Best Week 4 Kicker Streamers - Fantasy Football Kickers to Pickup and Start

September 27, 2025

The top Week 4 kicker streamers, fantasy football pickups and kicker starts for 2025. Target these fantasy kicker streaming options with strong Week 4 matchups.

We're back with tiered kicker rankings for Week 4 of the 2025 season and a late-week look at the top fantasy football kickers available in most leagues.

Look at Spencer Shrader, racking up over 40 fantasy points so far this season. He's got more fantasy points than star players like Ricky Pearsall, Courtland Sutton, Kyren Williams, Dak Prescott.

Kickers can help you win a matchup just as much as a WR2, depending on volume. It's essential to pick up the right kicker if you go that route, and this week provides us with some great options.

Top Kickers Streamers for Week 4

Only players rostered in fewer than 65% of fantasy football leagues are considered potential streamers.

Matt Prater (BUF) vs New Orleans Saints
48% Rostered

After converting all of his attempts in his first two games of the season, Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater came back to earth somewhat in a Week 3 win over the Miami Dolphins. Prater badly missed a 39-yard field goal to the left, but he hit a game-sealing 48-yarder late in the fourth quarter and nailed all four extra-point tries. Having already cashed in on seven field goals and nine PATs, the 41-year-old ranks fifth among kickers in fantasy points this season.

Prater enters a juicy matchup in Week 4 versus the New Orleans, who have thus far given up the third-most fantasy points to kickers. On the other hand, the Bills are averaging a robust 34 points per game. Their top-tier offense has given Prater plenty of opportunities this year, and that's unlikely to change on Sunday against perhaps the worst team the Bills will face this year.

Joshua Karty (LAR) vs Indianapolis Colts
6% Rostered

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty is riding plenty of momentum after a tremendous performance against the Philadelphia Eagles last week. However, he'll fall back off the fantasy radar this week against the Indianapolis Colts for a couple of reasons. First, Karty's four field goals and two extra points last week were likely a statistical anomaly, as he had previously attempted just two field goals over the first two weeks of the season.

It's also worth noting that while Karty did make four field goals, he also missed two, indicating some accuracy problems going forward. Furthermore, the Colts' defense has been stingy this year, which rubs off on kicker fantasy value. In fact, Indianapolis has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to kickers in 2025. Managers should feel compelled to add someone else off waivers this week and leave Karty untouched.

Spencer Shrader (IND) @ Los Angeles Rams
40% Rostered

Indianapolis Colts kicker Spencer Shrader has been busy to start the year, hitting 11 of his 12 field-goal attempts and all 10 of his extra-point tries. The veteran kicker will look to keep it going in a Week 4 road matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams have been generous to fantasy kickers thus far, allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far.

The Colts have employed one of the best offenses in the league through three games and Shrader should continue to see plenty of point-scoring chances heading into Week 4. Treat him as a top-12 fantasy kicker this weekend.

Tyler Loop (BAL) at Kansas City Chiefs
65% Rostered

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop finished outside of K1 territory for the first time in Week 3. The biggest reason is that the Ravens weren't settling for field goals as they tried to claw out a comeback win in the fourth quarter against the Detroit Lions. Still, Loop made a 41-yarder and all three of his extra point attempts.

The offense should still be able to move the ball downfield in their Week 4 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs, and they'll especially need more points if the defense continues to give up the most points in the league. That means Loop should see plenty of opportunities, which keeps him in K1 territory heading into this matchup.

Will Reichard (MIN) @ Pittsburgh Steelers
10% Rostered

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard should be viewed as a fringe starter for this week's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Ireland, the first of two European games for Minnesota. The second-year kicker has been terrific so far in 2025, connecting on all six field-goal attempts, all seven PATs, and setting a franchise record with a 62-yard make.

The Steelers are one of the tougher matchups for fantasy kickers, however, and the Vikings are facing an unusual variable this week: the turf. In the past, NFL players have complained about slippery surfaces in some of the international games played in soccer stadiums, which is particularly relevant for Reichard. He's still a mid-range option given his good form, but managers should evaluate other options, too.

Jake Elliott at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
54% Rostered

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott hit all three of his extra point attempts last week against the Rams, but did not try any field goals. The Philly offense started off slow against Los Angeles, going three-and-out on four straight drives in the first half then following that up with a fumble on their second play in the third quarter.

It was uncharacteristic for this team and Elliott is still yet to miss a kick this season. Fantasy managers should continue to rely on him as he enters a Week 4 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
