One of the toughest positions to judge each year is the kicker for fantasy football managers because it can be easier to get sucked into the excitement surrounding the elite options.
There are some clear stars when it comes to the kickers, but the ADP reflects the demand that surrounds those players.
That can mean it becomes a little bit of a scramble if managers feel like they have to secure one of the top three to five kickers. That can often be a mistake because the draft capital spent does not correlate with the output in terms of fantasy points compared to the rest of the position.
The rankings below are a consensus of our fantasy analysts, and they shape the redraft values in our fantasy football trade analyzer.

Which Kickers Should You Draft in 2024?
Justin Tucker
At a position that constantly sees dramatic swings from year to year regarding production, Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been a consistent top option.
Tucker’s Fantasy Production:
- 2023: Second highest-scoring kicker
- 2022: First highest-scoring kicker
- 2021: Third highest-scoring kicker
- 2020: Seventh highest-scoring kicker
- 2019: Third highest-scoring kicker
- 2018: Second highest-scoring kicker
- 2017: Fourth highest-scoring kicker
- 2016: Second highest-scoring kicker
- 2015: Seventh highest-scoring kicker
- 2014: 11th highest-scoring kicker
Tucker has been a top-12 kicker for 10 straight seasons. To say he has been the model of consistency feels like an understatement.
Tucker has the leg power to regularly convert on attempts of 50+ yards. The overall production of the Ravens’ offense last year likely had an impact on the lack of attempts of 50+ yards last year, but his track record should make you feel confident he is still among the elite options at the position.
Even for a player who has been consistently great at the position over his entire career, I’m still unlikely to reach to acquire Tucker’s service on draft day. Yet, I feel like if there is one kicker who is worthy of consideration, Tucker is the best candidate.
Brandon Aubrey
When you are the kicker of the league’s highest-scoring offense, it generally leads to great fantasy success.
When you combine that with 10 makes on 50-yard field goal attempts, then that almost ensures you are going finish the year as the top-scoring kicker in fantasy football.
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is coming off an outstanding season where he converted on 94.7% of his field goal attempts and finished behind only Tucker in extra points made in 2023.
The Cowboys’ offense is projected to still be among the highest-scoring units in the league, which should give the second-year player a path to building off of his outstanding rookie campaign in 2024.
