Top Kicker Streamers for Week 6
Only players rostered in fewer than 65% of fantasy football leagues are considered potential streamers.
Joshua Karty (LAR) at Baltimore Ravens
35% Rostered
Joshua Karty was relatively quiet in Week 5, going just 1-of-2 on field-goal attempts and going 2-of-3 on extra points. However, he will have a prime matchup to bounce back on Sunday, facing the Baltimore Ravens. Through five weeks, the Ravens have surrendered the second-most PPR points to opposing kickers.
Their defense has been among the worst in the sport, which should allow Matthew Stafford (who is playing at a near-MVP level) to push the Rams downfield all afternoon. In the first four games of the campaign, Karty went 8-of-10 on field goals and 10-of-11 on extra points.
Jason Myers (SEA) at Jacksonville Jaguars
25% Rostered
Similar to Karty, Myers is also coming off a disappointing showing, which has likely led frustrated managers to cut ties with the longtime Seattle kicker. In Week 5, Myers went 0-of-1 on his lone attempt, but did knock in all five extra points.
During the first four games of the campaign, Myers has made at least two field goals in all but one game, gone 9-of-12 in total, and a perfect 12-of-12 on extra points. More importantly, Myers made at least one field goal from 50+ yards in Weeks 2 through 4, suggesting that he has a relatively high ceiling for formats that provide bonus points for longer conversions.

Matt Gay (WSH) vs. Chicago Bears
50% Rostered
After his slow start, Matt Gay is quickly approaching must-start territory. In Weeks 1 and 2, Gay went 1-of-3 on attempts and appeared to potentially be in danger of losing the starting job. However, since this rough start, Gay has gone 8-of-9 on field goals and a perfect 9-of-9 on extra points.
During this stretch, Gay has nailed both of his 50+ yard attempts and attempted the last three field goals in all but one game. He has a prime matchup on Monday evening to stay against the Bears in what could be a shootout given the hefty 49.5 O/U point total. Gay is a top option for those in shallower formats.

Cairo Santos (CHI) at Washington Commanders
5% Rostered
Another kicker to consider streaming is on the other side of this Monday night showdown, Cairo Santos. Santos is coming off an impressive 4-of-4 showing in Week 4, where he converted on both of his attempts from 50+ yards out. While he only went 1-of-3 in the three games, the Bears offense is beginning to move downfield effectively and will provide Santos with ample scoring opportunities.
While he only held a modest 84.0% FG% rate last season, he only missed one attempt from 50+ yards, indicating his ceiling is quite high when given the opportunity. In this potential high-scoring affair, expect the Bears to lean on Santos to put points on the board to keep up with the Washington Commanders.
Cam Little (JAC) vs. Seattle Seahawks
30% Rostered
Cam Little was not asked to do much on Monday evening as he nailed his lone field-goal attempt and added four extra points. However, he may have a much better game script against a Seattle defense that has allowed the 12th-most PPR points to opposing kickers this season.
Throughout the opening four games of the campaign, Little made at least two field goals in three of the four games. However, he has yet to attempt a field goal from 50+ yards out. While his offensive environment and matchup will provide him a safe floor, he does not carry as high a ceiling as Myers, as the Jaguars may not provide him opportunities to test his leg.
Michael Badgley (IND) vs. Arizona Cardinals
5% Rostered
Spencer Shrader was on track to potentially end the overall K1 play in a high-octane Indianapolis offense. However, in Week 5, Shrader suffered a season-ending ACL and MCL tear, which put him on IR. As a result, Michael Badgley is now poised to take over kicking duties for the Colts.
Badgley last appeared in an NFL game back in 2023 with the Lions. Through four games, he went 4-of-4 on attempts but 13-of-15 on extra points. From 2022-23, Badgley went 28-of-32 on field goals and a solid 46-of-48 on extra points. While he does come with some risk, given his lack of recent experience, he will likely face a struggling Arizona defense that allows the ninth-most PPR points to opposing kickers.
Managers in deeper formats may find some sneaky upside here, as Shrader attempted at least three field goals in all but one game.
