Why is Stover ranked last in the Cheatsheets? (1 Viewer)

[GibbyGarcia]

I've looked all over and I can't figure out why one of the best clutch kickers and a decent fantasy producer is ranking dead last...any insight that I'm missing?

Probably because Baltimore is not expected to be able to move the ball on Pittsburgh and if Pittsburgh gets out to a big lead then FGs will be irrelevant in the 2nd half as Balt goes for TDs.

he didn't practice fri. since he plays mon, i sat him if i had a 2nd kicker.

Because he is playing on the road in Pittsburgh and doesn't have an offense that is going to be getting him in FG position on a consisitent basis.

I don't know if dead last is the correct spot for him, but he should be in the bottom 5 IMO

He's the #4 fantasy kicker, and the last 3 years he's averaged 8.7 PPG vs. Pittsburgh. Seems like he should at least be in the top 20 this week.

The Steelers are giving up the fewest points in the league on Defense. And there is a chance of wind and rain on Monday night. I would think there are a ton of better options than Stover, but I probably wouldn't rank him last.

Weather does come into it, as does injury. But to me, if a D is very successful stopping teams in the red zone, it actually bodes well for opposing kickers.

I started him. Hoping for a zero cause my season is over anyway.

...plus Heinz Field is a notoriously tough place to kick.

Apparently, yes.
