Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em 2022 NFL Week 11: Kicker rankings

Kickers are one of the few positions managers in Fantasy Football can sometimes ignore. They shouldn't be, as they carry equal importance to the rest of the starting lineup. Kickers' overall scores directly impact the outcome of a fantasy matchup, so wise managers will have a strategy for the position.

Fantasy Football managers who optimize their kickers each week can gain an advantage against those who don't. The added points to the final score may be the difference between winning and losing a given week. It's important to target efficient kickers playing in a potentially high-scoring game each week.

Graham Gano - New York Giants vs. Detroit Lions

Graham Gano ranks among the top five kickers in total fantasy points during the 2022 season. He has successfully converted 18 of his 20 field goal attempts while being perfect on 17 extra-point attempts. His efficiency could lead to a high score against the Detroit Lions. They are the only NFL team allowing more than 30 points per game, so he should have plenty of opportunities to score.

Brett Maher - Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings

Brett Maher is in a favorable situation for Fantasy Football in Week 11. The Dallas Cowboys' game against the Minnesota Vikings is projected to be one of the highest-scoring games this week. Maher has successfully converted on 37 of his 40 kicking attempts this season, so he's an attractive option in this matchup.

Nick Folk - New England Patriots vs. New York Jets

Nick Folk averages the second-most fantasy points per game among all kickers during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He trails only the Baltimore Ravens superstar Justin Tucker. Folk has finished as the highest-scoring kicker three times already this season, including in each of the last two weeks. One of those was against the New York Jets, who we will face off against again in Week 11.

Evan McPherson - Cincinnati Bengals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Evan McPherson was one of the best overall kickers during the 2021 NFL season. His stellar play during the NFL Playoffs helped the Cincinnati Bengals reach the Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams. The 2022 season has been a different story. He has already missed four field goals and two extra points. He will also travel to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11 to one of the most difficult stadiums for kickers.

Greg Joseph - Minnesota Vikings vs. Dallas Cowboys

The Vikings' game against the Cowboys is projected to be one of the highest scoring contests in Week 11. This is usually a favorable situation for kickers in Fantasy Football, but Greg Joseph is still difficult to trust. He leads all NFL players this year with five missed field goals and four failed extra-point attempts.

Younghoe Koo - Atlanta Falcons vs. Chicago Bears

Younghoe Koo has finished inside the top ten kickers in fantasy points four times this season. The issue is that he has gone cold recently. He missed a short field goal attempt in Week 9 agaisnt the Los Angeles Chargers. He followed that u with two missed extra-point attempts in Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers. He can't currently be trusted in Fantasy Football.
