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 overlook the position, fantasy fans 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 (he’s been suspended for the first 10 weeks due to off-field issues) 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 Indianapolis and signed on with Washington.

The Jets released Greg Zuerlein, leaving a battle between Harrison Mevis and Caden Davis for the starting job. Also, the Packers signed veteran Brandon McManus to a three-year contract extension. He’ll be one of the first 10 fantasy kickers selected in many drafts.

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