Week 16 Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings: Eddy Pineiro Moves Into The Top 10
Welcome to Week 16 and the second week of the fantasy football playoffs! If you survived the first round and have advanced, congratulations! Now, let’s go win that league championship!
The NFL schedule no longer has bye weeks, so we’ll get all 32 teams and all our players (at least the healthy ones) who have helped us reach this point in the season. I would also not be afraid to sit a “big name” kicker who has struggled, like Wil Lutz or Evan McPherson, if you have a respectable pivot on your fantasy roster.
This week’s biggest kicker risers are Ka’imi Fairbairn, Eddy Piniero, and Will Reichard, all of whom have great matchups or are playing at an exceeding high level lately. On the flip side, booters like Lutz, McPherson, and Brandon McManus have either seen their fantasy stats decline in recent weeks or could struggle against a tough opponent.
With that said, here are my complete fantasy football kicker rankings for Week 16 of the NFL season! Be sure to check back daily for updates!
