Nick Novak will be the only kicker on this list who does not play his home games indoors, because he plays in sunny Southern California in perfect conditions often. This weekend in particular, the San Diego Chargers host the St. Louis Rams who have a solid enough defense to stop some Chargers drives rendering the kicking unit on the field. Novak is averaging almost eight points per game and is available in 59 percent of ESPN leagues.

The Detroit Lions will take on the New England Patriots in Week 12 at New England, however, their following three games will all be at home indoors in Detroit. This makes Matt Prater a solid addition to your roster for the next month if needed. Had he not gotten in trouble with the Denver Broncos, he would be completely owned instead of the 39.6 percent figure on ESPN.

3. Chandler Catanzaro, Arizona Cardinals

Four of the Arizona Cardinals last six games will be played indoors and the two outdoor games, Seattle and San Francisco, shouldn't be rough weather either. Chandler Catanzaro essentially averages nine fantasy points per game (8.9) yet is often overlooked because most people just don't see the Cardinals enough. He's available in 59.3 percent of ESPN leagues currently.

2. Shayne Graham, New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints are pretty terrible this season, but they typically put up a ton of points at home and play indoors. Shayne Graham averages 8.1 points per game which isn't overwhelming, but adequate. He is worth a look as half of the Saints remaining games are to be played indoors including Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens. Graham's currently available in 65.5 percent of ESPN leagues.

1. Greg Zuerlein, St. Louis Rams

Greg "The Leg" Zuerlein or "Legatron" as he is often known, dominated the Denver Broncos in Week 11 as his right leg outscored the legendary right arm of Peyton Manning. The St. Louis Rams play in San Diego against the Chargers this weekend and then home (indoors) against the Oakland Raiders the following week. Coming off of his 20 point performance, Zuerlein is an ideal play going forward and is only 4.7 percent owned.
