Welcome to Week 5, fantasy fans! It’s the first week with byes, as the Chiefs and Panthers are off. That means you’ll have to prepare for a week of fantasy matchups without Harrison Butker and Ryan Fitzgerald, the latter of which finished Week 4 as a top-10 fantasy booter!
This week’s rankings include some risers in Will Reichard and Spencer Shrader, and there are a number of good streaming options based on the matchups—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em for all the details! A number of kickers have also seen their value decline, including the Niners' Eddy Pineiro and and Bucs' Chase McLaughlin. The latter had been a high-end option before the loss of Baker Mayfield.
Here are my fantasy kicker rankings as we head into Week 5. Check back on a regular basis for updates, especially after the final team injury reports come out late in the week!
