Week 7 Fantasy Football Kickers: Sit 'Em

Brandon McManus - Denver Broncos vs. New York Jets

Brandon McManus has scored a solid amount of Fantasy Football points this season, but has also missed out on opportunities to score more. While he currently ranks sixth in fantasy points per game, his 82.4 conversion rate on field goals is the worst of any kicker in the top ten in points scored.

Week 7 could be a tough game for McManus in Fantasy Football. He isn't expected to receive too many opportunities to score as the the Denver Broncos' game against the New York Jets currently has the lowest total betting line at 38.5 points. The low projected score paired with his relatively weak conversion rate is a concerning combination this week.

Cade York - Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens

Weather is another important factor to pay attention to when deciding which kicker to start each week in Fantasy Football. Windy and rainy conditions can make it increasingly difficult for kickers to convert on their opportunities to score.

This is one of the issues for Cade York in Week 7. The Cleveland Browns' game against the Baltimore Ravens may be affected by a tropical storm. This is bad news for York, who has been relatively inefficient. He is one of only three active starting kickers, along with Cairo Santos and Greg Joseph, with multiple missed extra-point attempts.

Mason Crosby - Green Bay Packers vs. Washington Commanders

The same tropical storm that may affect the Browns and Ravens game is also expected to have an impact on the Green Bay Packers' game against the Washington Commanders. This could result in particularly challenging conditions at FedEx Field, which has a reputation for poor maintenance.

The weather and location of the Packers game in Week 7 make Mason Crosby a kicker to avoid in Fantasy Football. Crosby has been relatively unreliable this season anyway, scoring just the 25th most fantasy points so far among all kickers.
