Week 2 fantasy kicker rankings: Top streamers, starts

Week 2 is here, and fantasy football managers looking to find an edge at kicker have come to the right place.

Brandon Aubrey had a disappointing Week 1, but there’s no reason to panic or abandon one of the league’s most reliable fantasy options.

When evaluating kickers, the most important factor remains opportunity, and that often starts with the offense. The best kickers to target are typically attached to teams that consistently move the ball and score plenty of points, creating more chances for extra points and field goals. That makes kickers like the Bills’ Tyler Bass and Bengals’ Evan McPherson rock-solid options heading into Week 2.

With matchups and offensive expectations in mind, here are this week’s kicker rankings to help set your fantasy

lineup.
