Don't look now, but there's an extremely underrated kicker out there and most fantasy football managers have no idea how productive he's been this season.
Eddy Pineiro of the San Francisco 49ers was the No. 1 kicker in Week 6, connecting on four field goals and a PAT. Rostered in just 25% of Yahoo leagues, Pineiro has made all 15 of his field goal attempts this season – including 4-of-4 from 50-plus yards – and is one missed extra point away from tying Brandon Aubrey of the Dallas Cowboys as the top-scoring kicker in fantasy.
But we haven't forgotten about him here. He's our No. 3 as the Niners host the Falcons.
