3 Kickers to Target in the Last Round of Your Fantasy Football Draft
These kickers have promising Week 1 matchups, making them ideal players to target with your final pick.

Matt Bryant, Atlanta Falcons

Wily ol' veteran Matt Bryant finished first among kickers in fantasy football last season. He may not last too deep into the final round, but if you have an earlier pick in the last round, this is another kicker worth targeting.

The Atlanta Falcons take on the Chicago Bears and are favored by 7 points. They have an implied team total of 28.75 points, which is the highest on the weekend slate.

As we just mentioned, kickers playing for teams with an implied total ranging from 27 to 29.75 points scored an average of 8.64 fantasy points per game. The ATLiens are heavy road favorites, and Bryant should easily put up some points.

The Falcons were only favored by 7 or more in two games last season, and they averaged close to 40 points per game in those two affairs.

Bryant will be tougher to draft, but he is about as safe as it gets for Week 1.
