It was another great week for our kickers. Six of the seven scored in double digits, and Butker led the way with 21. Our pool of options averaged 2.6 more points than the field, showing once again that a little research can give you an advantage over just picking a random kicker(aka the Dan Back Technique). Through the first eight weeks our kickers have averaged 1.3 points per game over the field.
