Targeting kickers in fantasy football isn’t much different than other positions. We’re looking for a combination of talent and opportunity. Opportunity is just tougher to pin down week to week thanks to the variance in how an NFL game can play out. Therefore, we want kickers who we know can capitalize on the opportunity when they get a chance, and those who play on offenses that are likely to be in “scoring position” more than others are likely to get more chances. Kickers that play home games in an ideal weather environment (domes) also see a slight boost in our rankings.
Here’s how we’re viewing kicker tiers in 2024 based on talent and opportunity.
*Kicker’s home games are played in a dome. AKA “Dome Field Advantage”
Tier 1: High Floor, High Ceiling
Justin Tucker (BAL) – It’s impossible to make a kicker tiers article without Tucker in the top group. Tucker has finished outside the top seven among fantasy kickers just once in his 12-year career, ranking 11th in points per game in 2014. He’s the league’s best kicker and a reliable one for a top-five fantasy finish. His 90.2% conversion rate on field goal attempts remains the best mark by a kicker in NFL history.
