Kicker Rankings: NFL Fantasy Week 16

Tyler Bass kicking for the Bills in Chicago is a solid fantasy option this week.

Trying to pick a kicker for fantasy purposes is always very difficult. You can try to pick based on the matchup, but that doesn't often work well. At this point, fantasy managers need to really look at the weather. On Thursday night, for example, the New York Jets host the Jacksonville Jaguars and there's a chance of heavy rain during the game at MetLife Stadium. This is not exactly ideal kicking weather, so keep that in mind (Greg Zuerlein is ranked No. 19; Riley Patterson is ranked No. 21).

Sometimes, the weather just doesn't matter. Tyler Bass, for example, is playing in Chicago. While the Windy City may see a lot of snow tomorrow and Friday, it will just be cold this weekend. Bass is ranked No. 8 and has the most fantasy points among all kickers this season. Start him with confidence.
