Top 5 kickers for 2025 fantasy football

Kicker rankings

#5 - Wil Lutz, Denver Broncos

Wil Lutz greatly benefited from an improved Denver Broncos offense last season with additional scoring opportunities. He bounced back from a K22 finish in the year before to finish as the K8 overall. He has now finished among the top 12 kickers in six of eight completed seasons, including doiing so in five consecutive years with the New Orleans Saints previously.

#4 - Cameron Dicker, Los Angeles Chargers

Cameron Dicker has been excellent in fantasy football across his past two seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers, finishing as the K3 and K8. He has successfully converted on 70 of his 75 field goald attempts during that time, proving his elite efficiency. The only potential red flag is that he missed three extra point attempts last year.

#3 - Harrison Butker, Kansas City Chiefs

Harrison Butker turned in an extremely disappointing K27 finish last year with the Kansas City Chiefs, but some of this is due to him missing four games with a knee injury. He has never finished lower than the K13 in any of his six completed seasons, so he is an ideal bounce back candidate for the position, especially in a reliable offense that generates plenty of scoring opportunities.

#2 - Jake Bates, Detroit Lions

Jake Bates was impresisve during his rookie season last year with the Detroit Lions, finishing as the K7 in fantasy football. He also finished among the top 12 weekly kickers in ten of his 17 games. Having a dome for a home stadium gives his fantasy outlook an additional boost and makes him one of the best overall kickers to target in 2025 fantasy football drafts.

#1 - Brandon Aubrey, Dallas Cowboys

Brandon Aubrey is undoubtedly the best overall kicker entering the 2025 fantasy football season. He has finished as the overall K1 in each of his two seasons with the Dallas Cowboys so far and has proven to be truly elite for his position. Managers who prioritize kickers in their fantasy drafts would be wise to taregt Aubrey.
