Projected Top 5 NFL Fantasy Kickers: Week 17 Projected Top 5 NFL Fantasy Kickers: Week 17 By Bart Lopez With the NFL playoffs coming up now is the best time to sign up for an ALL-ACCESS membership. All the game previews and in-depth analyses for college football, college basketball, soccer, and NFL games will be at your fingertips. 1. Alex Henery (PHI): Henery takes the top spot after hitting two more field goals and two more extra points in the win over Dallas. Philadelphia is one of the few good teams that will give it a 100% in week 17, so Henery looks like a solid starter. Projected fantasy points: 10.7. 2. Matt Bryant (ATL): Bryant notched three field goals, one from over 50 yards, in the loss to the Saints. Bryant has been solid all year, sending 26 of 28 field goals through the uprights. Projected fantasy points: 10.0. 3. John Kasay (NO): Kasay made six extra points on Monday night as the Saints threw all over the Falcons’ secondary. The Saints are going to score points at will, which spells easy points for Kasay fantasy owners. Projected fantasy points: 9.8. 4. Stephen Gostkowski (NE): Gostkowski had a solid game last week, despite missing his fifth field goal of the season. He made two field goals from over 40 yards and three extra points. Like Kasay, Gostkowski is always going to put up a good amount of points as the Patriots score at will. Projected fantasy points: 9.7. 5. Shaun Suisham (PIT): Suisham had a solid game against the Rams, scoring nine points on a combination of field goals and extra points. The Steelers are going to handle the Browns in Cleveland, so expect Suisham to finish with around nine points again. Projected fantasy points: 9.2. Not top 5, but could be: This week’s kicker that missed the cut is Dallas’ Dan Bailey. Bailey didn’t do anything last week, but that’s because Dallas’ offense fell flat after Romo left with a hand injury. Romo will be back against the Giants, and Bailey is bound to see plenty of action. Projected fantasy points: 8.6.
