The Top Kickers To Start in Week 6
Jake Elliott, Philadelphia Eagles
Fantasy’s top-scoring kicker for the season not only comes with a nice floor, given the potency of this offense, but a high ceiling, given that he has drilled at least three field goals in four of five games this season.
Tyler Bass, Buffalo Bills
Like Elliott, Tyler Bass’ floor is elevated due to the consistency of his offense. The Buffalo Bills are an aggressive offense that is happy to force the issue as they near the goal line, an offensive philosophy that can cap a kicker’s upside.

That’s not a major concern for Bass, as he has proven to be a reliable leg from distance. He has a 50-yard made field goal in the majority of games this season, making him the perfect fit for this Bills offense and elite fantasy option.
