Best Week 5 Kicker Streamers - Fantasy Football Kickers to Pickup and Start

Jason Myers - Fantasy Football Rankings, Kicker Streamers, Waiver Wire Pickups

The top Week 5 kicker streamers, fantasy football pickups and kicker starts for 2025. Target these fantasy kicker streaming options with strong Week 5 matchups.

While the kicker position is often overlooked, it can be the difference between winning and losing your match in Week 5. While managers are quick to place the blame on their underperforming FLEX option, if they had selected the correct kicker on waivers, it likely would have led them to a victory.

With bye weeks beginning, the kicker landscape will shift each week as several "must-start" options are not available to put in our lineups.

Who are some top streaming options at the kicker position in Week 5? Let's dive in and make some winning moves.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

Top Kickers Streamers for Week 5

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

Jason Myers (SEA) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
25% Rostered

The first kicker we will look to target is Jason Myers of the Seattle Seahawks. After hitting just three field goals over his first two games, the Seahawks have begun to turn to him quite often in their last two games.  n Week 2, Myers went 3-for-3, including hitting a 50+ yard field goal. In Week 4, Myers went 3-for-4 and hit his third field goal from 50+ yards.

This weekend, the Seahawks could find themselves in a high-scoring affair against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have allowed the 14th-most points per game and the 16th-most PPR points to opposing kickers.

Chad Ryland (ARI) vs. Tennessee Titans
15% Rostered

Through four games, Chad Ryland has made at least two field goals in each contest while kicking on eight total extra points. Ryland has achieved this despite some of the league's top defensive units in terms of points allowed to opposing kickers.

This weekend, Ryland (and the Cardinals) will have one of the best match-ups of the season, facing the Tennessee Titans, who have surrendered the 11th-most PPR points to opposing kickers. The Cardinals should be in scoring position quite often, facing a Titans team that has surrendered at least 26 points in each of their last three and more than 30 points in two of their previous three.

Matt Gay (WSH) @ Los Angeles Chargers
25% Rostered

After opening the season with two disappointing showings, Matt Gay has begun to find his stride. In Weeks 3 and 4, Gay posted back-to-back double-digit PPR point outings, respectively. Last weekend, during their loss to the Falcons, Gay knocked all four field goals, including one from 50+ yards.

This was his third-straight made conversion on a 50+ yard attempt.

This weekend, the Commanders will welcome back their starting QB Jayden Daniels, who will be a massive boost for the offense. Even though they have a difficult match on paper against the Chargers, they have allowed the 13th-most PPP points to opposing kickers, which is what fantasy managers should look for. The Chargers will keep Washington out of the end zone, which will provide Gay with ample opportunities.

Cam Little (JAC) vs. Kansas City Chiefs
20% Rostered

After starting the season going 6-for-6, Little has hit a bit of a slump. Over his last two games, the Jaguars' No. 1 kicker has gone 3-for-5 on field goals with both of his misses coming from 40-49 yards out.

However, fantasy managers in deeper formats should consider streaming Little, as the Jaguars may have trouble finding the back of the end zone facing a potent Kansas City defense. Little has attempted at least three field goals in two games this season and could be called upon quite often if the Jaguars struggle to convert in the red zone.

Will Reichard (MIN) @ Cleveland Browns
10% Rostered

Will Reichard will look to continue his perfect start to the season in a title game against the Cleveland Browns in London. Through four games, the Browns have been one of the most potent defensive units, which is an excellent sign for Reichard, as the Vikings will likely be shut down near the red zone. However, the Browns have surrendered the 17th-most PPR points to opposing kickers.

Given Reichard's perfect start to the season, going 8-for-8 on attempts, including 3-for-5 on 50+ yard attempts, Reichard carries a safe floor and a high ceiling in what could be a productive showing against one of the top defensive units in the sport.

Nick Folk (NYJ) vs. Dallas Cowboys
6% Rostered

Nick Folk has also enjoyed a perfect start to the season, but has not had ample opportunities. Through four games, he has never attempted more than two field goals in a game. In addition, last Monday was the first time Folk attempted two 50-yard field goal attempts in a single game.

Despite his low usage, Folk has gone 7-for-7 on attempts and has a great matchup to post his best outing of the young season. This weekend, the Jets will host the Dallas Cowboys, who have surrendered the eighth-most PPR points to opposing kickers. The Jets offense should be in a prime position to be in scoring situations, as the Packers dropped 40 points on this unit last weekend.
