Jackson Sparks breaks down all 2022 fantasy football Week 11 kickers - streamers, starts, sits, targets, avoids, and waiver wire pickups. His Week 11 rankings and tiers for all of the NFL kickers.
We have all the data and statistics we need for fantasy kickers since 10 weeks of the NFL season are in the books. However, with key kickers like Jason Myers and Ryan Succop on a bye, there will be more fantasy managers playing the streaming game at kicker this week. Our Week 11 kicker rankings aim to help fantasy managers sort through all the variables and make the right choice at this tough position to predict.
Chris Boswell (groin) has been placed on injured reserve, but we'll have to monitor the status of Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) and Matt Prater (hip) as both would be strong Week 11 options if active. For now, we have Hopkins out of the rankings, but Prater figures to play.
Fantasy managers who drafted a kicker early be looking at kicker rankings often, but it's always a good idea to have a general idea of what's going on at the position that doesn't get much publicity.

Kicker Streamers to Target for Week 11
Only players who are rostered in fewer than 50% of fantasy football leagues are considered streamers.
Nick Folk, New England Patriots (vs. New York Jets)
The New England offense might not have a ton of upside in this spot, but Folk has made the second-most field goals this season (19) and has missed just two attempts. He's usually guaranteed a few scoring opportunities as the Patriots' offense stalls out, and since a ton of fantasy managers dropped him when he was on a bye, now is the time to scoop him up and play him.
Eddie Piñeiro, Carolina Panthers (at Baltimore Ravens)
Piñeiro's fantasy success is a classic case of a bad offense constantly settling for field goals. He's a top-10 fantasy kicker through 10 weeks, and with Baker Mayfield expected to start against the Baltimore Ravens, this offense could have a tad more upside. It's been easy to dismiss Piñeiro since he's on one of the worst teams in the NFL, but based on his stats so far, he's worth streaming.
Cameron Dicker OR Dustin Hopkins, Los Angeles Chargers (vs. Kansas City Chiefs)
Hopefully, the Chargers will get one of their two top receivers back from injury for this matchup, but the projected total of 50 points is the highest one of the Week 11 slate, so whether it's Dicker or Hopkins kicking for L.A., the upside is strong here in what could be a shootout. Dicker has been perfect on his seven field goal attempts thus far, so don't be afraid to trust him in your lineups.
Kicker Busts to Avoid for Week 11
Mason Crosby, Green Bay Packers (vs. Tennessee Titans)
Fantasy managers refuse to let Crosby go, despite him being on our list of kickers to avoid almost every week. He's had a mediocre season as a kicker outside the top-2o in total fantasy points, and despite Green Bay's offense looking much better in Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys, he's still tough to trust. Tennessee has been stellar on defense in all but one game this season, so expect a defensive struggle on a short Week on Thursday Night Football.
Brandon McManus, Denver Broncos (vs. Las Vegas Raiders)
McManus has fallen from a top fantasy kicking option since the Denver Broncos offense is among the worst units in the NFL. With Jerry Jeudy banged up and several key offensive line injuries, the offense could get even worse. Despite a favorable matchup with the struggling Raiders' defense, McManus remains far from the fantasy radar.
