Kickers have been more accurate than ever from long range in 2024, making it critical for fantasy managers to find breakout kickers. Below we take a look at a trio of kickers who would be strong streaming options for fantasy football managers in Week 10.
Austin Seibert
Washington Commanders (vs. PIT)
Austin Seibert has bounced around the NFL, appearing for five different teams in six seasons. But the journeyman has caught fire for the Washington Commanders, making him one of the best sneaky fantasy additions at the position this year.
Seibert is 25-for-27 on field goals this season, making him the league leader in field goals made That includes a perfect 24-for-24 on field goals under 50 yards.

The Commanders will face a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that ranks first in red-zone touchdown rate this year. That could force Washington to settle for more field goals, as the offense is only 26th in red-zone touchdown rate.
Seibert is still available in over 30% of Yahoo leagues, so make sure he is universally added before Week 10.
Blake Grupe
New Orleans Saints (vs. ATL)
Blake Grupe is 16-for-17 on field goals this year, but he’s flown under the radar thanks to injuries sapping the New Orleans Saints offense. But with Derek Carr back at quarterback, the Saints should be functional enough again to support Grupe’s fantasy value.
In Week 10, they’ll face an Atlanta Falcons team allowing the most fantasy points per game to kickers. That’s because the Falcons are a somewhat leaky defense that still does a good job of forcing field goals. Atlanta ranks 27th in points allowed per drive, thanks to a league-high 25% of their defensive drives ending in field goals.
With Grupe’s accuracy, the volume of attempts should carry him to a strong fantasy floor in Week 10. Grupe is available in roughly 90% of both ESPN and Yahoo leagues, making him the top streaming option for this week.
Will Reichard
Minnesota Vikings (at JAX)
Will Reichard has been perfect so far in 2024. The Minnesota Vikings kicker is 14-for-14 on field goals and 20-for-20 on extra points. He is the only kicker to go 10-for-10 or better on both this season.

In Week 10, the Vikings face a Jacksonville Jaguars defense allowing the third-most points per drive this season. While that will mean plenty of touchdowns, it also increases Reichard’s chances of seeing multiple field-goal attempts.
Given his accuracy for an above-average offense, make sure Reichard is rostered ahead of this favorable matchup.
