Hey, kickers can make ALL the difference in a fantasy matchup. Countless times, there have been instances where Monday night games have been decided by a kicker. Games and weeks have been decided by whether a team has a solid or an average kicker. More often than not, they determine winners and losers. Currently, Strugis’ ADP is K16. That’s comical, because a year ago Sturgis finished as the 4th best kicker in fantasy football. As the Eagles offense improves (or struggles), they could lean heavily on their kicker.
In 2016, Sturgis hit 35 of his 41 attempts (85.4%). Sure, if the Eagles offense proliferates in terms of touchdown production, Sturgis’ fantasy value could suffer. With that being said, no one can argue with the fact that, if you’re looking for a reliable kicker, he’ll be one of the best ones available.
