Harrison Mevis at Falcons: Mevis took over as the kicker for L.A. in Week 10 and has four games of at least nine fantasy points in his past five games. This should be a game in which the Rams offense is in the red zone plenty.

Charlie Smyth at Titans: Smyth has been the Saints kicker since Week 13 and is averaging 7.75 fantasy points over the past four contests. He’s coming off a 20-point performance vs. the Jets and Tennessee offers a similar matchup against a weak opponent.
Andy Borregales at Jets: Speaking of that weak opponent, Borregales gets the best matchup for fantasy kickers this season in New York. He’s also been pretty consistent with double-digit fantasy points in four of the past five games.
Eddy Pineiro vs. Bears: The 49ers kicker enters MNF vs. the Colts with at least 11 fantasy points in six of the past eight games in which he’s been healthy. Chicago isn’t the best matchup but we could see some stalled drives and kicking chances for Pineiro.
