We say it every week, and it could prove as true this week as ever — kicker swing fantasy football matchups. This is shaping up to be a high-scoring week, and with that in mind, any edge you can gain is critical. Here are my fantasy kickers rankings this week.

The Top Kickers To Start in Week 11
Cameron Dicker, Los Angeles Chargers (at Packers)
Dicker hasn’t missed a field goal since September, and that level of accuracy has allowed him to rack up 43 fantasy points over the past four weeks.

Both of these teams operate at an above-average pace of play, something that should elevate the possession count. I expect the Chargers to be playing with a lead, and if that’s the case, they will be willing to settle for field goals down the stretch as opposed to pushing the envelope on fourth down.
Greg Joseph, Minnesota Vikings (at Broncos)
Kicking at altitude is never a bad thing, and with Joseph scoring at least nine fantasy points in five of his past six games, the floor/ceiling combination is strong. Will the Joshua Dobbs experience continue to score at a high rate against a defense trending in the right direction?
Maybe, maybe not. But his athleticism should allow them to move the ball over midfield on a consistent basis at the very least, and that puts Joseph in a spot to keep rolling.
