Cody Parkey (K, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

Owned in 28% of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: Don't be sleeping on the slight edge that a high-end kicker can give you week to week, because sometimes it's a matter of a few points that separate you from a win. We like to think that the Eagles' rookie kicker, Cody Parkey, is exactly the kinda upside play we love in Week 4 for some fantasy football fun. Coming straight outta Auburn (not Compton), Mr. Parkey has supplanted the freshly cut veteran Nate Freese, and has put up three monster weeks going 8-for-9 in field goal attempts while averaging 13.7 fantasy points in Fleaflicker leagues.

Being that he's probably going to finish the season as a top 5 kicker playing in the Eagles extremely high-paced offense, and will provide tremendous consistency week to week like he's done thus far, he appears on our list of waiver wire sleepers and we love this guy almost more than any other kicker in the business at that moment. If you have the opportunity to snag this rising kicking star off the waiver wire before it's too late, we highly recommend you do immediately if not sooner. Don't go splurging 50% of your FAAB on him, but he can definitely help be a difference maker - even though he's "just a kicker".
