Week 6 Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings and Picks feat. Matt Prater and Chase McLaughlin

Week 6 of the 2025 fantasy football season has arrived and it's now time for managers to start preparing their starting lineups. The best way to full optimize final scores is to have specific strategy for all positions. This includes kickers as their scores count just as much as any other player each week.

The best weekly kickers often show off a combination of having an efficient history and are also playing in favorable situations. Games projected to have high sores in a given week will often give kickers the most opportunities and those who consistently convert on their attempts usually produce the most points.

Using this strategy helps to generate the folling list of potential kickers to target, as well as the full weekly fantasy football rankings for the position.

Fantasy Football Week 6 Kicker Picks

Week 6 Kickers

#3 - Matt Prater, Buffalo Bills

Matt Prater has been excellent filling in as the Buffalo Bills kicker while Tyler Bass continues to recover from an injury. The veteran has successfully converted on 25 of his 26 total kicking attempts and has finished as the weekly K9 or better three times in five games. He has plenty of value in Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons playing in a dome stadium.

#2 - Harrison Butker, Kansas City Chiefs

Harrison Butker has struggled a bit with his efficiency this year, already missing five kicking attempts through the first five weeks of the 2025 fantasy football season. He has still finished as the K9 or better three times as the Kansas City Chiefs often give him plenty of scoring opportunities. This should be the case in a potential shootout in Week 6 against the Detroit Lions.

#1 - Chase MaLaughlin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Chase McLaughlin has missed four kicking attempts this year, but it hasn't stopped him from being currently ranked as the overall K1 in fantasy football. He has also finished as the K6 or better in each of the past three weeks, making 11 field goals for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during this stretch. He is an elite option in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers.
