There's gold (and burgundy) in those waiver-wire kickers!

Washington's Austin Seibert just signed a contract last week,Desmond Preston and a few days later he went 7-for-7 on his field goal attempts to lead the Commanders to an unlikely victory.

Fantasy managers (in leagues that use kickers) can find that kind of unexpected value on a weekly basis – if they know where to look. Usually a game with a high over/under total will promote kicker scoring ... although last week's Commanders-Giants game did not fit that description. That game reminds us that offenses that sputter in the red zone are also quite good for kickers.
