In fantasy football, the kicker position tends to be overlooked. Although having an elite K is not essential, a few extra points from an upper-echelon talent could be the difference between a win or a loss. Luckily, there are quality options to consider on the waiver wire in Week 3 if you are sunk. Here are five kickers in particular who are worth claiming in all leagues. Read on to find out who they are.

Eagles K Cody Parkey has performed adequately thus far in his rookie season. He has converted five of six field goal attempts, one of which he nailed from 51 yards out. The other four were from less than 40 yards out. He is owned in only 5.9 percent of ESPN leagues. He deserves a spot on your roster if you need a K. It also doesn't hurt that he plays on an Eagles team that is prolific offensively.

Titans K Ryan Succop has been fantastic so far this year. He is a perfect five for five in field goals on the season, three of which came from at least 40 yards out. He should be available in your league as he is owned in just 5 percent of ESPN leagues. The reason he's No. 4? He has a tough matchup against the Bengals. They allow the fourth least amount of points to opposing Ks. Even still, he is solid and he should be owned in all leagues.

3. Chandler Catanzaro

Cardinals K Chandler Catanzaro has been dynamite in his rookie campaign so far. Picking up right where he left off at Clemson, he has converted all six of his attempts, two of which were longer than 40 yards. Despite that, he is only owned in 1.3 percent of ESPN leagues. Catanzaro is notorious for having a big leg. He could be the next elite NFL kicker of the future. He deserves a spot on someone's roster in every fantasy league.

Bills K Dan Carpenter ranks among the best in the NFL at his position. He is both accurate and he has a strong leg. This season, he has demonstrated both so far. He has converted eight of nine attempts already, one of which was from 50 yards away. Despite his success to this point, he is owned in only 5.8 percent of ESPN leagues. He is worth claiming in all leagues, especially given the fact that the Bills will have plenty of opportunities.

K Matt Bryant has been an absolute stud for the Falcons so far this season. He has only attempted four field goals on the year so far, but he has been automatic. He has converted all of his attempts, all of which have been at least 40 yards. Half of those have come from at least 50 yards out. He is owned in 49.2 percent of ESPN leagues so if you want him, claim him immediately. He has a very good matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 3.
