Week 12 Fantasy Football Rankings: Kickers

That thin air in Mexico City did wonders for Stephen Gostkowski, as he hit a 62-yard FG with plenty of room to spare and was the top kicker in fantasy -- as we predicted -- last week. This week, Justin Tucker gets the top spot in our Week 12 kicker rankings, followed by Ryan Succop and Chris Boswell, both looking to produce back-to-back top-five finishes. 

Week 12 brings the end of bye weeks, and those fantasy teams with the top kickers, like Greg Zuerlein, Kai Forbath, Matt Prater and Will Lutz, among others, likely won't be seen in free agency (and if they are, you should probably pick them up), but that doesn't mean these rankings are for naught. Not everyone has the best kicker, and as fantasy teams make that push toward the playoffs, kickers are just as pivotal to winning as any other position -- as we saw last week when many fantasy teams got next to nothing from Philadelphia's Jake Elliott after he exited early due to a head injury. For now, Elliott remains in our rankings, though he'll need to clear concussion protocol in order to play this week. Keep a close eye on that situation.

As we've said before, kickers can win or lose your fantasy matchup, so make sure you win by double-checking your kicking options with our Week 12 kicker rankings. And here's how you could lose in fantasy in Week 12.

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