#3 - Jason Myers, Seattle Seahawks
Jason Myers has been a solid fantasy football kicker during his career with the Seattle Seahawks. In six seasons with the franchise, he has finished as the overall K13 or better five times.
The veteran has finished as a career-best K4 for three different seasons, including in two of the past three years. He has been even better than that in 2025 as he currently as the K3 ahead of his Week 5 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what could be a high-scoring game.
#2 - Spencer Shrader, Indianapolis Colts
Spencer Shrader appeared in just four games last season, but successfully converted on all 14 of his total kicking attempts. This resulted in him earning the starting kicker job for the Indianapolis Colts this year.
He has continued his elite efficiency so far by making 25 of his 26 total attempts and currently ranks as the K1 through the first four weeks of the season. This includes weekly finishes of K1 and K3 when playing in his home stadium, where he will again play this week when he takes on the Las Vegas Raiders in the dome.
#1 - Tyler Loop, Baltimore Ravens
Tyler Loop was given the major challenge of replacing Justin Tucker, one of the best kickers in NFL history. He has responded in a big way in his debut season with the Baltmiore Ravens by converting on 21 of his 22 attempts so far.
His only miss came on an extra point attempt in his first career game, but he has been perfect since then. He currently ranks as the K9 overall and is a solid option in a matchup with the Houston Texans' defense that is difficult to score touchdowns against.
