Kicker is not a position that most of us give much thought to when it comes to constructing our fantasy rosters. At least, not until we have to, when our incumbent kicker leaves us a few points short in a close loss or has to be replaced in a bye.
That’s why it’s important to know which kickers are the best options each week (and likely available). FTW has the answers here. But first…
Top performers of week 8
-
Chris Boswell, Pittsburgh Steelers (14 points)
-
Jake Elliott, Philadelphia Eagles (13 points)
-
Brandon McManus, Green Bay Packers (12 points)
-
Anders Carlson, San Francisco 49ers (12 points)
-
Greg Joseph, New York Giants (12 points)
-
Austin Seibert, Washington Commanders (12 points)
5. Chad Ryland, Arizona Cardinals (vs. Chicago Bears)
Ryland posted his second-highest point total of the season last week with eight points, which isn’t a lot, but it’s good considering it was only his fourth game. He has a similar game against Chicago this week.
4. Greg Joseph, New York Giants (vs. Washington Commanders)
New York’s inability to finish drives worked very well in a 12-point week for Joseph, even against a Steelers team allowing the third-fewest points to kickers. So I’m not too concerned about commanders allowing fourth minus.
3. Cameron Dicker, Los Angeles Chargers (at Cleveland Browns)
Dicker has 33 points over the past three weeks. I expect his strong usage to continue against the Browns this week.
2. Jason Myers, Seattle Seahawks (vs. Los Angeles Rams)
Myers’ opportunities have been limited this season, but he has yet to miss a single kick. Sunday’s game against the Rams will be the best kicking game he’s had this season outside of the 10-point game he had against the Falcons.
1. Austin Seibert, Washington Commanders (New York Giants)
Seibert leads all Fantasy kickers in scoring this season, but remains rostered in less than 65% of Yahoo leagues. He would be a pickup even if the Commanders didn’t have a good game against the Giants.
