Fantasy Football Kicker Streaming Week 7: Chargers Legs Lead the Way
We’re without the services of four quality kickers in Week 7 - Tyler Bass, Matt Gay, Greg Joseph, and Jake Elliott - so finding a streamable kicker may have led you to this column for the first time. I’ve found some nuggets this week, so hopefully, we can take advantage of league-mates that aren’t paying attention to the kicker position.

In order to provide advice you can actually implement, candidates for streaming must be rostered in no more than 40% of Yahoo! fantasy leagues. As always, check 4for4’s rankings and our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed (aFPA) metric when making weekly decisions on any position.
Week 6 Recap
It was a fairly good week on the stream, as three of my five recommendations were among the Top 7 kickers in fantasy points. Dustin Hopkins and Jason Meyers tied for K3 with 13 points, while Jake Elliot posted 10 fantasy points as K7.
4for4's optimal streamer now has 62 points, which puts him at K1 on the season.

Taylor Bertolet (Chargers) vs. Seahawks
Based on the looks of Hopkins’ leg on Monday night, there’s a pretty decent chance he misses Week 7, but don’t fret Taylor Bertolet is a viable fill-in. In Week 5, the 29-year-old nailed all three field goals plus three extra points for a solid 12-point fantasy performance.
This week the Chargers are 6.5-home favorites against Seattle, with the highest implied team total of the week currently set at 29. Bertolet is available everywhere on every site.
