One thing about kickers ... they're either the hero or the goat. There's really little in between.
Take the Seahawks' Jason Myers, for example. Last week against the Los Angeles Rams in a battle for first place in the NFC West, Myers connected on all four of his field goal attempts and an extra point after a late touchdown. But then with his team trailing by two in the final seconds, he still needed to hit a 61-yarder to give Seattle the win. The kick fell short.
Despite the disappointment, Myers is still the top-scoring kicker in fantasy football after 11 weeks. And he's No. 1 this week too, as the Seahawks face the Tennessee Titans.
