Kansas City Chiefs kicker
Harrison Butker will face the New York Giants on Sunday night in Week 3. Butker nailed all three field goal attempts in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, but the same could not be said about his performance last week. The Chiefs kicker made only one of his two field goal attempts, missing a 58-yard attempt towards the end of the first quarter. Butker was one of the most valuable kickers in fantasy when the Chiefs were the best offense in football, but they've since regressed and so has his value. The Giants could provide a boost to the kicker this week. The Giants allowed the Dallas Cowboys to score 40 points in Week 2, including a massive performance from Cowboys kicker
Brandon Aubrey. Aubrey knocked through four field goals and four extra-point attempts on route to a 22-point fantasy performance. Butker is not expected to reach those heights this week, but the matchup should provide an opportunity for more volume. Butker is ranked K12 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a start-worthy player in most leagues.

New York Giants kicker
Graham Gano has established himself as a premier fantasy option and should be considered in Week 3 against the Chiefs. Gano is currently the K5 in fantasy, averaging an impressive 10.5 points per game while remaining perfect on the season, having made all five of his field goal attempts--including a long of 55 yards--and all four extra points. While some fantasy managers may hesitate to trust the Giants' offense week-to-week, its ability to move the ball, as seen in the 37-point outing against Dallas, provides Gano with ample scoring opportunities. His proven accuracy and the offense's capability to stall in opponent territory make him a top-tier fantasy kicker.

Denver Broncos kicker
Wil Lutz is a strong candidate to bounce back and rank among the top 10 players at his position during Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Lutz went 4-for-4 on extra points last week but missed his lone field goal attempt, so he's looking for better production this time around. A much tougher matchup against the Chargers works in his favor as the Broncos could end more drives in field goals and fewer drives in touchdowns. Furthermore, kickers have fared quite well against the Chargers this year, with
Harrison Butker and
Daniel Carlson both posting double-digit fantasy points. Finally, Lutz will play in a calm environment inside SoFi Stadium, protecting him from elements like wind or rain.

Seattle Seahawks kicker
Jason Myers is in line for another solid game in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints. Myers has turned in two straight eight-point outings to start the season. While he is not lighting up the scoreboard for fantasy, he provides a great baseline for your kicker spot. The Seahawks have had success moving the ball in both Weeks 1 and 2, which has put Myers in plenty of positions to kick field goals and extra points. They should have no issue doing so again in Week 3 against a Saints team that has allowed at least 20 points in both games. Myers has remained accurate this season. He missed one field goal in Week 2, but has made every other field goal and extra point attempt this season. Look for him to push for a double-digit outing on his home turf in Week 3.

New Orleans Saints kicker
Blake Grupe missed his only field goal attempt from 40 yards in the 26-21 loss to the 49ers in Week 2. He is now 2-for-4 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points on the season. Grupe looks to rebound against the Seahawks, who allowed
Chris Boswell to convert three field goals from 40+ yards last week. Despite the matchup, Grupe can remain off fantasy radars this week.

Arizona Cardinals kicker
Chad Ryland has turned in some solid performances thus far, with another multi-field goal outing in Week 2. He booted a 29-yarder and a 47-yarder while making all three of his extra-point attempts as well. He's currently the K13 on the season, and he looks to be hovering right around the same area for Week 3. The San Francisco 49ers' defense presents the biggest challenge for the Cardinals' offense so far, which could put a damper on Ryland's opportunities if they can't rise above it. There are better kicking options out there, but Ryland could be an option for anyone in a pinch.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker
Jake Elliott impressed once again last Sunday, nailing both of his extra points and both of his field goal attempts. It wasn't an easy task either, with his makes coming from 58 yards to end the first half then 51 yards early in the third quarter. Elliott will kick against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3, the team allowing the least amount of points per game to opposing offenses so far this season (14.0) Regardless, the Philly kicker has been perfect and doing it from long distance. As long as he keeps up these kinds of performances, Elliott belongs in fantasy lineups.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker
Chase McLaughlin has struggled early in the season. McLaughlin missed two kicks in the season opener and his issues lingered into Week 2. McLaughlin made both his extra point attempts, but missed his lone field goal attempt in the win over the Houston Texans. It has been a frustrating start for McLaughlin who was fantastic for Tampa Bay last season. The Bucs are expected to have a much longer leash on McLaughlin than fantasy managers should. McLaughlin comes into a favorable matchup against a shaky New York Jets defense. The expectation is that the Bucs should be able to set up McLaughlin with plenty of opportunities. No one should blame fantasy managers for moving on from McLaughlin, but maybe he deserves one more chance.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker
Chris Boswell will look to carry his positive momentum from the first two games of the season into a Week 3 meeting with the New England Patriots. Boswell is proving to be a fantasy force regardless of his opponent, but it helps that New England has surrendered the eighth-most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers in 2025. The 34-year-old has already been leaned on heavily this year, connecting on all five of his field goal attempts - each from at least 45 yards out. With a healthy projected point total on tap, fantasy managers have no reason to shy away from Boswell as an elite fantasy option on Sunday.

Facing a mid-tier matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, Minnesota Vikings kicker
Will Reichard can most likely be avoided in Week 3. The Vikings' offense has been awry for most of the year, and will be without starting quarterback
J.J. McCarthy (ankle), starting center Ryan Kelly (concussion), and possibly down to a third-string left tackle depending on the status of starter Christian Darrisaw (knee). Oddsmakers are predicting a low-scoring game -- the Vikings-Bengals matchup is tied for the lowest over/under of the weekend -- with both sides starting their No. 2 quarterback. It's a lot of moving parts that are directly tied to Reichard's involvement in the game, meaning managers probably can find a safer starter elsewhere.

Green Bay Packers kicker
Brandon McManus looks to keep his consistent kicking run going as the Packers head to Cleveland to play the Browns in Week 3. Through two games, McManus has averaged 10 fantasy points per game, with multiple field goals and three extra points made in each contest. With the Packers favored against Cleveland in Week 3, there should be plenty of opportunity for McManus to at least match his production over the season's first two weeks. The weather in Cleveland for Sunday afternoon calls for some thunderstorms, so that could potentially be an issue for McManus. However, I'd still be willing to roll him out as a low-end fantasy starter thanks to the Packers' offense being so potent through two games.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker had another perfect night in the team's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, making two field goals and converting both extra points for an eight-point night. Dicker will face a tough Denver Broncos defense and may need to rely on his leg and accuracy throughout the game. The Chargers are expected to score around 24 points, but with the Broncos tied for the second-lowest Red Zone TD% allowed, Dicker could see more opportunities to attempt field goals during the game. RotoBaller projects him as K5 this week, and he's a strong start for fantasy managers.

Atlanta Falcons kicker
Parker Romo signed a two-year deal with the organization on Friday. After a perfect debut last week, the Falcons have decided to go with Romo as their kicker moving forward. Romo knocked down all five of his field goal attempts during last week's win over the Minnesota Vikings. As a result,
Younghoe Koo was released by the organization on Friday. Koo missed a game-tying field goal against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the season opener. Apparently, that was enough for the Falcons to move on from him. Possibly, Koo gets another chance elsewhere, but he doesn't need to be rostered in fantasy formats right now. As for Romo, he's looking like a solid streaming option against the shaky Carolina Panthers defense in Week 3.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris has said that
Parker Romo will be the team's kicker in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers, according to a team announcement. Romo took over for veteran kicker
Younghoe Koo in Week 2 after Koo missed a critical kick in Atlanta's season-opening loss. Koo remains on the active roster while Romo is on the practice squad, but that could be set to change at some point over the next few weeks. Romo came through in his first game for Atlanta last week, nailing all five of his field goal attempts and his lone extra-point try. The 28-year-old is a low-end starting kicker option in fantasy this week against Carolina.

Dallas Cowboys kicker
Brandon Aubrey's right leg is fast becoming one of the most reliable weapons in fantasy football and in the NFL. Last week, he was locked in yet again as a top-five fantasy option. If you're lucky enough to have him on your roster, there's nothing to do but set it and smile. Aubrey is as close to automatic as it gets. In a league where even the best kickers occasionally blink, Aubrey looks downright automatic. Week 3 brings another intriguing spot. The Cowboys travel to Chicago, where rain is in the forecast, and the over/under is set at a lofty 50.5 points. That screams soupy shootout, the kind of high-scoring, sloppy-weather contest where a steady leg can tilt the outcome. Aubrey has now connected on every kick this season, showing poise and power no matter the conditions. With Dallas' offense moving the ball and a wet Soldier Field potentially stalling red-zone drives, Aubrey could have another big week.
