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 10
-
Joshua Karty, Los Angeles Rams (15 points)
-
Joey Slye, New England Patriots (13 points)
-
Tyler Bass, Buffalo Bills (12 points)
-
John Parker Romo, Minnesota Vikings (12 points)
5. Wil Lutz, Denver Broncos (vs. Atlanta Falcons)
Lutz should be higher on this list considering the Falcons allow the most points to kickers in the NFL. But matchups rarely mattered when Lutz failed to score even five points in five of his last seven games, including the last three. Either way, it’s a good place to get away.
4. Dustin Hopkins, Cleveland Browns (to New Orleans Saints)
Coming off the bye, the Browns visit the Superdome where Hopkins should have optimal hitting conditions against a Saints team that has given up a decent number of points to kickers this year.
3. John Parker Romo, Minnesota Vikings (vs. Tennessee Titans)
After Parker Romo made the top four in his Vikings debut last week, how can we not go back to him here in what is a great kicker matchup against the Titans.
2. Brandon McManus, Green Bay Packers (vs. Chicago Bears)
Coming off the bye, with a matchup against the Bears’ struggling offense, I expect the Packers to spend a lot of time in Chicago territory and put McManus in a position to put up big points.
1. Jason Sanders, Miami Dolphins (vs. Las Vegas Raiders)
With a season-high 11 points last week, the trend continues to improve for Sanders since Tagovailoa’s return. That should continue this week against a Raiders team allowing the second-most points to kickers.
