Kickers … love them or hate them, they’re still a part of most fantasy football leagues. They can sometimes be pretty valuable too … just ask anyone who had Brandon Aubrey in 2023 or Chris Boswell last season. So rather than poopoo the position, fantasy managers should have at least some level of knowledge about how it has been affected in the offseason.

The biggest move was the Baltimore Ravens releasing Justin Tucker and replacing him with a rookie in Tyler Loop. Another rookie, Andres Borregales, will compete with John Parker Romo for the top spot in New England. Matt Gay was released by the Indianapolis Colts and signed by the Washington Commanders, who, in turn, released Zane Gonzalez. Also, the Green Bay Packers signed veteran Brandon McManus to a three-year contract extension.

Now that you’re caught up, here’s a look at my updated 2025 fantasy kicker rank lists.
