Cameron Dicker - Los Angeles Chargers vs. Indianapolis Colts

Cameron Dicker has been nearly perfect during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He has successfully converted 16 of his 17 field goal attempts, while scoring on all 16 of his extra-point attempts. He should have plenty of opportunities to score in the high-powered Los Angeles Chargers offense facing off against the struggling Indianapolis Colts.

Jason Myers - Seattle Seahawks vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Jason Myers is one of only six kickers to exceed 130 fantasy points during the 2022 NFL season. He successfully converted on an impressive 63 of his 65 total kicking attempts. He could be in for a busy day in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs in a potential shootout.

Eddy Pineiro - Carolina Panthers vs. Detroit Lions

Eddy Pineiro has quietly been one of the best kickers during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He has finished inside the top eight kickers in five of his last seven games, while being perfect on field goal attempts in each of his last six games. The Detroit Lions allow the most total points per game. Pineiro is a solid streaming option in Week 16.

NFL Week 16 Fantasy Football Kickers: Sit 'Em

Brandon McManus - Denver Broncos vs. Los Angeles Rams

Brandon McManus has been extremely disappointing in during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. His 10 missed kicking attempts entering Week 16 are the most in the entire NFL. Despite his elite ability to convert from long-range, he can't be trusted in fantasy lineups.

Younghoe Koo - Atlanta Falcons vs. Baltimore Ravens

Younghoe Koo missed four total field goal attempts during his first two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons. The 2022 season has been a much different story as he has already missed five field goal attempts. While he's previously been a reliable kicking option in Fantasy Football, he holds much less value this year.

Matt Prater - Arizona Cardinals vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Matt Prater has been relatively reliable during the 2022 Fantasy season, recording three top-ten finishes. His situation has recently changed. The Arizona Cardinals announced Trace McSorley is making his first start of the 2022 season in Week 16. It's hard to imagine the Cardinals scoring many points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' solid defense. This makes Prater an extremely risky option in the fantasy playoffs.
