Top 32 Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings for 2024

Kickers are the Rodney Dangerfields of fantasy football — they never get any respect. Heck, there are even some leagues that have eliminated the position altogether. Isn't it called "foot" ball? I'm more of a traditional fantasy fan, so I'm not one to exclude them.
Here are my initial fantasy football rankings for every position, and now it's time to dig a little bit deeper into each fantasy lineup position.
Kickers won't come off the board until the last three rounds in most leagues, but the position can be an asset. Ask anyone who landed Brandon Aubrey last season. So let's look at the kicker rankings, as well as who some of the top values and busts are for 2024.

Biggest Values by ADP
Jason Sanders, Dolphins
Sanders finished as the K10 last season, averaging 8.2 points per game. He also has a strong leg, kicking a 57-yarder. Behind a powerful Dolphins offense, Sanders is a top-10 fantasy option.
Tyler Bass, Bills
Bass did not have a good fantasy season in 2023, finishing tied for 16th in points among kickers. He's usually a top-10 option, however, and I still view him as a low-end fantasy starter this season.
BIggest Risks by ADP
Will Reichard, Vikings
Reichard could be considered a fantasy sleeper, as he'll be kicking behind what should be a high-scoring Vikings offense. However, being ranked in the top 10 at the position is way too rich for me.
Graham Gano, Giants
Gano played in just eight games last year, averaging an awful 5.9 points. He should be better this season behind what will be an improved Giants offense, but I'm still saying Ga"no" to Graham.
