Best Week 9 Kicker Streamers - Fantasy Football Kickers to Pick Up and Start

Joshua Karty - Fantasy Football Kicker Streamers, Waiver Wire Pickups, Starts

The top Week 9 kicker streamers, fantasy football pickups and kicker starts for 2025. Target these fantasy kicker streaming options with strong Week 9 matchups.

With bye weeks in full swing, fantasy managers will likely turn to the waiver wire to fill their kicker position. Last weekend, several high-end options were on bye and are widely available in most leagues entering Week 9.

In this week's edition, we will spotlight a sneaky sleeper who is available in nearly 90% of leagues that could carry one of the highest ceilings on the slate.

Who are some top streaming options at the kicker position in Week 9? Let's dive in and make some winning moves.

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

 

Top Kicker Streamers for Week 9

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

Joshua Karty (LAR) vs. NO
45% Rostered

Joshua Karty is coming out of his Week 8 bye and was likely cut in most formats. However, he has a prime matchup this weekend and should continue to see ample opportunities playing on one of the top offenses in the sport. Over the last four games, Karty has attempted at least two field goals in all but one game and knocked in at least three extra points in all but one.

This weekend, he will face the Saints, who are allowing the fifth-most PPR points to opposing kickers this season. With top wideout Puka Nacua (ankle) slated to return, expect the Rams to be in scoring position all afternoon.

Michael Badgley (IND) at PIT
45% Rostered

Michael Badgley has done a solid job filling in for Spencer Shrader (knee), but has yet to have a true breakout showing. Since taking over kicking duties in Indianapolis, Badgley has taken just one attempt in each of his three games. However, much of his fantasy production has come from extra points, as he has made 12 of 13 during this stretch.

Badgley should be in a great spot to finally show off his leg in a positive game script against a struggling Pittsburgh defense. The Steelers have allowed the seventh-most points to position this season, which should provide ample opportunities for Badgley to break out. Last Sunday evening, Brandon McManus attempted four field goals against the Pittsburgh defense.

Chad Ryland (ARI) at DAL
10% Rostered

Chad Ryland is also coming out of his Week 8 bye and is a prime target for those in deeper leagues. Since missing two field goals over the first three weeks, Ryland has been perfect since Week 4 (7-for-7) and has hit all 10 of his extra point attempts. During this stretch, Ryland has knocked three field goals from 40-49 yards and one from 50+.

He will take the field in potentially the highest-scoring game of the slate, against the Dallas Cowboys. Currently, this game carries a massive 54.5 O/U on DraftKings Sportsbook, which is the highest total of the week. The Arizona offense could light up the score sheet on Monday evening, setting up Ryland for a massive day.

Jason Myers (SEA) at WSH
25% Rostered

The final kicker to consider streaming is Jason Myers of the Seattle Seahawks. Myers has had an inconsistent start to the season but carries elite upside, given Seattle's willingness to provide him opportunities from 50+ yards. Through seven games, Myers has attempted six field goals from 50+ yards and has converted on four of them.

He has also been perfect on extra points (22-for-22). On Sunday evening, Myers and the Seahawks will travel to Washington to face the Commanders, who have allowed the 10th-most PPR points to opposing kickers. Given his ability to convert from deep range, Myers is the top streaming target in leagues that provide substantial point bonuses for longer field goals.
