Week 11 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2023 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

November 16, 2023

Tony Camino breaks down all 2023 fantasy football Week 11 kickers - streamers, starts, sits, targets, avoids, and waiver wire pickups. Our Week 11 rankings and tiers for all of the NFL kickers.

The fantasy football regular season is winding down; we only have four weeks left. We are back with more fantasy football advice to help you set those winning lineups with our Week 11 fantasy football kicker streamer and starts. Selecting the right kicker could be the difference between winning or losing your league matchup. There will be fewer options to stream with the Falcons, Saints, Patriots, and Colts on bye. 

We will look to replicate some of Week 10's success as Chase McLaughlin scored eight points, while Eddy Pineiro tallied seven points. Matt Gay was a miss as he only mustered four points, but avoiding Randy Bullock was the right move, as the veteran scored five points.

Let’s get right to it with my kicker rankings, the top streaming options, and who to avoid for Week 11.

Week 11 Kicker Rankings for Fantasy Football

Kicker Streamers to Target in Week 11

All streamers in this article are rostered in under 60% of Yahoo leagues.

Brandon McManus (JAX) vs. Tennessee Titans (44% Rostered)

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Brandon McManus is coming off his least active game of the season, having made his only attempt on a 37-yard field goal in the team's 34-3 loss to the 49ers. The Jaguars couldn't get anything going offensively, resulting in just one attempt of any kind for the veteran kicker throughout the entire game. However, McManus is still averaging 9.44 points per game and ranks in the top 10 among kickers this season.

Looking ahead, the Jaguars will host the Tennessee Titans next week, a team that has allowed the third-most points per game to kickers this season. The Titans have permitted a kicker to score in double digits in four of their last five games, giving up at least eight points in each of the last five. While Jacksonville had a challenging outing against a determined 49ers team, they should find more success moving the ball against their divisional rival, the Titans.

Jason Myers (SEA) vs. Los Angeles Rams (58% Rostered)

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is coming off his best game of the season, having made all five field goals and added two extra points for a 21-point fantasy day. Four of his kicks were in the 40-49 yard range, marking the second time this year Myers attempted and made five field goals in a single game.

In Week 11, the Seahawks face the Rams, who have allowed the fourth-most points per game to kickers this season. Earlier this year against the Rams, the 32-year-old attempted three field goals but had a limited fantasy output due to a miss off the upright on a 39-yard attempt. Given the perfect conditions in the dome at SoFi Stadium, Myers is a solid streaming option for the week.

Greg Joseph (MIN) vs. Denver Broncos (11% Rostered)

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph has only reached double-digit points twice this season and has missed a total of seven kicks in games. In the recent week, Joseph made all three extra points but missed one of his three field goal attempts, resulting in a nine-point day. Notably, Joseph's miss came on a 54-yard attempt, highlighting the confidence the coaching staff has in his leg.

In the upcoming week, the Vikings face the Broncos, who allow the fifth-most points per game to kickers. Denver's defense has struggled, while the Vikings, with Joshua Dobbs at quarterback, are on a positive streak. The team has demonstrated a willingness to attempt kicks from deep, and the altitude at Mile High Stadium should provide Joseph with the opportunity to successfully convert from 50 yards at least once.

Kickers to Avoid in Week 11

Fantasy players should always stream the kicker position. However, it’s important to avoid picking up and starting a kicker that will be a bust. Let’s see which two kickers you shouldn’t pick up off the waiver wire this week.

Chris Boswell (PIT) vs. Cleveland Browns (19% Rostered)

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell is likely to be a popular bye-week replacement, but he's not in an ideal spot. Currently ranking as the 14th-highest-scoring fantasy kicker, averaging 8.56 points per game, the 32-year-old is coming off his most productive game in weeks. In that game, he made all three field goals, including two from 40-49 yards, along with converting both extra points.

The issue lies in the Steelers heading to Cleveland to take on the Browns, who have allowed the third-fewest points per game to kickers this season. The Browns' defense has been formidable all year and has notably improved since their Week 2 matchup where Boswell benefitted from a slew of turnovers. When you factor in the challenging conditions of Lake Erie in mid-November along with the stingy Browns defense, it suggests that Boswell might be a kicker to avoid in fantasy this week.

Eddy Pineiro (CAR) vs. Dallas Cowboys (1% Rostered) 

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro has had a quiet season, ranking as the 26th-best kicker in fantasy output, averaging just 7.56 points per game. He has reached double-digit points only twice this year, with his last occurrence happening back in Week 3. Despite a favorable matchup last week against the Bears, Pineiro made just two of his three field goals and added an extra point, resulting in a modest six-point output.

In Week 11, the Panthers face the Cowboys at home, a team that allows the second-fewest points per game to kickers this season. Due to one of the league's best defenses, kickers have had limited opportunities to capitalize against Dallas this year. With rookie Bryce Young facing a formidable test against this stingy defense, it's unlikely that the Panthers will find themselves in Dallas territory very often, potentially limiting Pineiro's fantasy production for the week.
