Week 4 Kicker Outlooks for Fantasy Football
Eddy Pineiro, San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro whiffed on two extra-point attempts last week but converted his other three tries and nailed a 57-yard field goal, his only attempt of the game. Never quite known for being a powerful kicker before coming to San Francisco last season, Pineiro is now 8-for-10 from 50-plus yards in 17 games with the team, compared to 11-for-14 in his 70 previous games with other teams going back to 2019.
The 49ers' high-powered offense has given Pineiro the lead in extra point attempts through three weeks with 13, though it has cost him opportunities to attempt field goals. Pineiro could be in for a more productive game in Week 4, in what is expected to be a high-scoring affair with the Denver Broncos. Pineiro is projected as a top-10 option this week and is worthy of a start in fantasy football lineups.
Tyler Loop, Baltimore Ravens
Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop overcame his 2025 Week 18 demons in the final seconds of last Sunday's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Brazil, nailing a 56-yard game-winning field goal as time expired. The AFC Special Teams Player of the Week also made a 27-yard field goal in the second quarter and all four of his point-after attempts. The Ravens' offense enters Week 4 with one of the slate's highest implied point totals at home against the Tennessee Titans, which should give Loop plenty of chances to split the uprights.
With injuries to the Ravens' offensive line, the offense has a higher chance to stall within Loop's 50+-yard field goal range, giving the second-year kicker additional upside for fantasy managers. However, there is a 55% chance of rain in Baltimore at kickoff, though winds should remain relatively low. Fantasy managers should be mindful of local weather reports in case conditions worsen Sunday morning. Even so, Loop is RotoBaller's number two overall kicker for Week 4 and, with the Ravens having a late bye week this season, he is shaping up to be a long-term hold option for managers who want to avoid streaming the position.
Will Reichard, Minnesota Vikings
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.
Evan McPherson, Cincinnati Bengals
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson had another strong performance in last week's 27-30 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite the loss, McPherson was able to knock through all of his kicks, including two field goals and three extra-point attempts. The Bengals kicker is yet to miss a single kick this season and should have more opportunities to score this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars offense has been hot to start 2026 and should be able to score against Cincinnati.
If the Bengals are chasing points in this week's game, McPherson could be involved in them catching up. McPherson is ranked K3 in our RotoBaller Week 4 rankings, making him one of the best options to start at the kicker position this week. Fantasy managers should tune in to see if McPherson can stay perfect this Sunday.
Harrison Butker, Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 4. Butker has now missed field goals in back-to-back games, but has not missed an extra-point attempt all season. The Chiefs will have their work cut out for them against a tough Raiders defense, so Butker should play a vital role in the matchup.
Butker is ranked K5 in our RotoBaller Week 4 rankings, making him one of the best options to start at the position this week. The Chiefs kicker should be depended upon throughout the game, and fantasy managers should feel confident with him in their lineups, despite his recent struggles.
Jason Myers, Seattle Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is a top-10 option at the position in Week 4 when Seattle hosts the Los Angeles Chargers. Myers has yet to miss a kick in 2026, nor has he finished a game with fewer than seven fantasy points. Unfortunately, Myers' ceiling has been capped by a lack of field goal attempts. Seattle's offense has primarily scored touchdowns on its way to a 2-1 start. Given the excellence of this offense, Seattle should continue to score a lot of touchdowns, but Myers' field goal attempts will bounce back eventually.
In 2025, Myers attempted 48 field goals and 48 extra points. Either way, Myers has a fantastic floor in Week 4. The Chargers are allowing 25 points per game to opposing teams this season. Seattle's offense should be in scoring position often, giving Myers plenty of chances to score fantasy points.
