against some really good defenses, while their offenses are struggling with injuries. Leave them on the bench.
