Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings: Kickers

It was the fourth straight week a kicker reached the 20-point mark, as Kai Forbath went a perfect 6-for-6 on FGs and a not-so-perfect 0-1 on PATs. In Week 8, the top kickers on the top offenses play against weak defenses, making it very possible that one of our top-ranked players in our Week 8 fantasy kicker rankings could make it a fifth-straight week of a 20-point performance. 

Six kickers are resting their legs this week, including the top two in the fantasy, Greg Zuerlein and Ryan Succop, Fortunately, one of the top kickers in fantasy returns in Matt Prater.  For the first time all year, the kicker rankings will need to be updated based on an injury, thanks to Dan Bailey (groin).  He's expected to miss several weeks, so we'll be waiting for the Cowboys to name a replacement.  Also, we're on the lookout to see if a kicker gets the can for the fourth-straight week. It was the Jaguars' Jason Myers after Week 6, Bucs' Nick Folk after Week 5, and Chargers' Younghoe Koo after Week 4 (that's my third straight Koo reference, even though he's out the league for three weeks -- we still miss you).

If you're one of the many teams searching for a kicker this week, don't look further than our Week 8 kicker rankings to find the top kicker this week and start that coveted 20-point kicker.

Note: We'll update our rankings throughout the week if weather looks like it will be a major factor for any of these kickers.
