Succop shined in his debut with the Titans, as he kicked four field goals and two extra points. He was one of the biggest surprises of the week, and considering Tennessee plays a lackluster Dallas unit, expect another big day from the veteran kicker in Week 2.

Week 2 Matchup: (vs. DAL)

4. Mason Crosby, Green Bay Packers

Green Bay’s offense doesn’t look to be in midseason form right now and the potential loss of Eddie Lacy will slow the unit down even more this week. As a result, Crosby may get an extra couple field goal attempts in the early weeks of the season. Crosby won’t be a long-term solution, but he is worth utilizing this week with another favorable matchup.

Week 2 Matchup: (vs. NYJ)

3. Brandon McManus, Denver Broncos

The four-game suspension to Matt Prater forced the team to use McManus as their temporary kicker. Fortunately, he was rather productive in his debut, as he knocked in four extra points and a 21-yard field goal. He will be a top-10 option as long as he is still kicking the ball in Denver.

Week 2 Matchup: (vs. KC)

2. Adam Vinatieri, Indianapolis Colts

Philadelphia will put up tons of points week after week, so expect the Colts to be playing catch-up all afternoon. A three-FG outing isn’t out of the question for the veteran this week.

Week 2 Matchup: (vs. PHI)

1. Mike Nugent, Cincinnati Bengals

Nugent knocked home five field goals in Week 1 and will continue to contribute as long as the team struggles to put it into the end zone. Atlanta will force Cincy into a high-scoring affair, so expect Nugent to be active again this Sunday in the shootout.

Week 2 Matchup: (vs. ATL)
