Seattle Seahawks kicker
Jason Myers is in a great position to succeed against an average-at-best Washington Commanders defense in Week 9. The Seahawks' offense should have no issues moving the ball up and down the field against this team. Myers is the K8, even with a bye week to his name. He has only scored fewer than 8 fantasy points on one occasion this year. That only happened because the Seahawks almost exclusively scored touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. As such, Myers has about as safe a floor as any kicker in the league. He is still readily available on waivers, especially since he is coming out of his bye. If you need a kicker in Week 9, and even beyond, do not hesitate to set and forget Myers.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker experienced his first missed field goal of the season last Thursday but still went 3-for-4 on field goal attempts and made all four extra points. Dicker now faces a struggling Tennessee Titans defense that is expected to give up plenty of points. As 9.5-point favorites, the Chargers are likely to move the ball efficiently, creating multiple scoring opportunities. Given the team's high scoring projection, Dicker is poised to easily capitalize with several extra points and field goal attempts, even in a run-heavy game. RotoBaller ranks Dicker as K2 this week. He is a must-start in all formats.

Minnesota Vikings kicker
Will Reichard should be avoided in most formats when the Vikings travel to Detroit in Week 9. Not only have the Vikings struggled on offense, ranking 31st in the league in sack rate, but they'll be reintroducing quarterback
J.J. McCarthy after he missed the past five games with an ankle injury. Detroit has one of the best run defenses in the league at the midway point of the season, and Minnesota is coming off an absolute dud in Week 8, during which they ran 47 plays and gained only 164 yards. Though Reichard has been mostly reliable when called upon, making 14-of-16 field goals and all 13 extra points, the volatility around him makes him tough to trust in a fantasy lineup.

Baltimore Ravens kicker
Tyler Loop bounced back in a big way in the Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears. He made three field goals from 42, 28, and 32 yards while making all three of his extra point attempts as well. Now,
Lamar Jackson returns in Week 9 against a Miami Dolphins defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers and is tied for seventh-most points per game to opposing teams. That puts Loop firmly into the K1 conversation, and he's currently projected in the RotoBaller rankings to finish as the K5 in Week 9.

The Washington Commanders announced on Tuesday that they released kicker
Matthew Wright from their practice squad. Wright was added to the active 53-man roster for Monday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with
Matt Gay (back) out, but now the 29-year-old will be back on the open market. Wright made his only kicking attempt in Week 8, an extra point on the team's only score of the game in a 28-7 loss. The move to cut Wright essentially means that the Commanders feel comfortable that Gay will be ready to kick on Sunday night in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks. Wright has now kicked in one game each for Washington and Tennessee, making his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries. Fantasy managers should have better options at the position than Gay in Week 9.

The Washington Commanders announced on Monday that kicker
Matt Gay (back) has been downgraded to out for the Week 8 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. In a corresponding move, the team signed
Matthew Wright to the active 53-man roster from the practice squad, and he will serve as their placekicker in Kansas City. The team also released wide receiver
Robbie Chosen from the practice squad. It's unclear if Gay's back injury is serious enough to keep him out for another game in Week 9 when the team squares off against the Seattle Seahawks. Wright, who is in his sixth season in the NFL, played in one game for the Tennessee Titans this year, making his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try. He is a career 87.5% field-goal kicker in his 30 NFL games with six different teams. Wright should be avoided in DFS lineups in a tough road matchup with starting quarterback
Jayden Daniels (hamstring) sidelined.

Green Bay Packers kicker
Brandon McManus (quadricep) is officially active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice session. The 34-year-old returns following a two-game absence. He went 7-for-9 on field goals and 11-for-12 on extra points when healthy, maintaining low-end streaming appeal in fantasy football. His return to action is bittersweet for the Packers and fantasy managers alike. Green Bay is surely pleased to get its primary kicker back, but it also spells the end of a magical two-week stretch for
Lucas Havrisik, who went from searching for substitute teaching jobs to going 4-for-4 on field goals and 6-for-6 on extra points while filling in for McManus. Havrisik is a healthy scratch Sunday night.

New York Giants kicker
Graham Gano (groin) is active for Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Giants activated their top kicker from the IR earlier this weekend, and he is officially set to make his return. Gano has been on the shelf since suffering this injury in their Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. During his first three games of the campaign, Gano went 6-for-6 while adding four extra points on five attempts. In 2024, Gano went 9-for-11 on attempts through 11 games and knocked in all 15 of his extra points. Given New York's emerging offense with
Jaxson Dart under center, Gano carries sneaky streaming upside in deeper formats.

Chicago Bears kicker
Cairo Santos (thigh) is officially active for Sunday's contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Santos has been unable to suit up in each of the last two weeks due to this thigh injury. While he has been sidelined,
Jake Moody took over kicking duties in the Windy City. During his first four games of the campaign, Santos went 6-for-7 on field goals while going a perfect 11-for-11 on extra points. Given his role in an emerging offense, Santos should be viewed as a strong K1 in all leagues facing the Ravens, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this season.

New York Giants kicker
Graham Gano (groin) has been activated off the injured reserve on Saturday. Gano is currently considered questionable to play during the Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, the fact the Giants didn't elevate another kicker means Gano is likely to play. Gano has been sidelined since suffering a groin injury in Week 3. Before that, Gano was sharp as he knocked down all nine of his kicks during the first three games of the season. He should offer streaming value if active for Sunday's game.

October 25, 2025
Washington Commanders kicker
Matt Gay (back) is currently considered questionable ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Gay is a late addition to the injury report as he wasn't on there until Saturday. The Commanders aren't currently rostering another kicker, so they'd need to sign one before Monday's game. The team will likely wait and see how Gay feels on Sunday before making a decision. Fantasy managers who have Gay rostered should probably get another kicker just in case he's unable to play.
--Andy WebbSource: Washington Commanders
October 25, 2025
Chicago Bears kicker
Cairo Santos (thigh) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Santos was able to practice in full on Thursday and Friday. Despite that, Santos still carries the questionable tag into this contest. It's worth noting that the Bears haven't elevated
Jake Moody from the practice squad. That means, Santos appears to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's game. Santos has missed each of the last two games due to a thigh issue. Santos could offer more value than normal this weekend considering how bad the Ravens defense has been this season.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker
Harrison Butker will face the Washington Commanders on Monday night in Week 8. Butker converted all four of his extra-point attempts and his lone field goal attempt against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. The Chiefs kicker has missed a kick in five of seven games this season, but he's coming off a game where he went 5-for-5. Butker should be involved against the Commanders, given that the Chiefs are nearly 12-point home favorites on Monday night. The Commanders will be without their star quarterback,
Jayden Daniels, which could mean more Chiefs possessions and more Butker kicks. Butker is ranked K2 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a top-end kicker option in Week 8.

Buffalo Bills kicker
Matt Prater enters Week 8 as a must-start option facing off against Carolina. The Panthers rank as a top-10 defense in yards allowed, and have allowed scores on just 37.7% of drives, ranking No. 12 currently. The Panthers' ability to slow offenses could lead to multiple opportunities for Prater to put up points this week. The Bills maintain a high-powered offense that can score on anyone, and Prater should benefit again this week.

October 25, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker
Chris Boswell drilled all four of his extra-point tries and converted his lone field goal in a Week 7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He should be equally, if not more, involved in a Week 8 showdown with the Green Bay Packers. Sunday night's contest is expected to be a closely contested, moderately high-scoring affair. Green Bay has been solid defensively this season and has done a good job keeping opponents out of the end zone, surrendering the eighth-fewest touchdowns per contest. That should set up additional field-goal opportunities for Boswell, who remains a steady fantasy option at home. The 34-year-old comes in at No. 10 in RotoBaller's kicker rankings this week and should remain in starting lineups.
