Best Week 8 Kicker Streamers - Fantasy Football Kickers to Pickup and Start

October 31, 2026

The top Week 8 kicker streamers, fantasy football pickups and kicker starts for 2026. Target these fantasy kicker streaming options with strong Week 8 matchups.

Hey RotoBallers! With another slate of NFL action just 24 hours away, now is a great time to review our lineup and find a potential edge. While much of the attention is on finding the perfect option for your FLEX spot, managers can also look to their kicker position for some untapped upside.

While these streaming options often come with risk, they can greatly outperform their projection and be the difference between winning and losing your matchup.

Who are some top streaming options at the kicker position in Week 8? Let's dive in and make some winning moves.

Top Kicker Streamers for Week 8

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

Tyler Bass (BUF) vs. Baltimore Ravens
35% Rostered 

Tyler Bass and the Bills enter Week 8 on a bye, which is why the veteran kicker is available in most standard Yahoo formats. However, while Bass has some intriguing upside as a streamer, he could be a weekly option going forward.

Through his first six games of the campaign, Bass has gone a perfect 13-for-13 on field goals while chopping in 18 of his 20 extra point attempts. While Bass has yet to attempt a field goal from more than 50 yards, he has converted five from 40-49 yards, suggesting the team trusts him from longer ranges.

This weekend, the Bills will face the Baltimore Ravens, who are expected to welcome back Lamar Jackson in what could be a high-scoring affair. Per DraftKings Sportsbook, this AFC clash has a hefty 54.5 O/U total, matching just one game on this slate for the highest of the week.

Drew Stevens (WAS) vs. Philadelphia Eagles
5% Rostered

Our next open comes with risks but does have a prime matchup to find success in Week 8. The Commanders are also coming off their bye and will face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. The rookie kicker has gone 10-for-12 on his first stretch of NFL games while going a similar 10-of-13 on extra points.

While this production isn't the best, he has an interesting matchup against the Eagles. Last weekend, the Eagles' defense struggled to contain Dallas as kicker Brandon Aubrey went 3-for-3 on field goals and added another three extra points. The week prior, Ryan Fitzgerald knocked in another two field goals.

Chad Ryland (ARI) @ Dallas Cowboys
5% Rostered

Like Bass, Ryland is projected to be in a high-scoring affair, which puts him on the radar. Ryland has not been the most consistent fantasy option this season, but in favorable settings, he has delivered.

Over his last two games (against opponents who are in the bottom half in points allowed to fantasy kickers), Ryland has gone 9-for-9 while converting just one extra point. Even though the Arizona offense has struggled to get in the end zone, Ryland has benefited greatly. During this stretch, the kicker has made two attempts from 40-49 yards but none from 50+ yards out.

He has now attempted at least three field goals in four of seven games and should be in a prime spot to stay busy against a struggling Dallas Cowboys defense.

Nick Folk (ATL) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
7% Rostered

The 41-year-old has not been as effective this season but should be in a good spot to produce in Week 8. Entering this weekend, Folk has eclipsed double-digit PPR options in two of his last three. This comes after failing to hit the double-digit mark in each of his first four games of the season.

During this three-game stretch, Folk has attempted three field goals in two games and gone 5-for-6 on extra point attempts. This weekend, Folk and the Falcons travel to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers, who offer a favorable matchup for kickers and allow the third-most fantasy points per game. While they shut down the Panthers last weekend, Chris Boswell converted four field goals the week prior against them.

Folk carries some risk but has the upside to turn in another double-digit effort. He is a prime target for those in 12+ team leagues.
