Kyle Murray flagged Cameron Dicker as a priority secondary play behind the quarterbacks, defenses and other top options. Dicker finished last season as one of the best fantasy kickers and owns the leg to hit from 55-60 yards, a key edge in a preseason game where the Chargers’ backup offense may stall just inside midfield. Murray noted you should not expect many PATs but long-range field-goal attempts are firmly in play, giving Dicker realistic 8-10 point upside at low salary. He recommended treating Dicker as a tournament pivot who can land in the optimal if the offenses sputter.

Eric Polzin said Cameron Dicker is a core DFS play for the Hall of Fame Game because the Chargers have no backup kicker on the roster. PrizePicks hung both Dicker and Jake Bates at 1.5 field-goals made and 1.5 PATs. Even one made field goal plus a PAT delivers 4.5 fantasy points, a massive score in a game projected to be ugly and low-scoring. With Trey Lance expected to move the ball but drives likely stalling in the red zone, Polzin expects Dicker to see every kicking snap and carry one of the safest floors on the slate at a cheap salary.
