Green Bay Packers kicker
Brandon McManus has been a hit-or-miss option for fantasy managers this season, but he'll look to right the ship when the Packers head east to MetLife Stadium to square off with the New York Giants in Week 11. McManus has missed at least one field goal in all three games since returning from a quad injury that sidelined him for a pair of games. He's made just 11-of-17 field goals this season after making 20-of-21 field goals last season when replacing
Brayden Narveson early last season. McManus could be on the hot seat if he doesn't shore up his accuracy, which puts his fantasy value deep below the pool of rosterable kickers. For Week 11, McManus is somebody to leave on the waiver wire.

Seattle Seahawks kicker
Jason Myers continues to be an excellent option at kicker in 2025. The Seahawks find themselves kicking a lot of extra points this season. Myers has booted through 10 PATs in the past two weeks, and he has accomplished that feat four times this season. While the touchdowns may not flow as smoothly in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams, Seattle should still be able to move the ball and come away with field goals at the very least. Myers has played his way into the K2 spot on the season. Continuing to be attached to one of the most potent offenses in the NFL is causing Myers to produce his stellar fantasy season. Do not expect Seattle to hang another 44 points on the Rams, but you should feel safe with Myers in your lineup nonetheless.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Thursday that kicker
Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the Week 11 divisional game on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Fairbairn injured his quad in the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos and will now miss a second straight game. The Texans have a quick turnaround next week with a game on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills, so it's possible the 31-year-old veteran won't be ready for that one, either.
Matthew Wright filled in for Fairbairn in the Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and made his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try in the 36-29 victory. The 29-year-old should be in store for a better day in a cushy matchup against the Titans this weekend, but at best, he's a deep-league streaming option at the kicking position in fantasy.

New England Patriots kicker
Andy Borregales should continue to be a reliable scoring option during Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. After a shaky start to the season, Borregales has found his footing and rattled off an impressive eight-game streak of perfect kicks. During that span, he's 26-for-26 on extra points and 9-for-9 on field goals. He still ranks as the overall K15 this year due to the Patriots' relatively lower frequency of field goal attempts, but managers should remain confident that the kicker will deliver when called upon. In fact, we could see him get more involved this week against the Jets, who have allowed 26.8 offensive points per game (seventh-most in the NFL). From a fantasy perspective, they've allowed the NFL's most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers at 10.8, which is a full point higher than the second-worst team. All the stars are aligning for Borregales to have a big showing on Thursday Night Football. He's a top-12 kicking option heading into Week 11.

The New York Giants placed kicker
Graham Gano (neck) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday due to the neck injury that he's been dealing with, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's the second time that Gano has been on IR this year, so his season will come to an end after only five games played in 2025. The 38-year-old veteran kicker went 9-for-10 on his field-goal attempts (he made his only 50-yard attempt) and 9-for-9 on extra points. The G-Men explored using
Jude McAtamney for a short bit with Gano injured this year, but that didn't work out, and they are set to continue with former Falcons kicker
Younghoe Koo in their Week 11 contest this Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers. In last week's loss to the Bears, Koo made both of his field goals and both of his extra points. He shouldn't be on the streaming radar in fantasy this week, though, with quarterback
Jameis Winston taking over for the injured
Jaxson Dart (concussion).

Free-agent kicker
Justin Tucker's 10-game suspension was officially lifted by the commissioner on Tuesday, and he's now eligible to sign with any team after being released by the Baltimore Ravens in May, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Tucker served a 10-game suspension for violating the NFL's conduct policy after multiple sexual misconduct allegations earlier this year. The 35-year-old was suspended in June after the league investigated the accusations. Tucker is eligible to sign with any team as he has been for months, but no team has shown any interest in doing so.

Free agent kicker
Ben Sauls is signing with the New York Giants' practice squad this Tuesday. The Giants have had issues at kicker with
Graham Gano suffering a neck injury that kept him out of the Week 10. Gano also spent time on injured reserve with a groin injury earlier this year. Last week,
Younghoe Koo made both of his field goal and extra point attempts. Sauls had a strong college career at Pitt, making 81.3% of field goal attempts (52-of-64) and 98.4% of his extra points (122-of-124). The addition of Sauls gives the Giants three kickers on their practice squad, with Sauls, Koo, and
Jude McAtamney as candidates to be promoted for Sunday's game if Gano is out.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Monday that rookie
Harrison Mevis will be the team's kicker again for a Week 11 divisional showdown against the Seattle Seahawks, according to Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. The Rams made the switch to Mevis over the struggling
Joshua Karty in their Week 10 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The 23-year-old wasn't tested with any field-goal tries on Sunday, but he did make all six of his extra-point opportunities for the Rams. Karty remains on the team's 53-man roster, so Mevis will need to perform to stick around. Mevis lacks experience, but he could quickly become a fantasy consideration at the kicking position if he's successful in one of the best offenses in football.

The New York Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll on Monday, sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move came after the Giants blew a fourth-quarter lead to lose to the Chicago Bears 24-20 on Sunday after rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart left the contest with a concussion. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, who has interviewed for head-coaching jobs in recent seasons, will take over as the interim head coach going forward. The Giants went 2-8 under Daboll this year in his fourth season with the team. New York set a franchise record with their 11th straight road loss in Chicago in Week 10, a year after the Giants set a franchise record with a 10-game losing streak last year under Daboll. In his first year in the Big Apple, Daboll led the G-Men to the playoffs and was named Coach of the Year, but it fell apart quickly after that.

Detroit Lions kicker
Jake Bates projects as one of the top kicker options for Week 10's matchup against the Washington Commanders. Bates hasn't been quite as effective this season compared to last, however, making just nine of 13 attempts, but he has nailed all 30 of his extra points, which is the most in the league. His 69.2% field goal percentage ranks 31st out of 33 qualified kickers this season. The Lions attempt field goals at one of the lowest rates in the league, but Bates has still struggled to deliver in his limited opportunities. Bates should have plenty of opportunity for scoring in Week 10 against a Washington defense that hasn't shown itself capable of stopping anything recently.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker
Chase McLaughlin has been reliable again this season, making 17 of his 21 field goal attempts and converting 16 of 17 extra points. His 81% field goal percentage ranks just below the league average of 83.6% and is a sizable step down from last season's career best mark of 93.8%, which was third best in the league. The 29-year-old has been money on kicks from 50 yards or longer this season, drilling all eight of his attempts. No other kicker has made more than six. The eight field goals from 50 yards or more are already one shy of his career best mark set back in 2022. McLaughlin has solid streaming value in Week 10 against New England, which is one of the highest projected totals of the week.

New England Patriots kicker
Andy Borregales has not missed a kick in seven consecutive weeks, and he'll look to extend his streak of perfection to eight games during Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rookie missed in each of his first two games this year, but he has performed without a blemish ever since then. He has benefited from a steady increase in workload, and it has also worked out well that the Patriots' offense is playing at a high level and sets him up for plenty of shorter kicks. Of course, the University of Miami product has shown success from long range, too, converting from beyond 50 yards twice this year. The Buccaneers' defense might slow down the Patriots a little more than they're used to, but we still expect solid volume for New England and its kicker in Week 10. Borregales ranks as the #15 kicker in this week's RotoBaller expert fantasy rankings.

Arizona Cardinals kicker
Chad Ryland has been a sneaky solid option over the last few weeks. In fact, Ryland hasn't missed a kick since missing a 57-yard try against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3. The 26-year-old has made five kicks in each of his last three games. Ryland is flying under the radar right now, but has been one of the more consistent kickers in the league this season. He's not a top option at his position, but is well worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers seeking a kicker for Week 10.

November 8, 2025
New York Giants kicker
Younghoe Koo has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Koo will take over the kicking duties this weekend for
Graham Gano (neck) who has been ruled out for this game. Koo hasn't kicked since being released by the Atlanta Falcons following their Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Koo missed a late-game field goal and was released afterwards. The 31-year-old has a 85.8 field goal percentage throughout his NFL career. He figures to be a viable option for the Giants while Gano is out.
--Andy WebbSource: Dan Salomone
November 8, 2025
Washington Commanders kicker
Matt Gay has been mediocre this season, making 10 of his 14 field goal attempts and nailing all 20 extra points. Gay has struggled from attempts north of 50 yards for his career, and that's continued this season, with three of his four misses coming from attempts 50 yards or longer. The 31-year-old's 71.4% field goal percentage ranks 30th in the league out of 33 qualified kickers, well below the league average of 83.6%. Gay could be a decent option in Week 10 versus the Lions in one of the highest projected games of the week, but Washington's offense also has less juice with starting quarterback
Jayden Daniels (elbow) out for multiple weeks.
