In a position often defined by volatility, Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season offers fantasy football managers some stability. With only two teams on bye (Colts and Saints), most of the league’s top kickers are back in play. It’s also a week that brings back familiar faces across the board in other positions from their bye-week breaks. It restories order to the offensive rhythm that directly benefits their team kickers.
Meanwhile, dependable legs like Brandon Aubrey, Chase McLaughlin, and Tyler Loop headline this week’s fantasy football kicking options. All are set for favorable matchups that could produce double-digit outings. As the fantasy playoffs draw near, every point matters. That includes those reliable three-pointers that separate contenders from pretenders.
Let’s break down Week 11’s top kicker plays and a few under-the-radar sleepers who could swing your matchup.
It wasn’t a banner performance for Brandon Aubrey in Week 10. He went 2-for-2 on extra points and 1-of-2 on field goals during Dallas’ 27–17 loss to Arizona. Despite that, Aubrey remains one of the more trustworthy legs in fantasy football. The Cowboys’ offense has been inconsistent lately. However, their ability to move the ball into field-goal range should give Aubrey plenty of opportunities to bounce back.
The matchup against Las Vegas is a strong one. The Raiders’ defense has allowed opponents to reach scoring territory frequently. Indoor conditions in Allegiant Stadium also eliminate weather-related concerns. Aubrey is an elite Week 11 kicking option, with a high floor and clear rebound potential.
Chase McLaughlin has cooled off after a hot start to the season. Still, the volume is there. In Week 11, the matchup is better than it looks on paper. The Bills’ defense has struggled in red-zone efficiency, allowing opposing teams to stall drives just outside the 20-yard line. That’s prime real estate for kickers like McLaughlin. He has the accuracy to capitalize when drives falter.
Tampa Bay’s offense should find itself in several scoring positions against Buffalo’s aggressive but inconsistent secondary. McLaughlin’s leg strength gives him a shot at long-range kicks that can quickly boost his total. Yes, he’s not a top-three option. That said, he’s a reliable mid-tier starter with top-five upside in what could become a high-scoring contest.
Few kickers have been as quietly effective as Tyler Loop this season. In Baltimore’s 27–19 victory over Minnesota, Loop hit four of five field goals and his lone extra-point attempt. The Ravens’ offense continues to move the ball well between the 20s. However, red-zone inefficiency has given Loop plenty of opportunities to deliver.
This week, he faces a Cleveland defense that ranks among the toughest in the league. However, they also force teams to settle for field goals. That plays right into Loop’s strength as a steady, high-volume option. Even if Baltimore struggles to score touchdowns, Loop’s reliability from short and...
