With no teams on bye, the fantasy kicker rankings in the middle range are likely to determine a matchup or two in your league. Here’s how I stack up the top fantasy football kickers for the week ahead.

The Top Kickers To Start in Week 12
Jake Moody, San Francisco 49ers
The scoring consistency of the 49ers helps elevate the floor of all tethered to this offense, including Moody! He has at least three extra points in seven of 10 games this season and has reached double-figure fantasy points on four occasions.

The 49ers are a touchdown favorite and carry a strong implied total into this matchup, so fantasy managers should be confident that he can continue to be a rock-solid option at the position with the upside to potentially lead all kickers in scoring this week.
Matt Gay, Indianapolis Colts
Gay has reached 10 fantasy points five times this season, four of which have come in his past six games. He will be kicking indoors this week, something that is always a plus, while also playing a Buccaneers defense that is vulnerable through the air.
As teams attack through the air, they are either picking up chunk plays or missing the target (stopped clock and thus more possessions). Either of those outcomes works in our favor here and puts Gay on track to continue producing at a high level coming out of the bye.
