Nick Novak (K, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All 10+ Team Leagues

Owned in 74% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: In case you you haven't paid attention, Nick Novak has quietly been putting up a stud season at the place kicker position for the surging San Diego Chargers.

There are a few factors that you want in your fantasy football kicker if you're looking for a week to week anchor so that you don't need to worry about streaming. The first is reliability, the second is opportunity, and the third is a high scoring offense to provide plenty of potential leg work. Well kids, Nick "The Kick" Novak is exactly all of that plus a big bag of chips, with the dip.

The Chargers new exactly what they were doing when the gave the 33 year old veteran a 4 year, 6.6 million dollar contract (with a 1.5 million dollar signing bonus), and you are looking very smart if you already own this fantasy football stud.

With his ownership rate still being at less than 100%, we suggest you have a gander at your waiver wire to see if you can flukily catch Mr. Novak just sitting there for the Week 5 plucking.
