2025 Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings And Auction Draft Values

Kickers are the Rodney Dangerfield of fantasy football … the position simply gets no respect. (if you’re not familiar with Dangerfield, look him up.)
In fact, there are many leagues out there that have eliminated kickers altogether! It’s based on most kickers bring interchangeable in a lot of cases, which is the reason not one is being picked, on average, in the top 180 overall picks based on the average draft position (ADP) on FantasyPros.
Here's my top 32 fantasy kickers for this season, including bye week information and the maximum amount of dollars you should spend on them in an auction draft ($200 salary cap).
