Week 9 Fantasy Kicker Rankings

Week 9 ranks: QB | RB | WR | TE | K | Team D | Flex
It’s Week 9, fantasy fans! Time flies when you’re having fun (or not, like last week)! We have just two teams on a bye this week, as the Steelers and Titans are off. That means fantasy managers will be without Chris Boswell, a top fantasy kicker who will need to be replaced with a streamer, and Joey Slye. The NFL will return to its international games this week, as the Bengals and Falcons will face off at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain on Sunday.
This week’s rankings include some risers in Cam Little and Cairo Santos. There are a few streaming options based on the matchups—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em later in the week for all the details! Other kickers, like Spencer Shrader and Harrison Butker, are falling due to a recent lack of consistent fantasy production. Managers can easily replace them with a viable streamer.
Here are my fantasy kicker rankings as we head into Week 9. Check back on a regular basis for updates, especially after the final team injury reports come out late in the week!
