BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: K1
ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody missed three of his field goal attempts in Week 10, and while that could scare away some fantasy managers, it shouldn't. The most important thing a kicker can have for fantasy football is opportunities, and Moody got to attempt six field goals. That's elite volume.

This is less of a "Start Jake Moody" piece, and more of a "Just Start Whoever Is The Kicker For The 49ers Because They're Probably Going To Kick A Ton Of Field Goals And That's Really Good" article. In a little less than six games, Moody has attempted 14 extra points and a hefty 20 field goal tries.
Not many kickers get the opportunity to kick three or more field goals per game, on average. So even if he misses a kick here or there, he can produce for fantasy managers. And if he gets released or benched, the team's new kicker becomes a priority pickup off waivers or free agency.
Many positions in the NFL are volume-dependent, and placekicker is no exception. You should chase the guys that are booting it the most. It's simple stuff. Start him in Week 11.
