Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em 2022 NFL Week 14: Kicker rankings

Modified Dec 11, 2022 08:30 GMT

Kickers require a specific strategy in Fantasy Football to optimize their position, just like all other NFL players. While many fantasy managers often ignore their kickers, those who put forth the extra effort to get the most out of this position can gain an extra advantage. Kickers contribute to a final fantasy score and should be treated that way to maximize the lineup's potential.

One of the best strategies for kickers in Fantasy Football is to target those who are highly efficient while also playing in a matchup that could be a potential shootout. It's a simple formula where more opportunities and a higher rate of conversion on those chances should equate to more fantasy points.

This may help provide managers with potential kicking targets in Week 14 of the 2022 Fantasy Football season.

Cameron Dicker - Los Angeles Chargers vs. Miami Dolphins

Cameron Dicker has been nearly perfect since taking over as the full-time kicker for the Los Angeles Chargers. He missed just one of his 13 field goal attempts while successfully converting on all 12 of his extra-point attempts.

Dicker faces off against the Miami Dolphins in Week 14 in a matchup that's projected to be one of the highest-scoring games of the week.

Jason Myers - Seattle Seahawks vs. Carolina Panthers

Jason Myers has been one of the best overall kickers during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He is one of only four full-time kickers averaging more than 9.5 fantasy points per game this year.

Myers has a great chance of keeping his strong season going when he faces the Carolina Panthers. The Seattle Seahawks are expected to have plenty of scoring opportunities.

Michael Badgley - Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings

Michael Badgley has been nearly perfect during the 2022 NFL season. He has successfully converted on all 18 of his extra-point attempts, while recording just one missed field goal in 16 attempts.

The Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings face off in what should be a shootout in Week 14, so Badgley should see plenty of kicking chances.

NFL Week 14 Fantasy Football Kickers: Sit 'Em

Jake Elliot - Philadelphia Eagles vs. New York Giants

While the Philadelphia Eagles have been one of the highest-scoring teams during the 2022 NFL season, Jake Elliot has only attempted 11 field goals. He has also missed two of them.

Opportunities to score may be difficult to come by in Week 14 against the New York Giants. The game could potentially be a low-scoring defensive battle.

Robbie Gould - San Francisco 49ers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The San Francisco 49ers may find it difficult to get their offense going in Week 14. Third-string quarterback Brock Purdy will be making his first career start and it comes against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' stout defense.

This may mean fewer kicking opportunities for Robbie Gould. He ranks 14th in total points during the 2022 Fantasy Football season so far.

Cade York - Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Cade York has been one of the most inefficient kickers during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. His 76 percent conversion rate on field goals is the worst mark by any kicker with more than 25 attempts.

He has also missed two of his extra-point attempts. York can be avoided in Week 14 and beyond until he proves he can be more reliable.
