Jackson Sparks breaks down all 2022 fantasy football Week 14 kickers - streamers, starts, sits, targets, avoids, and waiver wire pickups. His Week 14 rankings and tiers for all of the NFL kickers.
The Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, and Washington Commanders are on a bye this week, but those teams don't have high-end fantasy kickers, so Week 14 should be fairly straightforward at the position. That said, even kickers have dealt with injury issues this season, so it's always a good idea to know the pecking order of the position that doesn't get much love. Our Week 14 kicker rankings aim to help fantasy managers sort through all the variables and make the right choice at this tough position to predict.
Chris Boswell (groin) has been placed on injured reserve, but we'll have to monitor the status of Dustin Hopkins (hamstring). Cameron Dicker has kicked well stepping in for Hopkins, so he could keep the job when it's all said and done.
Again, continue to trust big-name kickers like Justin Tucker, Daniel Carlson, and Tyler Bass. For fantasy managers playing the weekly streamer game, we've got you covered.

Kicker Streamers to Target for Week 14
Only players who are rostered in fewer than 50% of fantasy football leagues are considered streamers.
Cade York, Cleveland Browns (at Cincinnati Bengals)
York is the No. 14 overall kicker in total fantasy points this season, and surely, the Browns' offense led by Deshaun Watson will look better as Watson knocks off the rust. This game total is set at 48, so there should be plenty of kicking opportunities for York in the AFC North showdown.
Greg Joseph, Minnesota Vikings (at Detroit Lions)
Joseph got out to a hot start in 2022 but has cooled off in recent weeks. However, this Lions-Vikings matchup sets up for an all-out shootout with a game total of 53. Both offenses are on fire and it's always a good idea to trust kickers who get to play indoors. Expect very little defense in this NFC North rivalry.
Michael Badgley, Detroit Lions (vs. Minnesota Vikings)
There are plenty of reasons to worry about Badgley's upside since Lions' head coach Dan Campbell loves to go for it on fourth downs rather than kicking field goals, but after Badgley scored four field goals and four extra points against the weak Jacksonville Jaguars defense, it's time to roll with him once again. For the same reasons we love Joseph this week, Badgley is in play.
Kicker Busts to Avoid for Week 14
Robbie Gould, San Francisco 49ers (vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
Gould is the No. 9 kicker in total fantasy points this season, but with Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) out for the season and rookie Brock Purdy stepping in, expect this offense to look ugly against at least decent defenses. There are plenty of streaming options with far more upside, so fade the longtime NFL veteran this week until we see how the 49ers' offense adjusts moving forward.
Riley Patterson, Jacksonville Jaguars (at Tennessee Titans)
Patterson was a top-12 kicker for a good stretch of the early part of the season but has fallen outside the top 20 of total fantasy points among kickers. Tennessee's defense has shut down most middle-of-the-road offenses, and this figures to be an ugly "grind-it-out" type of game. Patterson has some upside if Trevor Lawrence and company can take advantage of the Titans' struggling secondary, but the Jags' offense is hot and cold and was shut down by the league-worst defense in Detroit in Week 13.
