Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em 2022 NFL Week 15: Kicker rankings

Modified Dec 18, 2022 09:30 GMT

Week 15 of the 2022 Fantasy Football season marks the first round of the playoffs in most leagues. Managers who were successful enough to get to this point in the season often know the importance of using a strategy for each position on their team. This helps them optimize their final scores and gain as much of an edge as possible over their opponents.

While kickers often get ignored in Fantasy Football, they shouldn't be. Their fantasy scores are just as crucial to the outcome of a particular matchup as any other player. Optimizing this position requires a specific strategy. One of the best ways to approach the position is by targeting highly efficient kickers while also playing in a potentially high-scoring NFL game.

Ryan Succop - Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Cincinnati Bengals

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will likely need to score a fair amount of points to keep up with the high-powered Cincinnati Bengals offense. This could be good news for Ryan Succop. He has demonstrated an ability to put up big fantasy scores this year, finishing among the top five kickers four times this year.

Brett Maher - Dallas Cowboys vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Brett Maher has been one of the best kickers during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He entered Week 15 ranked in the top five among kickers in total fantasy points scored. The Dallas Cowboys are playing in a potential shootout with the Jacksonville Jaguars this week, so Maher could be busy.

Cameron Dicker - Los Angeles Chargers vs. Tennessee Titans

Cameron Dicker has been one of the most reliable kickers of the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He has converted at the highest percentage of his total kicking attempts than any other kicker with at least 30 attempts. The Tennessee Titans may struggle to slow down the Los Angeles Chargers' pass-heavy offense, so Dicker could be in line for a big day.

NFL Week 15 Fantasy Football Kickers: Sit 'Em

Brandon McManus - Denver Broncos vs. Arizona Cardinals

Brandon McManus has been one of the most disappointing kickers during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He currently leads the NFL with seven missed field goal attempts. He has also missed two extra-point attempts. The Denver Broncos are one of the lowest-scoring teams in the NFL, making McManus a difficult kicker to trust in Fantasy Football.

Younghoe Koo - Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints

The Atlanta Falcons announced rookie Desmond Ridder will be making the first start of his career in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints in a difficult road matchup against a stout defensive unit. This means scoring chances may be hard to come by for the Falcons. Younghoe Koo may not see enough chances in Week 15 to be a useful kicking option.

Mason Crosby - Green Bay Packers vs. Los Angeles Rams

Mason Crosby has attempted the third-fewest field goals of any kicker who has appeared in at least ten games this year. He has further diminished his value in Fantasy Football by missing five of his total kicking attempts. While the Green Bay Packers continue to struggle offensively, Crosby will be an unreliable fantasy kicker.
