Week 3 fantasy kicker rankings: Colts rookie worth celebrating

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

Who says kickers can’t be difference-makers in fantasy football?

Most of the Week 2 attention – and justifiably so – has been on Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey, who nailed a game-tying 64-yard field goal at the end of regulation and a game-ending 46-yarder as the clock expired in overtime.

But don’t overlook Colts rookie Spencer Shrader’s accomplishments. Shrader also had a game-winning kick on Sunday as he converted all five of his field goal attempts against the Broncos. In fact, Shrader has yet to miss in his NFL career, going 9-for-9 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra points. And he, not Aubrey, is the No. 1 fantasy kicker after two weeks.
