The Week 2 Kicker rankings are here! The Week 2 Kicker rankings are here! I know, checking these out sometimes makes you feel like The Jerk.
There are just 32 kickers to choose from each week, so it’s not rocket surgery trying to figure out who you should take. But we’ll offer a few tips on which guys you should lean toward on any given week.
Before we get into that, I thought we’d look at how the rookie kickers did in their first week.
Rookie Kickers from Last Week
One of the most exciting kicker picks among the first-year players was Nate Freese for Detroit. He had three attempts, and made two of them, with just a 28-yarder as the longest. He also made three extra points.
The Cardinals’ new kicker, Chandler Catanzaro, made both of his field-goal attempts, with a long of 44 yards out, and he didn’t get any extra points chances.
Cody Parkey replaces Alex Henery in Philadelphia, and he was perfect on all six kicks, including two field goals – with a 51-yarder.
Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos made one of two field goals, with just one extra point. Jamaal Charles will have to get it going if Santos is going to be Fantasy viable.
Finally, the Buccaneers cut reliable veteran Connor Barth for rookie Patrick Murray – and he shanked his only try wide left. He made both extra points though.
