Week 12 Rankings: Top 15 Kickers
As I always say, do not disregard the potential value of a kicker to your fantasy roster. Let’s take a look at how I rank them for fantasy Week 12:
- David Akers - Philadelphia Eagles - vs. Washington
- Nate Kaeding - San Diego Chargers - vs. Kansas City
- Mason Crosby - Green Bay Packers - at Detroit
- Stephen Gostkowski - New England Patriots - at New Orleans
- John Carney - New Orleans Saints - vs. New England
- Lawrence Tynes - New York Giants - at Denver
- Ryan Longwell - Minnesota Vikings - vs. Chicago
- Nick Folk - Dallas Cowboys - vs. Oakland
- Jason Elam - Atlanta Falcons - vs. Tampa Bay
- Dan Carpenter - Miami Dolphins - at Buffalo
- Neil Rackers - Arizona Cardinals - at Tennessee
- Shayne Graham - Cincinnati Bengals - vs. Cleveland
- Rob Bironas - Tennessee Titans - vs. Arizona
- Olinda Mare - Seattle Seahawks - at St. Louis
- Matt Stover - Indianapolis Colts - at Houston
Thoughts:
- Having connected on 10 kicks of 40 yards or more and facing one of the toughest defenses in the league, is it hard to imagine Akers having a big day?
- While Lawrence Tynes has struggled at times this season, he’s one of the biggest point gainers in the league among kickers, thanks in part to the Giants constant struggles in the red zone. Denver is one of the best defenses in the league, allowing 183 points on the season, so it is very possible the Giants are held to a few field goals this week.
What are your thoughts? Who was left off the list? Who should be higher? Who should be lower?
