Kicker Blair Walsh is facing the Washington Redskins this week and while he's under the radar, he will provide a good amount of fantasy points in this matchup. Since the Vikings' offense hasn't really taken off like many expected, Walsh should get plenty of opportunities to help put points on the board. It also helps that he's made well above 80 percent of his field goals so far this season.

Kicker Cairo Santos is set to face off against the New York Jets and should see a decent amount of opportunities to nail some field goals. The Kansas City Chiefs have been somewhat of a letdown so far this season since their offense is struggling heavily to make some impact in the red zone. Expect to see Santos be a consistent contributor to the scoreboard since the Jets' defense should be able to contain their offense.

Nick Folk hasn't had his best season so far, but should be able to have a big day against the upcoming Kansas City Chiefs. Since both the Chiefs and New York Jets have major issues on offense, this could very well be a shootout amongst kickers to see who leaves victorious. Expect to see Folk also get in on the action and get a few field goals completed for his team.

Brandon McManus should easily be available on the waiver wire since the Broncos don't really pride themselves on having a strong kicking game thanks to quarterback Peyton Manning. In the event they do need some clutch field goals, he's known to deliver. Facing an epic game against the New England Patriots, he could very well be a key factor as many predict it will come down to a game-winning field goal.

Caleb Sturgis is the top kicker to acquire this week since many believe he won't get many opportunities against the San Diego Chargers. Make no mistake about it, the Miami Dolphins will bring their best to take down one of the top teams in the NFL. Don't be surprised since they don't really do well in the red zone if Sturgis gets plenty of opportunities to put some points up on the board. He should be able to contribute very nicely!
