FanDuel NFL Kicker/Defense Breakdown: Week 17

Don’t overlook the kicker and D/ST positions! There is an edge to be had if you do the research…which is exactly what Mike Sommer has done.

Week 17

There is no shortage of kicker options in this final week of the season. We have eight kickers who meet our criteria of being a home favorite with an implied team total of 24 or more.

Top Plays:

Stephen Gostkowski ($5,300)
Opponent: N.Y. Jets Spread: -15 Team Total: 30 Prop>3: TBD

The team who is the biggest favorite and has the highest implied team total on the slate also has the most expensive kicker. Gostkowski is pricey at $5,300, but he is in a prime opportunity to put up another great performance like last week. If you have the salary he should be a pretty safe option.
