The fantasy football playoffs are here, and the kicker rankings are back in action for the big week. Brandon Aubrey led the way in Week 14 with over 20 points to push teams to the playoffs. But the rest of the position is strong, making your decisions hard. If you need a kicker for the playoffs, our fantasy football rankings are here to help.
There are no byes in Week 15 or the rest of the fantasy football season. That is huge for the kicker position, as all of the playoff teams can lock in their kicker for the rest of the run. There are not many injuries to note at the position, and no big changes coming into Week 15. Blake Grupe is with the Indianapolis Colts now, and Charlie Smyth took over for him with the New Orleans Saints.
Who leads the way for fantasy football kickers in Week 15?
Aubrey changes Cowboys games every time he walks onto the field. He hit all five field goal attempts on Thursday Night Football against the Lions, changing fantasy football matchups too. He is one of the top scorers in fantasy this year, continuing a great career. Against the Minnesota Vikings at home, Aubrey should get plenty of opportunities. And knowing his track record, he’ll probably make them.
Chris Boswell has had a great season as well, but the Pittsburgh Steelers don’t have as great an offense. He has a big leg, which is always good for some fantasy football points. And riding the momentum after their big win over the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh has the Miami Dolphins coming up next. They should be able to move the ball against Miami, which should lead to Boswell chances.
Jason Myers has the most fantasy football points on the season, largely thanks to the great offense of the Seattle Seahawks. With the limping Indianapolis Colts coming to town on Sunday, Sam Darnold should be moving up and down the field on Sunday. Myers has been a stalwart for the Seahawks in recent years and could lead your fantasy football team to a championship.
Nick Folk has been sensational this year, missing just one field goal for the New York Jets. Now, the Jets’ offense is a disaster, and Brady Cook could be starting on Sunday. But if you need a kicker for a playoff matchup, you can do much worse than Folk. At 41 years old, he is 23-for-24 on field goals and is perfect on 19 extra-point opportunities. He won’t rack up the score, but he also won’t put you into the negatives.
There are certainly kickers better than Ryan Fitzgerald, but the Carolina Panthers play the New Orleans Saints with the NFC South lead on the line. Fitzgerald has made a few clutch kicks, including the one that beat the Green Bay Packers earlier in the season. He is only 2-for-4 on attempts over 50 yards,...
