Week 6 Kicker (K) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings

It's Week 6 RotoBallers and we're obsessing over place kickers again! Yes, that’s right – kickers. After all, points are points, and even though kickers are very difficult to predict for fantasy points week to week, having the right one in your Week 6 lineup could be a difference maker.

We're here to give you that life changing analysis you so dearly covet, and help make your kicker start/sit and streaming decisions for Week 6. Who doesn't need a little help making those dreaded lineup decisions a bit easier, especially in the fantasy leg department?

This week we are going to narrow down our teirs to the Top 14 kickers broken down into three tiers. Some of these kickers may have good Week 6 matchups, and be available on your league’s waiver wire, so don't sleep on your chance to cash in a few extra points via the leg.

Week 6 Kickers To Start & Stream: Tiers & Rankings

Tier 1 NFL Kickers: Denver Broncos (Brandon McManus), Baltimore Ravens (Justin Tucker), New York Giants (Josh Brown), Seattle Seahawks (Steven Hauschka), New England Patriots (Stephen Gostkowski)

The big leg on campus is still racking up healthy fantasy points heading into Week 6 as the Broncos. Use him with confidence and pride as the Broncos head into Cleveland for a showdown with the team allowing 8 fantasy points per contest to kickers.

Justin Tucker continues to ball out with his leg as he enters Week 6 as the fifth leading kicker in the league. The Ravens head to the Bay Area to face the stingy 49ers defense versus kickers, but we still love his volume and attempts as he remains a tier one option for Week 6.

The man, the myth, the legend; Stephen Gostkowski has not disappointed fantasy owners in 2015 and faces the Colts on the road in Week 6. Indy is allowing an average of 9 fantasy points per contest, so he's a must start as always.

New York Football Giants great Josh Brown enters Week 6 as the second leading leg in the NFL. Through five weeks of action, only the "Big Leg On Campus" has put up more points via the leg. Brown remains a must start in Week 6 as the G-men head to Philly, a team allowing the fourth most fantasy points on average to opposing kickers, for the Monday night matchup.

Steven Hauschka gets his kicks at home in Week 6 as the Panthers head into the pacific northwest for a showdown. Although the Panthers defense has been stingy to opposing kickers, Big Steve enters Week 6 as the fourth leading scorer in the league, so his tier one status is solidified for now.

Tier 2 NFL Kickers: Chicago Bears (Robbie Gould), Atlanta Falcons (Matt Bryant), Green Bay Packers (Mason Crosby), Arizona Cardinals (Chandler Catanzaro), Kansas City Chiefs (Cairo Santos) 

Roberto Gould has more leg than people give him credit for and has already nailed an impressive three 50+ yarders in 2015. In Week 6, he takes his leg on the road to face the Lions at home (dome stadium). We love this matchup as Detroit allows the thirteenth most fantasy points per week to opposing kickers, so use the wily veteran with comfort and pride.

Matt "AARP" Bryant has another indoor matchup in Week 6 as the undefeated Falcons head to New Orleans for a team allowing the fifth most fantasy points per week to opposing legs. Use the old man with confidence and see if you can squeeze him into a few DFS lineups for a great value.

Mason "Betha" Crosby isn't rapping in Week 6, but he will be hosting the San Diego Chargers in the Packers friendly home confines. Use the stable scoring stud as a must-start versus a team allowing an average of 7.75 fantasy points per week to kickers.

Chandler "Bing" Catanzaro still earns tier two status with his high scoring and stable production. In Week 6 he draws a road matchup versus a Steelers team that allows an average of 7.75 fantasy points per game to the opposition. Use him as a DFS sleeper of waiver wire streamer if he is still available.

Cairo "Egypt" Santos is putting in work thus far in 2015 coming into Week 6 as the sixth leading leg in the league. The Vikings are allowing an average of 6.5 fantasy points per game on average, but we still like his chances of getting his work in for owners.

Tier 3 NFL Kickers: San Diego Chargers (Josh Lambo), Buffalo Bills (Dan Carpenter), Cleveland Browns (Travis Coons), Carolina Panthers (Graham Gano)

Josh Lambo "Gallardo" is making his leg's impact felt as he comes in near the upper crust of fantasy kickers thus far in 2015. For Week 6 he gets to face the Packers defense that is quite stingy; making him more of a tier three option than anything else. Use with caution and see if any tier 2 options are still available on your league's wire.

Dan "The Forgotten Man" Carpenter has a home matchup versus the generous Bengals defense in Week 6. Cincinnati allows the seventh most fantasy points per week on average to kickers, so use the veteran without any hesitation.

Travis Coons is making himself known to fantasy owners, but be aware that he faces the Broncos in Week 6. He makes the tier three cut because his scoring thus far and the fact that some of our favorite legs are on bye this week.

Rounding off tier three for Week 6 is none other than Graham "Cracker" Gano who has the fun job of taking his kicks on the road in Seattle. Surprisingly, the Seahawks are allowing a decent 7.75 fantasy points per week to opposing legs, so use him with in all league formats and get him into your FanDuel lineups of you need a DFS sleeper for Week 6.
