Last Sunday, fantasy football owners got a late Halloween treat (or was it an early Christmas present)? Either way, they had reason to give thanks because the weather was perfect virtually everywhere around the league. That's great for all positions, but it's especially nice for kickers. You can't count on continued sunny skies every week going forward, so our Week 10 fantasy kicker rankings are here to help you find the best option no matter what Mother Nature throws our way.
Ideally, you'd have a good kicker in a favorable indoor matchup, and there are several of those in this week's rankings. However, you might not be able to get one, so you need to be ready to pivot should the need arise.
Let's break down our Week 10 rankings and find the best start 'em, sit 'em options at fantasy's most unpredictable position.

Which kickers are on bye in Week 10?
The Eagles (Jake Elliott), Dolphins (Jason Sanders), Chiefs (Harrison Butker), and Rams (Lucas Havrisik) are off this week, taking away two guys who entered last week in the top five among fantasy kickers (Elliott and Butker).
WEEK 10 PPR RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs
We also lose an elite kicker matchup with the Rams being off. L.A. entered last week allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to the position.
WEEK 10 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs
Who are the best fantasy kickers in Week 10?
We have a new No. 1 with Elliott out this week. Our top five consists of Tyler Bass (vs. Broncos in Week 10), Matt Gay (vs. Patriots in Germany), Brandon McManus (vs. 49ers), Dustin Hopkins (@ Ravens), and Brandon Aubrey (vs. Giants). It's always risky having a kicker in Buffalo in November this high in the rankings, but as long as the weather is nice, Bass should come through against a Broncos' defense that entered last week allowing the sixth-most FPPG to kickers.
Gay and Aubrey are kicking indoors, as are Blake Grupe (@ Vikings) and Younghoe Koo (@ Cardinals), who rank Nos. 6 and 7. Jason Myers (vs. Commanders), Nick Folk (@ Buccaneers), and Justin Tucker (vs. Browns) round out our top 10.
WEEK 10 FANTASY ADVICE:

Who are the best fantasy kicker sleepers in Week 10?
McManus (vs. 49ers), Grupe (@ Vikings), Myers (vs. Commanders), and Folk (@ Buccaneers) are all owned in fewer than 50 percent of fantasy leagues, so they make for great pickups if you're down Elliott or Butker. We also like Anders Carlson (@ Steelers), Greg Zuerlein (@ Raiders), Jake Moody (@ Jaguars), Greg Joseph (vs. Saints), and Daniel Carlson (vs. vs. Jets) thanks to matchups and/or favorable conditions.
Zuerlein, Joseph, and Daniel Carlson are indoors, as are Cameron Dicker (vs. Lions), Chad Ryland (vs. Colts in Germany), Matt Prater (vs. Falcons), Riley Patterson (@ Chargers), and Randy Bullock (@ Cowboys). Technically, SoFi Stadium is open-air, but it has a roof, so we're not worried about Dicker or Patterson.
Ryland is not only indoors, but he also has the No. 1 kicker matchup. If you trust kicker matchup stats, you could also try Chase McLaughlin (vs. Titans) or Eddy Pineiero (@ Bears), both of whom have top-five matchups.
