The kicker position is one of the most overlooked and volatile spots in fantasy football. As the 2025 season enters Week 12 and winter weather becomes a real factor, identifying the right kicker becomes even more critical. With cold fronts, swirling winds, and snow beginning to wreak havoc across parts of the NFL, targeting kickers in dome stadiums, warm-weather cities, or high-scoring offenses has never been more important. Let’s take a deep dive into the Week 12 kicker rankings and highlight the studs and sleepers who could swing your matchup.
Kicker performance fluctuates dramatically week to week. Matchups do matter. However, weather remains the defining variable. It’s far more influential than opponent tendencies or red-zone efficiency. As November transitions into December, savvy fantasy football managers must prioritize controlled environments. Indoors and in fair-weather stadiums, kickers historically see a spike in accuracy and distance. Of course, that boosts both floor and ceiling.
That also makes Week 12 particularly interesting. A handful of top-tier kickers have high-value indoor matchups. Meanwhile, others must navigate potentially difficult weather. The byes also thin out the player pool. We have four reliable fantasy options not seeing action. The injury report includes Eddy Pineiro (hamstring), and his availability for this weekend remains uncertain.
With that in mind, here are the kickers who stand out above the rest and the hidden gems waiting to boost your lineup in Week 12.
Brandon Aubrey has become one of the most consistent weapons in fantasy football. Week 12 sets up as another strong opportunity. In Monday’s 33-16 win over the Raiders, Aubrey drilled his only field-goal attempt. He also converted all four extra points. Yes, Dallas’ offense didn’t stall often enough to give him multiple field-goal chances. That said, he remains one of the most accurate and dependable kickers in the league.
Aubrey has attempted just 19 field goals through 10 games. Still, he’s missed only once. That was a 68-yard try in windy conditions. Indoors against the Eagles, he gains a major weather advantage.
Myers converted four of his five field-goal attempts and hit his lone extra point in Sunday’s 21–19 loss to the Rams. Still, he served as Seattle’s most reliable source of offense in Week 11. He drilled kicks from 57, 30, and 22 yards in the first half before adding a 29-yarder after halftime.
He has now made at least two field goals in four of his past five outings and in seven games overall this season. For the year, he’s 21-of-26 on field-goal tries. He has also remained perfect on extra points, going 33-for-33 through 10 games. Myers’ floor is rock solid, and his ceiling rises significantly if Seattle’s offense stalls on a few promising drives.
The Patriots have been rejuvenated offensively thanks to Drake Maye’s steady improvement and TreVeyon Henderson’s breakout performances. As a result,...
