Week 15 Fantasy Rankings: Kickers

Week 15 Fantasy Rankings: Kickers image

Kickers are annoying. One week, they can go out and win you a game, and the next, they can lose one for you. Still, most fantasy football leagues have a kicker slot, and it has to be filled, especially during the fantasy playoffs. Our Week 15 fantasy kicker rankings are here to help you sort through the inconsistent mess that is this frustrating position, but just be warned that kickers are always prone to putting up duds, especially in bad weather.

And this time of the year, it is especially important to pay attention to the weather. With snow and cold weather now a potential issue you don't want to be scrambling to find a kicker right before kickoff on Sunday. This week, some of the better streamers and weather-neutral options include Brandon McManus (vs. Browns, high-altitude), Brett Maher (@ Colts, in a dome), and whoever is kicking for the Panthers (vs. Saints, warmer climate). Of course, things can change rapidly with kickers -- especially relating to weather, even in warm climates -- so there are still concerns at the position.

Week 15 Rankings:
Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End | D/ST

As we've said all year, stick with kickers that are in good offenses and have strong legs. Those are the two factors that matter the most. So, as you look to end up victorious in your fantasy football playoff battles, here are the kickers to target if you need one.

Note: We'll update our rankings throughout the week if weather or injuries figure to be major factors.
