Week 6 Rankings (2016): Top 15 Kickers

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


by Ray Kuhn

Aside from this week’s Saints’ game, there aren’t many games that jump off the page as far as high point totals. Of course that doesn’t mean all kickers are created equal, although you are forgiven for thinking that. Let’s take a look at how the kickers rank as we enter Week 6:

  1. Justin Tucker – Baltimore Ravens – at New York Giants
  2. Dan Bailey – Dallas Cowboys – at Green Bay
  3. Steven Hauschka – Seattle Seahawks – vs. Atlanta
  4. Stephen Gostkowski – New England Patriots – vs. Cincinnati
  5. Graham Gano – Carolina Panthers – at New Orleans
  6. Adam Vinatieri – Indianapolis Colts – at Houston
  7. Cairo Santos – Kansas City Chiefs – at Oakland
  8. Chandler Catanzaro – Arizona Cardinals – vs. New York Jets
  9. Mason Crosby – Dallas Cowboys – vs. Dallas
  10. Dan Carpenter – Buffalo Bills – vs. San Francisco
  11. Chris Boswell – Pittsburgh Steelers – at Miami
  12. Brandon McManus – Denver Broncos – at San Diego
  13. Josh Brown – New York Giants – vs. Baltimore
  14. Matt Bryant – Atlanta Falcons – at Seattle
  15. Caleb Sturgis – Philadelphia Eagles – at Washington

Notes:

  • One way to attack the position is to simply look at which teams allow the most points to opposing kickers. That brings us to Jason Myers, who faces the Bears this week. Myers is a middle of the pack kicker who is coming off his bye week and should be available in most leagues. He has converted on four field goals from beyond 40 yards and he is also perfect on his nine extra points attempts.
  • The only issue you can have with the start to Greg Zuerlein’s 2016 season is that he hasn’t had enough opportunities. Zuerlein has yet to miss a kick, and he is at it again from long distance, converting on all nine of his field goal attempts, including two from beyond 50 yards, and each of his seven extra points. I would look for that trend to continue.
  • Who knew that Tom Brady returning would lead to a bad week for Stephen Gostkowski? That is what happens when the Patriots offense gets rolling and scores four touchdowns. Gostkowski actually missed his third field goal of the season, but two of those are from beyond 40 yards. I wouldn’t be concerned about Gostkowski who is also perfect on all 13 of his extra point attempts.
