Set and forget instead of streaming

These kickers have the best schedule across the whole season, so rostering one all year beats spending a claim every Tuesday.

How to pick a kicker

Two things produce kicker points: an offense that moves the ball, and drives that stall before the end zone. A strong offense against a defense that bends but does not break is the best of both — long fields turn into field goals instead of punts.

Never spend meaningful FAAB here. If the top spot is rostered, the second or third name on the board is close enough that the difference is not worth a dollar you will want in November.

FAQ

How are kicker streamers ranked?
Each kicker is scored on the strength of his own offense, how hard the opposing defense is to score on, and home field. Kickers live on drives that reach scoring range, so a good offense against a stingy red-zone defense is the ideal spot.
Is it worth streaming kickers at all?
The week-to-week spread between the best and worst kicker spot is a few points, which is smaller than at other positions but often larger than the margin in a close matchup. If the claim is free, take the better spot.
When should I just hold one kicker?
When his offense rates well across the whole season. The set-and-forget list at the bottom ranks kickers by their full-season schedule so you can stop spending claims.
Does this update on its own?
Yes, it rolls to the new week automatically and recalculates from the 2026 schedule.
