The last week of the fantasy football regular season is always a bittersweet time, at least for those out of postseason contention. You'll inevitably miss squaring off against your friends every week, but you definitely won't miss worrying about who you're starting at kicker every week. Fortunately, you can always leave that up to us, and our Week 14 fantasy kicker rankings are here to help if you've already checked out on the season.
We saw the weather take a bit of a turn last week, so it's more important than ever to pay attention to the forecasts and try to get solid indoor options if possible. Fortunately, there are five indoor games this week with some high-scoring kickers in action.
With all that in mind, let's get to it and break down our Week 14 kicker rankings.
Which kickers are on bye in Week 14?
Only the Cardinals (Matt Prater) and Commanders (Joey Slye) are on bye this week, so fantasy owners don't lose much, as both kickers rank in the 20s for fantasy points this year.
WEEK 14 PPR RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs
However, we do lose a potential indoor matchup (Cardinals) and a matchup against the defense that entered last week tied for the most fantasy points per game (FPPG) allowed to kickers (Commanders).
WEEK 14 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs
Who are the best fantasy kickers in Week 14?
Matt Gay (@ Bengals in Week 14), Younghoe Koo (vs. Buccaneers), Blake Grupe (vs. Panthers), Brandon Aubrey (vs. Eagles), and Jake Elliott (@ Cowboys) make up our top five this week. Four of the five are kicking indoors, which, as we saw last week, can be huge this time of year. Even though Gay is outdoors, he's been one of the most consistently solid kickers all season and gets a top-10 matchup.
Dustin Hopkins (vs. Jaguars), Justin Tucker (vs. Rams), Brandon McManus (@ Browns), Cameron Dicker (vs. Broncos), and Jason Sanders (vs. TItans) round out our top 10. There are some potentially worrisome weather spots for these kickers, so make sure to monitor the forecasts. Overall, though, these are all steady options who should be solid in mostly favorable matchups.
WEEK 14 FANTASY ADVICE:
Sleepers | Busts | Projections | Start-sit
Who are the best fantasy kicker sleepers in Week 14?
Gay (@ Bengals) and Grupe (vs. Panthers) are still owned in fewer than 50 percent of fantasy leagues, so they're the top "sleepers" of the week if you can acquire them. There are plenty more worthwhile options, though, some of which are "safer" than a few of the higher-ranked kickers, at least in terms of weather and matchups.
If you're looking for someone indoors, you can try Wil Lutz (@ Chargers), Chase McLaughlin (@ Falcons), or Daniel Carlson (vs. Vikings). McLaughlin and Carlson also have top-10 matchups, making them prime options. Going deeper, Greg Joseph (@ Raiders) and Eddy Pineiro (@ Saints) can also work if you don't want to worry about weather.
Matchup-wise, Evan McPherson (vs. Colts), Matt Ammendola (@ Jets), Jake Moody (vs. Seahawks), and Chris Boswell (vs. Patriots) are all facing defenses that entered Week 13 in the top 10 in FPPG allowed to kickers.
