NFL Power Rankings: NFL Kicker Rankings for Week 6

We evaluate the league’s best kickers weekly based on skill and upcoming matchups. These are our updated kicker rankings heading into Week 6. 

NFL Kicker Rankings

1. Harrison Butker – Kansas City Chiefs 

Butker remains perfect heading into Week 6. He’s cashed ten field goals and 14 extra points thus far, an excellent start to the season after an unstable 2022. In Week 6, the Chiefs meet the Broncos on Thursday Night Football. Across six career Thursday night games, Butker is 30-for-30 on all kicking attempts. 

2. Tyler Bass – Buffalo Bills

Bass tallied just two fantasy points in the Bills’ Week 5 loss to the Jaguars. Before that, he recorded 12 fantasy points in three of the Bills’ four matchups. This week against the Giants, the Bills should be more active on offense, providing Bass with more opportunities to score. 

3. Justin Tucker – Baltimore Ravens 

It’s no surprise that Tucker consistently lands in the top half of our rankings. He is a weekly must-start as one of the league’s most reliable kickers. In Week 5, he converted one field goal and one extra point. 

4. Jake Elliott – Philadelphia Eagles 

Elliott had a perfect Week 5, nailing all three field goal attempts and two extra-point tries. Philly’s offense has struggled in the red zone this season, putting Elliott in field goal range more frequently. 

5. Jake Moody – San Francisco 49ers 

Moody continues to shine in his first year as a pro. In Week 5, the rookie nailed six extra-point tries and did not attempt a field goal during the 49ers’ 42-10 victory over the Cowboys. He has shown impressive poise and confidence for a first-year player and is a viable option. 

6. Nick Folk – Tennessee Titans 

Folk racked up 12 fantasy points in Week 5 against the Colts. He scored at least nine points in four of five showings this season, including a 17-point performance in September. Up next, the Titans face the Raves, who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to kickers this season. 

7. Brandon Aubrey – Dallas Cowboys 

The 28-year-old rookie converted his lone extra-point try and a 50-yard field goal in the Cowboy’s loss to the 49ers. He’s been incredibly consistent this season and should see more action in Week 6 against the Chargers. 

8. Cameron Dicker -Los Angeles Chargers 

The Chargers were one of four teams to have a bye in Week 5. In Week 4, “Dicker the Kicker" made his lone field goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in the Chargers’ win over the Raiders. Up next, they host the Cowboys at SoFi Stadium. 

9. Riley Patterson – Detroit Lions 

The Lions offense has been solid to start this season. While Patterson hasn’t had many scoring opportunities, he’s 5-for-5 on field goal attempts and 19-for-19 on extra-point tries. Up next, the Lions face Tampa Bay on the road. 

10. Brett Maher – Los Angeles Rams 

Maher did not attempt a field goal and made both extra-point tries in the Rams’ Week 5 loss to the Eagles. So far this season, the veteran kicker is 10-for-10 on extra-point tries and 12-for-16 on field goal attempts, with all four misses coming from 40-plus yards. In Week 6, Maher and the Rams host a struggling Cardinals defense.
