Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings & Start/Sit Advice (Week 6) - FantasyPros

FantasyPros’ Week 6 article focuses on kicker rankings and start/sit guidance, anchored by early-season trends. Through five games, Spencer Shrader of the Colts is averaging 58 fantasy points, projecting 197 for the season—an output the column says would be the most since 2001. Will Reichard of the Vikings is also trending up, potentially adding 50 more fantasy points than in 2025, a shift linked to Kyler Murray’s impact and the Vikings’ strong defense generating short fields and red-zone opportunities. The piece also flags issues: there have been 21 missed extra points, on pace for about 71 misses (roughly 40% higher than 2025). Brandon Aubrey has made only nine field goals on 12 tries, though he remains a top-12 kicker. The article explains the K Score framework and how lower values generally indicate better kicker conditions.
