Who Are the Best Kickers To Draft In Fantasy?
Justin Tucker
At a position that constantly sees dramatic swings from year to year regarding production, Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been a consistent top option.
Tucker’s Fantasy Production:
- 2023: Second highest-scoring kicker
- 2022: First highest-scoring kicker
- 2021: Third highest-scoring kicker
- 2020: Seventh highest-scoring kicker
- 2019: Third highest-scoring kicker
- 2018: Second highest-scoring kicker
- 2017: Fourth highest-scoring kicker
- 2016: Second highest-scoring kicker
- 2015: Seventh highest-scoring kicker
- 2014: 11th highest-scoring kicker
Tucker has been a top-12 kicker for 10 straight seasons. To say he has been the model of consistency feels like an understatement.
Tucker has the leg power to regularly convert on attempts of 50+ yards. The overall production of the Ravens’ offense last year likely had an impact on the lack of attempts of 50+ yards last year, but his track record should make you feel confident he is still among the elite options at the position.
Even for a player who has been consistently great at the position over his entire career, I’m still unlikely to reach to acquire Tucker’s service on draft day. Yet, I feel like if there is one kicker who is worthy of consideration, Tucker is the best candidate.
Brandon Aubrey
When you are the kicker of the league’s highest-scoring offense, it generally leads to great fantasy success.
When you combine that with 10 makes on 50-yard field goal attempts, then that almost ensures you are going finish the year as the top-scoring kicker in fantasy football.
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is coming off an outstanding season where he converted on 94.7% of his field goal attempts and finished behind only Tucker in extra points made in 2023.
The Cowboys’ offense is projected to still be among the highest-scoring units in the league, which should give the second-year player a path to building off of his outstanding rookie campaign in 2024.
