Key Points Bye-week absences include highly rated kickers Chase McLaughlin and Nick Folk. Most other missing kickers have low fantasy value this season. Strong value plays can be found throughout the top three tiers this week. Beyond losing Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin (PK3) and the New York Jets’ Nick Folk (PK6) to their bye weeks, the positional impact is inconsequential. The other pair of missing boots — plus a late injury scratch from Week 8’s Monday nighter in Washington’s Matt Gay — all rank in the bottom 10 of the league for fantasy football points scored on the year. Otherwise, the position is wide open for fantasy lineups following last week’s return of Graham Gano and Brandon McManus.
