2011-12 NFL Playoffs: Divisional Round Fantasy Kicker Rankings

Here are the Lester’s Legends kicker rankings for the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.

1.  David Akers vs. New Orleans Saints

Set the NFL record with 44 FGs. Had 19 more points than the next kicker. The Saints allowed 27 FGs this year.

2.  John Kasay @ San Francisco 49ers

Kasay is that next kicker with 147 points (28 FGs, 63 PATs). The Niners allowed just 22 FGs, but the Saints are a lock to put points on the board.

3.  Mason Crosby vs. New York Giants

Ranked fourth in scoring behind 24 FGs and 68 PATs. The Giants allowed 25 FGs. This one figures to be a pretty high-scoring affair.

4.  Stephen Gostkowski vs. Denver Broncos

Ranked third in scoring behind 28 FGs and 59 PATs. The Broncos allowed more FGs (32) than any other playoff team. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Patriots put 30-plus points on the board.

5.  Neil Rackers @ Baltimore Ravens

Can you see a trend here? Rackers finished tied for fifth in scoring behind 32 FGs and 39 PATs. The Ravens allowed 28 FGs. I think this game will be the lowest scoring of the weekend, but there could be more FGs in this one than the other games.

6.  Billy Cundiff vs. Houston Texans

Cundiff finished 11th (28 FGs, 38 PATs) in scoring despite dealing with a calf injury. The Texans allowed 30 FGs.

7.  Lawrence Tynes @ Green Bay Packers

Tynes ranked just 24th with 100 points (19 FGs, 43 PATs). The Packers allowed just 22 FGs.

8.  Matt Prater @ New England Patriots

Prater ranked 30th among kickers with just 87 points (19 FGs, 30 PATs). The Pats allowed the second fewest FGs (20) in the league.
