High-Scoring Potential For Will Reichard In Week 9
Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard is again a no-thought-required starting option when his team welcomes the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football. Despite the struggles of the Minnesota offense, their kicker has still performed, scoring double-digit fantasy points in four of the past five games. Behind backup quarterback Carson Wentz, the Vikings have to open up their offense to keep pace with Buffalo, but any improvement likely will mean more chances for Reichard. Additionally, the Bills rank 26th in defensive EPA and 29th against fantasy kickers, so the matchup is favorable. As RotoBaller's No. 4 player at his position this week, Reichard can be started in every format that plays a kicker.

Will Reichard Is A Must-Start Option Against Detroit
Fantasy managers who drafted Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard have been rewarded handsomely through six games, and there's no reason to change course when the Vikings take on the Detroit Lions in Week 8. Though Reichard logged his first miss of the season last week when the Indianapolis Colts blocked a 59-yard attempt, he still converted three field goals, including a clutch 52-yarder inside the final two minutes of regulation that helped secure the win. The All-Pro ranks second at his position in fantasy points, and the Vikings are up against a Lions defense that ranks 32nd in air yards allowed, 26th in points allowed, and 32nd against fantasy kickers. Until he proves otherwise, Reichard is an easy start, ranking as RotoBaller's No. 1 fantasy kicker this week.

Top Billing For Will Reichard Against Colts
Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard is once again one of the top fantasy options at his position when his team plays host to the struggling Indianapolis Colts. The former Alabama standout has been perfect thus far, making all 15 of his field goal attempts, including all five from beyond 50 yards. In his career, Reichard is 77-for-77 on extra points, and he's currently in the best form of his career. The Colts rank 21st against fantasy kickers and have allowed points on 47% of their opponents' drives this season, the third-worst mark in the league, which should give Reichard opportunities if the Vikings can move the ball. The All-Pro has been dialed in this season, so managers who roster him don't need to overthink the kicker position whatsoever. Reichard is RotoBaller's No. 1 kicker for Week 7.

Locked-In Will Reichard An Easy Starter In Week 5
Riding a year-long hot streak, Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard can be started in every format when his team takes on the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. The All-Pro has made 31 straight field goals dating back to last season, including all 12 attempts this year. For better or worse, Reichard has been Minnesota's most reliable way to score this season, tying for the league lead in points scored at his position. The Saints surrendered 45 points last week, rank in the bottom three against fantasy kickers, and the indoor setting takes away most of the unfriendly variables for a kicking operation. As long as he's healthy, Reichard should have lineup potential. He is RotoBaller's No. 5 kicker this week.

Will Reichard Brings Starting Potential In Week 4
Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard can be considered a solid starting option when his team plays host to the Miami Dolphins in Week 4. So far, the All-Pro kicker has been excellent, hitting all seven of his field goal attempts and all six of his extra points to rank fourth among fantasy kickers. The Vikings' offense is coming off one of its worst offensive stretches since it hired head coach Kevin O'Connell in 2022, but the Dolphins have struggled in virtually every area, and they rank 27th against fantasy kickers. Minnesota's blueprint of harassing opposing teams with exotic blitzes and doing just enough on offense hasn't been pretty, but it's keeping Reichard playable in any format that starts a kicker. He's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 10 kicker for Week 4.

Middling Potential For Will Reichard At Tampa
Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard should be considered a middle-of-the-road fantasy option when his team takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3. So far, the third-year kicker has been steady through two games, making all four extra points and all four field goal attempts, including three last week in Chicago. Minnesota's offense hasn't exactly been a work of art so far, though the Vikings should be closer to their best version now that starting quarterback Kyler Murray (concussion) is set to return. Reichard is RotoBaller's 15th-ranked kicker this week, but the setting in Tampa should at least be preferable to the horrible weather conditions last week against the Bears. As an All-Pro last year, Reichard is an option for most games, but managers might be able to find a streamer with a better matchup this week.

Will Reichard In Middle Of The Pack For Week 2
Coming off a solid but unremarkable Week 1, Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard is a mid-range fantasy option as his team prepares to play the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The Bears' defense allowed 37 points at Carolina last week, though Minnesota faces some uncertainty at quarterback as backup Carson Wentz prepares to start with Kyler Murray (concussion) already ruled out for Week 2. For his part, Reichard played well in Week 1, connecting on all four of his extra points and a 38-yard field goal in the Vikings' comeback win against Green Bay. An All-Pro last season, the Alabama alum has turned into one of the NFL's top kickers, so he warrants consideration in almost every game, but managers patrolling the waiver wire might be able to find a stronger play elsewhere this week.

Starting Potential For Will Reichard In Week 1
Coming off a season in which he was named a first-team All-Pro selection, kicker Will Reichard is a starting candidate when the Minnesota Vikings open the season against Green Bay in Week 1. The Alabama product was outstanding in 2025, when he made all 31 of his extra points and 33 of 35 field goal attempts, including all 22 attempts from inside 50 yards. Even better for managers, the Vikings' offense should be more competent in 2026 with the addition of quarterback Kyler Murray. The third-year kicker will also play 11 of his 17 games this season indoors, starting with Sunday's contest at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Reichard is RotoBaller's 12th-ranked kicker in Week 1, but if he continues his form from last year, he'll certainly be in the mix to be a plug-and-play starter this season.
