As always, kickers on good offenses with strong legs will lead the charge, and that’s why Greg Zuerlein (Rams) and Harrison Butker (Chiefs) are rated highly on this list. Additionally, there are a couple of studs at the kicker position, as Justin Tucker (Ravens) and Wil Lutz (Saints) have consistently performed well in recent years and are surely draftable prospects next season.

One of the major things to watch at kicker is, as always, player movement and possibly, retirement. Both Adam Vinatieri (46) and Matt Bryant (43) are nearing the end of their fantastic careers, and they could elect to retire at any time. Considering that they have been perennial fantasy starters for the better part of the past decade, they will need to be monitored. If either retires, it could open up space for some new risers at the kicker position; but if they return, they could easily find themselves in the top 10 in August.
At the end of the day, don’t waste a ton of time on kickers, but it never hurts to familiarize yourself with some of the top names at the position.
