Which Kickers Should You Draft in 2023?
Justin Tucker, Baltimore Ravens
If there is a kicker worth getting before the last two rounds of your draft, Justin Tucker fits the bill. Since 2015, Tucker hasn’t finished outside of the top seven at the kicker position.
DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?!?!

— NFL (@NFL)
His nine field goals made of 50+ yards last season offer plenty of upside for fantasy leagues that reward for longer field goals. There is just very little not to trust when Tucker is your kicker on a weekly basis.
Greg Zuerlein, New York Jets
The New York Jets have a new QB in town who goes by the name of Aaron Rodgers. This should come with more scoring opportunities for the team as a whole.

And if “Greg the Leg” gets a couple more opportunities to attempt longer field goals a game, he’s the last-round kicker I want to target for my squad.
