Fantasy Football Week 7 Kicker Rankings: Can Matt Prater Build Off of Monster Game?

Getty Detroit Lions Kicker Matt Prater

Welcome to our fantasy football kicker rankings for Week 7 of the 2019 NFL regular season. This week fantasy owners will likely be working the waiver wire to fill the void left behind by some of the top-performing kickers in fantasy this season. Carolina’s Joey Slye and Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Matt Gay both rank within the top five fantasy point scorers at their position, with Slye manning the top spot.

Kicker Outlook Week 7

Harrison Butker (K1) averages the fifth-most fantasy points by a player at his position this season. Week 7 should offer up much of the same for Butker fantasy owners. No team has allowed more fantasy points to kickers this season then Butker’s opponents, the Denver Broncos.

Zane Gonzalez (K4) has averaged 11.2 fantasy points in five of his six contests this season. The Arizona kicker has eclipsed double-digit points in back-to-back weeks. Gonzalez faces off against a Giants team that has allowed kickers to score at least 16 fantasy points in two of their past four games.

With plenty of owners skimming the waiver wire looking for a bye week flyer, Matt Prater (K16) likely caught their eyes. Prater was a monster on Monday Night Football, putting up an absurd 21 fantasy points against the Green Bay Packers. However, Prater will face off with a Minnesota Vikings team that has held four of their six kicking opponents this season to an insanely low average of just 2.25 fantasy points per game.
