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 (Ranked K7, ADP K11)

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 (Ranked K9, ADP K18)

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 (Ranked K28, ADP K8)

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 K29, ADP K15

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.
