Look for Jake Elliott to get back into top-5 fantasy kicker terrain in 2025.
Finding the right kicker for your fantasy team isn't always an exact science. Generally, you want reliable, big-legged kickers who play on high-scoring offenses that present plenty opportunities for field goals and extra points. But also, it's not sensible to draft a kicker until one of your last two draft picks.
Every kicker has a bye week, which means you're either going to have one via waivers at some point in the season or make a simple kicker-for-kicker swap. There's also more year-to-year variance on the top kickers than other positions.
Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is known for his deadly accurate cannon leg, and the Cowboys offense should have some juice with a healthy Dak Prescott and newly acquired George Pickens. Jake Bates will see plenty of opportunities for the Lions, and plays more than half his games indoors. The mile-high atmosphere in Denver is a major boost for Will Lutz, and a healthy Jake Elliott is primed for a bounce-back in 2025.
Here's the big-leg guys who can knock them in from anywhere and should be on high-powered offenses:
| RANK | PLAYER | TEAM |
| 1 | Brandon Aubrey | Cowboys |
| 2 | Jake Bates | Lions |
| 3 | Will Lutz | Broncos |
| 4 | Chase McLaughlin | Bucs |
| 5 | Jake Elliott | Eagles |
| 6 | Cameron Dicker | Chargers |
The rest are reliable guys you can with:
| RANK | PLAYER | TEAM |
| 7 | Harrison Butker | Chiefs |
| 8 | Ka'imi Fairbairn | Texans |
| 9 | Chris Boswell | Steelers |
| 10 | Tyler Bass | Bills |
| 11 | Evan McPherson | Bengals |
| 12 | Matt Gay | Commanders |
| 13 | Jason Sanders | Dolphins |
| 14 | Younghoe Koo | Falcons |
| 15 | Jake Moody | 49ers |
