NFL Fantasy Football Week 14: Kicker Rankings

Modified Dec 11, 2022 09:00 GMT

Daniel Carlson and Tyler Bass are two of the leading fantasy football kickers through Week 13

Week 14 is going to be a strong week for kickers in fantasy football, but just who are the best-ranked players in the position?

Daniel Carlson is back in the running to be considered the best kicker in the NFL after a strong Week 13 performance. Justin Tucker is also continuing to keep pressure on Tyler Bass in the #1 spot.

Bass’ rise through the 2022 season has been remarkable, especially as the Bills have struggled to dominate games like they did at the beginning of the year.

Tucker is the veteran presence and is reliable, while Carlson has completely come through a testing midseason period where the Las Vegas Raiders just couldn’t get anything going on offense.

Who are the best available fantasy football kickers in Week 14?

#1 - Tyler Bass – Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets

Tyler Bass remains the most productive kicker in fantasy football through Week 13.

After a slow start to the year, Bass has raced up these rankings and now has amassed a total of 120 points.

He’s averaged around 10.0 points per game, which sees him lead the NFL in this category.

Bass has made 88.9% of all his field goal attempts this season, which, at this moment, is a career-high.

He has also missed just one extra-point attempt out of 36. He is a reliable kicker and will get points against the Jets.

#2 - Justin Tucker – Baltimore Ravens @ Pittsburgh Steelers

Justin Tucker continues to be a reliable presence in a Ravens team that is difficult to assess.

Lamar Jackson’s injury is going to have a real impact on the offense. They won’t be able to finish drives as well without their quarterback. This could increase Tucker’s field goal chances.

He has made 89.3% of his field goals, which is a drop from a 2021 return of 94.6%. Baltimore already had the fifth-highest average number of field goal attempts per game, and this is likely to increase now.

#3 - Daniel Carlson – Las Vegas Raiders @ Los Angeles Rams

Daniel Carlson has bounced back. From being the undisputed best fantasy football kicking option at the start of the season, he had to undergo an awful middle of the year.

He is back now, getting 3.3 field goal attempts on average across his last three games, and he scored 11 points in Week 13.

The Rams are a mess. They continue to be without Matthew Stafford at QB, and their team is falling apart in other areas. They just want this season to be over. You can bet on Carlson scoring serious fantasy football points in this Week 14 game.

#4 - Jason Myers – Seattle Seahawks vs. Carolina Panthers

Jason Myers makes this list as one of the more consistent kickers in fantasy football. He scored 10 points in Week 13 and will take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 14.

He is averaging 9.7 fantasy football points per game and is arguably the most reliable kicker in the NFL in 2022.

He has attempted 24 field goals through Week 13 and has made 23 of them. That equates to a staggeringly high 95.8% success rate. If he gets chances against Carolina, then he is going to convert.

$5 - Greg Zuerlein – New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills

Greg the Leg catapulted himself back into the top five with a stupendous performance in Week 13.

While the Atlanta Falcons’ bye week sees him make this particular list, his return of 19 fantasy football points last week was the joint-highest in the NFL.

The New York Jets face a difficult game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. However, the news that Von Miller will be absent is likely to make life easier for the Jets offense.

This will lead to longer drives, more plays and potentially more chances at field goals.

Zuerlein has made 23 of 27 attempts in 2022, which isn’t the best return among elite kickers, but he is still someone you’d trust to make pressure kicks.

With a lot of the aforementioned kickers likely to be taken in fantasy leagues already, players need to be smart and proactive when selecting their kicker on a weekly basis.

Zuerlein may not be on many fantasy rosters, so you could take a chance on him.

His confidence has soared since Week 13. He is going up against a defense that is missing its best player, and he is able to make long field goals. His 60-yard attempt against Minnesota last week was a thing of pure beauty.
