Brandon McManus a Low-End Option Against Eagles in Week 10
Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus has put together a string of full practices this week and was removed from the team's injury report before the Packers' game with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. Since returning in Week 8 from a two-game absence, McManus has made just 4-of-7 field goal attempts but has made all four of his extra point attempts. The Packers have been a very volatile offense in terms of week-to-week consistency, but Green Bay losing tight end Tucker Kraft to a season-ending injury definitely wipes out some of the Packers' offensive firepower. In Week 10 against the Eagles, McManus is, at best, a low-end start for fantasy on Monday Night Football.

Zane Gonzalez Debuts as Low-End Kicking Option in Week 10
Atlanta Falcons kicker Zane Gonzalez will make his season debut on Sunday in Germany in a matchup against the Colts. The 30-year-old last played for Washington in 2024, which included six regular-season games and all three of the team's postseason contests. In all, Gonzalez was 12-for-15 on field goal attempts and 27-for-27 on extra points. Since entering the league in 2017, the Arizona State product owns an 80 percent success rate on field goal attempts, and he'll look to bring some stability to the position after both Younghoe Koo and Parker Romo were unable to make it through the season as the team's kicker. Sunday's contest has a relatively high over/under of 48.5, but the Falcons are projected for only 21 points, so there are likely better options on the waiver wire for fantasy managers looking for a streaming option at kicker.

Harrison Mevis an Unknown Commodity with Upside in New Opportunity
Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis has won the kicking job for Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers, so he'll make his NFL debut on Sunday. The 23-year-old is active over Joshua Karty, who had already missed eight kicks through eight games. Mevis has bounced around the NFL with several teams, but he has not yet appeared in a game. The Missouri product has upside given the Rams' extreme offensive success this year, but without any sort of NFL track record, he also has a very low floor. Managers should only add Mevis if they're desperate, as he ranks #17 among kickers in this week's RotoBaller expert rankings for fantasy football.

Cam Little a Solid Starting Kicker in Week 10
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little’s stock is on the rise after nailing an NFL-record 68-yard field goal last week. However, with the Jaguars offense banged up, his long distance ability may not translate into enough opportunities for a big fantasy day. The Jaguars will be without Brian Thomas Jr., so it will be even harder for them to move the ball against what is already a tough matchup to start with. In their previous matchup with the Texans this season, the Jaguars scored just 17 points with more healthy weapons, so it’s hard to see the upside with Little this week. However, he still should be viewed as a solid option given his big leg and solid floor this season. Little should be considered a low end starting kicker in Week 10.
Cairo Santos a Must-Sit with Windy Conditions Expected
Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos has been inconsistent this season, converting just 78% of his field goal attempts. He's seen plenty of recent volume, with him averaging 3.7 field goal attempts over his last three games. This season, Santos ranks as the No. 11 kicker in fantasy scoring on a per-game basis. However, Week 10 sets up poorly. With 25 mph winds and mid-30s temperatures expected in Chicago, kicking conditions will be difficult. Combine that with Ben Johnson's aggressive fourth-down tendencies, and Santos' opportunities could be limited. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere at kicker this week.

Tyler Loop Still in K1 Conversation for Week 10
Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop has been trending back up, just like the entire offense, since Lamar Jackson returned to the field. The rookie may not have gotten any field goal opportunities against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9, but the Minnesota Vikings defense should be just good enough to give him some more opportunities. Loop has three finishes in K1 territory so far this season, and the offense moves the ball with much greater efficiency while Jackson and company are healthy. Over the last four weeks, the Vikings are tied for 15th against kickers, giving up an average of just over seven fantasy points per matchup. That gives Loop the projected value of a K1 this week.

Michael Badgley a Top-Six Fantasy Kicker in Week 10
Indianapolis Colts kicker Michael Badgley has been very accurate since joining the team in Week 6 following the season-ending injury to Spencer Shrader. Badgley has converted all five of his field-goal attempts while hitting all but one of his 15 extra points thus far. He will look to keep it going in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin, Germany. The Falcons have been generous to kickers in fantasy, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to the position. The Colts have been one of the most explosive offenses in the league this season, which should afford Badgley plenty of scoring chances in Week 10. Fantasy managers can treat him as a top-six option this weekend.

Eddy Pineiro Ready For Another Big Game Against Rams
San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro had another productive outing in Week 9 against the New York Giants. Pineiro was good on all four of his extra point tries and hit field goals from 54 and 33 yards out in the 49ers' 34-24 win. Not one known for an overpowering leg, Pineiro is now 6-for-6 from beyond 50 yards. In Week 10, the 49ers host the Rams, who are allowing opponents 15.9 points per game and have given up the fewest touchdowns (11) in the league. That said, this game has one of the highest implied point totals of the week, which could make for a busy afternoon for Pineiro. Pineiro currently ranks third among kickers in fantasy points per game and should be started in Week 10.

Jason Myers Should Continue Stellar 2025 Fantasy Season in Week 10
Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers should have plenty of chances to rack up points on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Myers has always been an accurate kicker, but Seattle's ascension as an office is providing Myers with a lot of shots at field goals and extra points. Myers enters Week 10 averaging 9.75 fantasy points as a kicker. He is providing your team with legitimate low-end flex value in your kicker spot. Best of all, Myers is doing so consistently. He has reached double-digit fantasy points three times this season. The Cardinals boast a solid defense, but they will be traveling to Seattle in Week 10. The home-field advantage should help Seattle be successful offensively. Trust Myers as a high-end kicker option in Week 10 and beyond.

Ryan Fitzgerald a Viable Deep Kicker Option for Week 10
Carolina Panthers kicker Ryan Fitzgerald is a viable fill-in option in deeper fantasy leagues for Week 10. In last week's game against the Green Bay Packers, the Carolina kicker nailed his only field goal attempt and was 1-for-2 on extra point attempts. The rookie kicker has recorded an average of 7.2 fantasy points this season while hitting all of his field goal attempts in four of the last five weeks. Over the last four weeks, the Saints have allowed 10 points per game to the kicker position, which ranks 28th of all teams. New Orleans has also given up an average of 27 points to opposing teams, which is tied for 24th-most in the league this season. The matchup appears to be favorable for Fitzgerald, and while he is ranked just 18th at kicker by RotoBaller for Week 10, he could provide adequate fantasy totals.

Matt Prater Remains a Reliable Option for Week 10
Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater has been a victim of the offense's success at times this season. The team consistently moves the ball downfield and scores, but the high touchdown percentage has limited Prater's field goal opportunities. The kicker is fourth in the league with 25 extra points made, but ranks just 20th with 12 field goals. Prater's 85.7% conversion rate is adequate, but his lack of opportunities has frustrated fantasy owners throughout the season. Week 10 should bring another positive matchup where Prater maintains a high floor, but will unlikely emerge as a top-tier kicker this week. Despite the lack of high-end scoring, he does remain a steady play for teams in need of a five-to-ten point week from their kicker.

Chris Boswell A Strong Fantasy Option Against Chargers
Last week, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell converted both of his field goal attempts and all three extra points in a 27-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. He should stay steady in a Week 10 showdown with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers' defense has been solid overall, but Boswell has consistently shown to be matchup-proof and dependable for both the Steelers and fantasy managers alike. The veteran is 14-for-15 on field-goal attempts of 40 yards or more and a perfect 20-for-20 on extra points this season, his 11th as a pro. Boswell can remain locked into fantasy lineups as a top-10 kicking option.

Jake Elliott Misses Another Kick, Not Trustworthy Against Packers
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott has now missed field goal attempts in back-to-back games, going 1-for-2 in Week 8 against the New York Giants. At first, the problem with Elliott was his lack of kicking opportunities despite his consistent accuracy. Now, the problem is both his opportunities and his accuracy. While he did hit five extra points to pick up the slack, managers can't depend on Philly scoring five touchdowns every week. Elliott is best left off of rosters heading into his Week 10 game against the Green Bay Packers.

Raiders Fire Special Teams Coordinator Tom McMahon
The Las Vegas Raiders have decided to fire special teams coordinator Tom McMahon on Friday. This news comes after a tough Week 10 loss to the Denver Broncos on Thursday. That game had a few key special team incidents, including a blocked punt and a missed 48-yard field goal late in the game. It has been a downward spiral for the Raiders, so it's time for them to shake up the coaching staff and see if that helps. Derius Swinton II, the assistant special teams coach, has been named the interim special teams coordinator for the rest of the season.

Cameron Dicker the Top Kicker Heading into Sunday Night
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is a must-start every week, and this Week 10 home matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers is no different. Dicker was perfect last week, making both of his field goal attempts (including a 52-yarder) and all three extra points. The Steelers' defense has been playing well lately, suggesting they could limit the Chargers' red-zone opportunities and force them to settle for field goals instead of touchdowns, which would boost Dicker's volume. Given his consistency and the likely need for his leg against a potentially tough opponent, RotoBaller projects Dicker as the K1 this week.
