Updated Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings Week 15: Who to start, best sleepers and streamers at K

The 2024 season has been highlighted by a wide range of performance and production in the world of kicking. Some kickers have been absolutely lights out while others, who have typically been reliable (we're looking at you Justin Tucker), have been quite inconsistent.

Heading into the season, the record for the most 50-plus yard field goals made in a season was 11. With four games to play, Ka'imi Fairbairn has already made 12 such field goals. Chris Boswell isn't far behind with 11 kicks of at least 50 yards. On the other side of the spectrum, Jake Elliott is 0-5 on these lengthy attempts.

The accuracy of kickers can be fleeting, so fantasy managers should look to find kickers who are attached to strong offenses and will be provided with several attempts each week. If you're not interested in looking into every kicker's weekly outlook, don't worry, we have you covered with kicker rankings for Week 15.

Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings Week 15: Who to start, sit at K

These rankings were updated on Dec. 15 and will be updated throughout the week, so check back often. 

Who are the best fantasy kickers in Week 15?

Since coming into the league last year, Brandon Aubrey has spent much of his time as the most valuable kicker in fantasy. A season-ending injury to Dak Prescott has caused the Dallas offense to slow down, bringing Aubrey's fantasy value down with it. However, Week 15 offers a matchup where the Cowboys can put together several scoring drives and provide Aubrey with a few opportunities to put his leg to use. The Panthers have the league's No. 32 scoring defense and should allow an abundance of points to Cooper Rush and company.

As an appendage of the Detroit offense, Jake Bates needs to be started in fantasy every single week. Week 15 is no different, and he's our K6 ahead of a matchup with the Bills. This game opened with a total of 52.5 points and could turn into a track meet quickly. A few PATs with two or three field goal attempts sprinkled in for Bates is a perfectly reasonable expectation this week.

Cameron Dicker, aka Dicker the Kicker, has been among the most productive fantasy kickers in recent weeks. He's scored at least 12 fantasy points in three of his last four games and is now up to the K4 across the full season. Against a lacking Tampa Bay defense, Justin Herbert should have the Chargers in scoring position quite often. Expect Dicker to have another big day for fantasy managers this week.

Who are the best fantasy kicker sleepers in Week 15?

Before being placed on IR, Will Reichard was performing at a high level. Through eight weeks, Reichard was the K9 in points per game. In his first game back last week, he scored six points. The issue was the Vikings scoring six touchdowns and never slowing down to let Reichard kick a field goal The Minnesota offense is humming and Reichard will continue to benefit from their success in the form of field goals soon. He's a strong option for teams that don't have a consistent option in their kicker slot.

The Commanders were on bye last week, but they were firing on all cylinders in Week 13 heading into their week off. They scored 42 points in their destruction of the Titans. Kicker Zane Gonzalez missed both of his field goal attempts (46 and 52 yards), but an offense of this quality can sustain a high-end fantasy kicker. Against a New Orleans defense that has looked vulnerable at times, Washington should keep their foot on the gas with an extra week of rest. Gonzalez's two misses in Week 13 were his first misses of the year, so expect him to get back on track this week.
