Top Kicker Streamers for Week 9

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

Andre Szmyt (CLE) @ New Orleans Saints
2% Rostered 

Andre Szmyt has enjoyed a strong first half in his second NFL season and has a top matchup this weekend against the New Orleans Saints. Through eight weeks, the second-year kicker has gone 16-for-18 while knocking in 11 of his 12 extra points. He has been perfect from 50+, hitting both attempts, and has been given a decent volume, attempting at least three fields in three games.

This weekend, the Browns face the Saints in a weather-free matchup in a dome, giving him an even greater opportunity to convert. In addition, the Saints are going into Week 9, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to the position, which gives Szmyt not only a high floor but also a clear path to finish in the top 12.

Drew Stevens (WAS) vs. Los Angeles Rams
11% Rostered

The 22-year-old is coming off the best effort of his debut season and remained widely available heading into Week 9. During this victory over the Eagles, Stevens went 4-for-5 on field goals, including one from 50+ yards out. Prior to this contest, Stevens attempted only three or more field goals in one game and averaged a modest 6.7 FPTS per game.

However, with Jayden Daniels back under center, this Washington offense should continue to gradually improve as the season progresses. This weekend, the Commanders face the Los Angeles Rams, a top matchup for opposing kickers. Through eight weeks, they have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers. Washington will need points to stay in this game, so managers should expect them to lean on Stevens, even in longer ranges.

Matt Gay (LV) @ San Francisco 49ers
38% Rostered

The veteran kicker enjoyed a hot start to the 2026 season but has hit a bit of a skid. In the first six games, Gay went 14-for-15 and converted all 14 extra points. During this stretch, he averaged a strong 9.3 FPTS per game and attempted at least three field goals in three games.

However, over his last two games, Gay has averaged just 8.5 FPTS per game and is coming off a contest in which he attempted just one field goal. Despite this, Gay should be in a prime position to rebound as the Raiders punched in five touchdowns last week against a struggling Jets defense.

Facing a much tougher 49ers defense, which has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers, should provide him with a much more favorable game script.

Dominic Zvada @ Philadelphia Eagles
2% Rostered

The final name we will discuss is also a rookie like Stevens. Zvada enjoyed a great start to his career, going 9-for-9 over the first four weeks while hitting three field goals from 50+ yards out. However, he then hit a brief skid, going 4-for-9 over his last three contests, with three of the misses coming from longer ranges.

Despite this, managers should feel confident turning back to the rookie in this plus matchup. This weekend, the Giants will face an Eagles defense that just surrendered double-digit fantasy points to Stevens last Sunday night and enters Week 9 allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing kickers.

Streaming him carries risk, as he enters this game on a skid. However, those looking for an upside play should consider taking the risk, as he has a path to being a borderline top-10 kicker on Sunday.
