Special teams units were in absolute shambles last Sunday. There were muffed punts, failed fake punts, missed field goals, and blocked field goals all during the early slate of games. Altogether, it was one of the more wild afternoons on special teams in recent memory.
When it comes to kickers, there were several high-end talents who were off their A-game. Jake Moody and Younghoe Koo missed three field goals apiece. Moody was luckily able to redeem himself and drill a game-winning field goal, but Koo's missed kicks would be the difference in the Falcons' loss to the Saints.
Like kickers, fantasy managers need to be able to move on quickly. If your kicker, or team as a whole, disappointed last week, all you can do is move forward. There's no better way to look ahead to Week 11 than with a quality set of weekly rankings.

Who are the best fantasy kickers in Week 11?
The Chiefs haven't had a true offensive explosion yet this season, but they may need 30 points to beat the Bills this week. If Patrick Mahomes has the offense humming in a back-and-forth matchup with the Bills, Harrison Butker should be provided with multiple field goal attempts. He has the talent to knock in any kick inside of 60 yards and should always be viewed as a high-end fantasy kicker.
After missing three games with an ankle injury, Jake Moody returned to action in Week 10. Given that he is attached to a potent San Francisco offense, Moody will be regularly ranked inside the top-5 kickers. If you need to know what Moody is capable of doing as a piece of this offense, just go look at what he did in Week 1. To save you some time, he scored 26 points. Week-winning production from your kicker slot is possible with Moody in your lineup.
Younghoe Koo is another kicker who you'll regularly see atop the kicker rankings. He's a top-10 kicker on the year and has cracked double digits four times this season. The Falcons should be able to get into scoring position regularly this week, but it wouldn't be shocking if the stout Denver defense prevents them from finding the end zone. If that's the case, Koo should have a strong day in fantasy lineups.

Who are the kickers on byes in Week 11?
When it comes to kickers, we don't recommend holding anyone. When it's their bye week, cut bait, pick up another option, and hope you can get them back the following week. Given that guidance, we'll just list the players on bye from each team.
Arizona Cardinals: Chad Ryland
Carolina Panthers: Eddie Pineiro
New York Giants: Graham Gano
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Chase McLaughlin
Who are the best fantasy kicker sleepers in Week 11?
After being ruled out with a hip injury last week, Austin Seibert has dipped to 32 percent rostership in Yahoo! leagues. He was limited in two consecutive practices to end the week, so there's a reasonable chance that he will return in Week 11. When Seibert has been on the field, he's been a tremendous fantasy asset. He's averaging 13.3 PPG this season, the highest mark of any kicker. As soon as he's back on the field, he should be rostered and started in every fantasy league.
Jason Myers is another kicker who is available in the vast majority of leagues after being on bye in Week 10. The Seahawks face the 49ers on Sunday, and this divisional matchup could turn into a track meet. With DK Metcalf on the field, the Seattle offense has proven to be able to move the ball up and down the field and has provided Myers with multiple field goal attempts on five occasions this year. Myers is a quality option in deeper leagues in the hopes this turns into a shootout.
