Why Kickers Matter in Fantasy Football
Before we dive into the rankings, let's talk about why kickers are crucial in fantasy football. They might not be the most glamorous position, but they can win you weeks. In fact, a reliable kicker can score more points than some of your star wide receivers or running backs on any given Sunday. So, don't sleep on them!
Week 6 Kicker Rankings: The Cream of the Crop
1. Younghoe Koo, Atlanta Falcons
Younghoe Koo has been on fire this season, and he's our top pick for week 6. The Falcons' offense has been struggling, but Koo has been consistent, converting 11 of his 12 field goal attempts and all 13 extra point attempts. He's got a great matchup against the Miami Dolphins, who have given up the second-most fantasy points to kickers this season. Koo's your guy if you're looking for a high-scoring kicker this week.
2. Greg Zuerlein, Dallas Cowboys
Greg "The Leg" Zuerlein is back, baby! After a slow start to the season, Zuerlein has been cooking up some serious points. He's hit all eight of his field goal attempts in the past two games and has a favorable matchup against the New York Giants. The Giants have given up the most fantasy points to kickers this season, so expect Zuerlein to have a big day.
3. Jason Myers, Seattle Seahawks
Jason Myers has been a bit of a rollercoaster this season, but he's our third pick for week 6. He's got a great matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, who have given up the fourth-most fantasy points to kickers. Myers has hit four field goals in each of the past two games, so he's trending upwards.
Sleepers and Streamers
4. Joey Slye, Carolina Panthers
Joey Slye has been a bit of a sleeper this season, but he's worth a look in week 6. He's hit all 10 of his field goal attempts in the past two games and has a favorable matchup against the Chicago Bears. The Bears have given up the fifth-most fantasy points to kickers this season, so Slye could be a sneaky play.
5. Daniel Carlson, Las Vegas Raiders
Daniel Carlson has been a bit of a surprise this season, but he's worth a look if you're in need of a streamer. He's hit all 11 of his field goal attempts in the past two games and has a favorable matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have given up the eighth-most fantasy points to kickers this season, so Carlson could be a sneaky play.
Stay Away
6. Ryan Succop, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Ryan Succop has been a bit of a disappointment this season, and he's not worth starting in week 6. He's got a tough matchup against the Green Bay Packers, who have given up the fewest fantasy points to kickers this season. Succop has also missed three field goals in the past two games, so he's not trending upwards.
7. Wil Lutz, New Orleans Saints
Wil Lutz has been battling injuries all season, and he's not worth starting in week 6. He's got a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, who have given up the seventh-fewest fantasy points to kickers this season. Lutz has also missed two field goals in the past two games, so he's not reliable.
