The top Week 11 kicker streamers, fantasy football pickups and kicker starts for 2025. Target these fantasy kicker streaming options with strong Week 11 matchups.
The position that's most apt to be streamed in fantasy football is easily kicker. The talent of a kicker, in comparison with other players, is the least important factor to consider, as the weekly highest-scoring kickers is often a revolving door.
The most inaccurate kickers tend to get cut pretty quickly, and we've seen them actually be fantastic for fantasy before they were cut, as in the case of former Los Angeles Rams kicker Brett Maher. Opportunities to make field goal attempts are the most important thing by far.
It's hard to predict how many opportunities a kicker will get in a given week, but generally, being on a good offense and facing a bad defense is the best way to get consistent high volume. With that in mind, let's break down four kicker streamers to consider starting in Week 11!

Top Kicker Streamers for Week 11
Only players rostered in fewer than 65% of fantasy football leagues are considered potential streamers.
Evan McPherson (CIN) @ PIT
23% Rostered
McPherson has actually been quite good this season, especially in his last few games. Now that the Bengals have quarterback Joe Flacco (shoulder) starting, they're once again a high-powered O that scores a ton of points. And McPherson has benefited.
He's scored 17.0, 8.0, and 10.0 fantasy points in his last three contests, all Flacco starts. And That 17 point outing was against the Steelers, who also have an offense that's (sometimes) highly productive. We could see another shootout game, and you tend to want to start kickers from those contests.

He's a highly accurate kicker, and in 2021, he was the sixth-best kicker in fantasy football. He's worth a start this week.
Riley Patterson (MIA) vs. WAS
4% Rostered
Patterson has quietly scored just under 7.9 fantasy points per game in his last seven contests. The Dolphins offense has been productive at times, despite their injuries and the struggles with turnovers, but they often struggle to punch the ball in in the red zone.
For all his greatness, Dolphins running back De'Von Achane is not a powerful goal-line option, and the other RBs on the roster, Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright, have struggled to score touchdowns. This often forces Miami to kick field goals, even on their red zone trips.

He's bounced around the league recently, but he clearly still has the leg to make long field goals. The Dolphins will face the Washington Commanders, who have a porous defense that's allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this year.
Harrison Butker (KC) @ DEN
56% Rostered
It's a lot less likely that Butker will be available for free in your leagues than the other guys on this list, but he draws a favorable matchup. The Chiefs will take on the Denver Broncos -- though they have a good defense, they've allowed kickers more success against them in fantasy football.
Being a good red zone defense often forced opponents away from scoring touchdowns and more toward kicking field goals. Though the Chiefs have been an elite red zone offense this year, scoring touchdowns on over 70 percent of their red zone trips, they'll meet their match in one of the best defenses in the NFL.

We'll just have to hope the Chiefs don't turn the ball over much. Their starting quarterback, Patrick Mahomes II, has just five turnovers in nine games, though, so that shouldn't be an issue.
