New England Patriots kicker
Andy Borregales remains off the fantasy radar after missing a kick in his NFL debut last weekend. While this week's matchup against the Miami Dolphins should present plenty of scoring opportunities, Borregales' miss from 40 yards out last week indicates that nothing is a sure thing when he swings his leg through the football. The rookie is still working through growing pains, and those will need to work themselves out before the Miami product becomes a dependable top-15 option in fantasy football. For now, you can find better and more dependable options on the waiver wire.

Arizona Cardinals kicker
Chad Ryland put together a solid performance in Week 1 after scoring a total of eight points while going 2-for-3 in field goals. He knocked through a 42 and 50-yard field goal, but had a 46-yarder blocked in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals' offense should be able to move the ball down the field again in Week 2 as they take on the Carolina Panthers, who just gave up 26 points to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. This puts Ryland into the K1 category again, especially after registering a K10 finish in that first outing.

Denver Broncos kicker
Wil Lutz was perfect in Week 1, converting all four of his attempts (two field goals, two extra points) in a 20-12 win over the Tennessee Titans. Despite the clean performance, Denver's offensive struggles capped his fantasy output, as he finished just 17th among kickers for the week. Lutz now faces the Indianapolis Colts in a matchup that could be low scoring after both teams' defensive units impressed in their openers. While Lutz entered the year ranked as a top-five option on some fantasy platforms, his Week 2 outlook carries more volatility. He should be viewed as a high-risk, high-reward streamer rather than a locked-in starter.

Tennessee Titans kicker
Joey Slye delivered a huge performance in Week 1, drilling all four of his field goal attempts in a 20-12 loss to the Denver Broncos. The seventh-year veteran, now on his sixth NFL team, accounted for every point the Titans scored. Slye finished with the second-most fantasy points among kickers in the opening week, despite the tough matchup against Denver's defense. In Week 2, the Titans host the Los Angeles Rams, who just allowed Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn to hit three field goals and finish as a top-five kicker in Week 1. While Slye wasn't on the fantasy radar entering the season, he's emerging as a viable streaming option you can trust this week.

Baltimore Ravens kicker
Tyler Loop enjoyed a good start to his NFL career despite the missed extra point against the Buffalo Bills. With 12 fantasy points, he came in as the K7 in his first game after making a 52-yarder and a 49-yarder, along with going four-for-five in extra points. This offense should have no problem getting the ball into field goal range, especially against the divisional rival Cleveland Browns. Loop will remain in the top-ten fantasy kicker conversation unless he proves otherwise, so managers can look to deploy him in lineups again in Week 2.

Indianapolis Colts kicker
Spencer Shrader will host the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Shrader had a big Week 1, hitting all four of his field-goal attempts and adding three extra points in a 33-8 win over the Miami Dolphins. The Colts might have a tougher time moving the ball on offense in Week 2 as the Broncos possess one of the top defenses in the league. Shrader is worth monitoring in fantasy thanks to his strong Week 1, but he should not be in fantasy lineups heading into Week 2 due to the imposing matchup.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker
Harrison Butker will face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in Week 2. This Super Bowl rematch could prove beneficial for Butker's fantasy relevance because of the strong Eagles defense. If the Kansas City offense is unable to complete drives, Butker could be asked to pick up the points with his leg. The veteran kicker knocked through all three of his field goal attempts in their Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, but ultimately missed the extra point attempt following a rushing touchdown from
Patrick Mahomes in the third quarter. Butker has been one of the most consistent kickers in the league since his debut, and he will hope to continue the trend in Week 2. Butker is ranked K13 in our RotoBaller rankings this week, making him a fringe starter in a 12-team league.

San Francisco 49ers kicker
Eddy Pineiro signed with the team on September 10, in the wake of the release of
Jake Moody. Pineiro does not have Moody's leg strength, but he is certainly more accurate. Despite attempting twice as many field goals as Moody in his career (126 to 62), Pineiro has one fewer miss (15 to Moody's 16). San Francisco's offense has been bitten by the injury bug, including quarterback
Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints. With
Mac Jones at the helm, the offense's potential takes a step back, placing greater reliance on the team's kicker to put up points, however possible. Consider Pineiro a serviceable streamer for Week 2.

New York Giants kicker
Graham Gano is a possible fantasy option for Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, depending on your league. Gano was responsible for all six of the Giants' points in Week 1, making both of his field goal attempts, including a long of 52 yards, for 8 fantasy points. This puts him in a decent position among fantasy kickers, especially since he has a 100% field goal percentage so far. His opportunities for scoring could increase against a Dallas team that gave up 11 fantasy points to kickers in Week 1 of the 2025 season. Given the Giants' offensive struggles and Gano's reliable leg, he should be considered for Week 2.

New Orleans Saints kicker
Blake Grupe went 2-for-3 on field goals and 1-for-1 on extra points in the Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. His only miss came in the third quarter on a 37-yard attempt following a 14-play drive, while he converted from 36 and 28 yards. Grupe is a reliable kicker, but the Saints' offense, led by quarterback
Spencer Rattler, may struggle to move the ball consistently. He ranks 21st among kickers on RotoBaller this week.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker
Jake Elliott impressed in his season debut, going perfect for the game by making his sole field goal attempt of 58 yards and all three of his extra points. In Week 2 Elliott will travel to Kansas City for a matchup against the Chiefs, who allowed 27 points to the Chargers last week in a loss. The Chiefs gave up five scores on seven drives-excluding the final time Los Angeles had the ball when they ran the clock out. Facing a weak defense and having long range, Elliott should remain in fantasy lineups this week.

In the season opener, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker
Chris Boswell picked up right where he left off in 2024, drilling two field goals and four extra points. Most notably, he set a franchise record with a 60-yarder that gave Pittsburgh a 34-32 lead with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter. Boswell will look to carry this momentum into a Week 2 meeting with the Seattle Seahawks, who fared well against fantasy kickers last season. Despite the matchup and modest projected point total, Boswell's consistency keeps him in play as a reliable starter across all formats.

Chicago Bears kicker
Cairo Santos had a rough start to his 12th NFL season. He connected on three extra points but went just 1-of-2 on field goals, missing a crucial 50-yarder that ultimately proved to be the difference in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings. To make matters worse, on the final kickoff, the Bears needed Santos to boot the ball out of the end zone, but his short kick was returned and forced the clock to run down to the two-minute warning. Frustration with Santos' kicking strength appears to be growing in Chicago, as the team signed former 49ers kicker
Jake Moody to the practice squad ahead of Week 2. With the Bears traveling to Detroit, Santos enters the week ranked as K23 and should be considered unstartable in fantasy. This could be a make-or-break week for his job security.

Miami Dolphins kicker
Riley Patterson reverted to the practice squad after his Week 1 promotion, but he's expected to kick for the team again in Week 2 since
Jason Sanders (hip) is still sidelined and on IR. Patterson was signed to the practice squad and promoted in Week 1, but the offense struggled badly in a loss to the Colts and never called on him to even attempt a field goal or extra point. When they finally did find the end zone, they went for a two-point conversion. This week, the Dolphins will try to get their offense on track at home against the Patriots. If they do, Patterson could get some work, but the struggles of the offense have Patterson ranked as the No. 28 kicker for Week 2 in the RotoBaller rankings.

Cleveland Browns kicker
Andre Szmyt will take on the Baltimore Ravens on the road in Week 2. Szmyt did not impress in his first game with the Browns last week, missing one of his two field goals and also misfiring on an extra point in a one-point loss. With many putting at least some of the blame on Szmyt's shoulders for the loss, he will look to bounce back against a Ravens defense that allowed the 14th-most fantasy points per game to the position back in 2024. Szmyt has a lot of pressure on him to improve from last week, but he is too hard to trust in fantasy at the moment.
