Week 9 Fantasy Football Rankings: Kickers

Week 9 Fantasy Football Rankings: Kickers image

Kickers are the source of happiness and agony in fantasy football. It's happiness when your kicker has a dominating day, and it's agony when your kicker gets only two extra points while your opponent happened to pick up a kicker that week and goes a perfect five-for-five like Matt Prater.

After three weeks of finishing in the top two among kickers, the Vikings Kai Forbath will get to rest his weary leg along with the kickers from the Bears, Browns, Chargers, Steelers and Patriots.  Despite the departure of Stephen Gostkowski, Chris Boswell and Forbath, the top two kickers in fantasy, Greg Zuerlein and Ryan Succop, return with four other kickers. No kickers were injured in the aftermath of Week 8, and for now, it seems like all kickers have a safe job (although Gostkowski continues to miss PATs, and we know Bill Belichick probably isn't happy about that), but we'll be on top of it if anything changes, so check back often.

If you're one of the many teams searching for a kicker this week, find your source of happiness - not agony - with our Week 9 kicker rankings.
