32. Greg Joseph, FA
It's fair to wonder if Greg Joseph still has anything left in the tank. If there are some injuries to kickers on this list this season, Joseph is just a call away and should provide a reliable veteran presence.

1. Justin Tucker, Baltimore Ravens
Until Justin Tucker hangs up his cleats, it's hard to slot him anywhere else but the top of this list. Tucker's efficiency was slightly down in 2023, but we're expecting a big bounce back in 2024.

2. Brandon Aubrey, Dallas Cowboys
It's difficult not to be impressed with Brandon Aubrey of the Dallas Cowboys. Aubrey nailed an NFL high ten kicks over 50 yards last season, landing him right in the mix for the leagues best kicker.
3. Jake Moody, San Francisco 49ers
Although Jake Moody wasn't relied upon to kick many field goals in 2023, he still led the NFL in PAT's, nailing 60/61 attempts. It will be interesting to see if he's relied upon more as a field goal kicker in 2024.
4. Jake Elliott, Philadelphia Eagles
Jake Elliott had another stellar campaign for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024. Elliott hit on 30/32 field goal attempts, paired with 45/46 PAT's. Elliott remains the definition of efficiency.
5. Harrison Butker, Kansas City Chiefs
Harrison Butker does exactly what you'd want from one of the NFL's top kickers. Butker was great in the regular season, drilling 33/35 field goals for the Kansas City Chiefs.

6. Jason Sanders, Miami Dolphins
Jason Sanders converted on more than 85% of his field goals for a dominant offense in Miami last year. That's exactly what you're looking for from a kicker that has the ability to land over 90% if everything goes his way.
7. Tyler Bass, Buffalo Bills
With the amount of touchdowns the Buffalo Bills score, Tyler Bass hasn't had a heavy workload of late. Bass nailed 24/29 field goals in 2023. Will the Bills offense take a step back and need Bass more in 2024?
8. Evan McPherson, Cincinnati Bengals
Evan McPherson could probably be higher on this list, but we need to see more efficiency from him this year. In a Bengals offense that projects to be better in 2024, he'll need to convert on more than 26/31 field goals.
9. Younghoe Koo, Atlanta Falcons
Younghoe Koo has the talent to be a top kicker in the NFL. It wasn't the most consistent year for him last season, finishing with 32/37 field goals, paired with 27/28 PAT's. Still, his leg is right up there with the best in football.
10. Ka'imi Fairbairn, Houston Texans
It wasn't an incredibly active season for Ka'imi Fairbairn with the Houston Texans. Fairbairn was as reliable as ever, hitting 27/28 field goals and 21/22 PAT's.
11. Chris Boswell, Pittsburgh Steelers
The options are few and far between for kickers you want on your side with the game on the line over Chris Boswell. The Pittsburgh Steelers kicker nailed 94% of kicks in 2023, highlighted by six through the uprights of 50+.
12. Greg Zuerlein, New York Jets
Greg Zuerlein remains a top threat as a kicker for the New York Jets. He might not be as busy in 2024 with a much strong offense likely on tap for the Jets. Still, when his name is called, you can have a lot of faith in what you're getting.
13. Cameron Dicker, Los Angeles Chargers
Cameron Dicker was dynamite in 2023 for the Los Angeles Chargers. Dicker nailed 94% of field goals (31/33), including seven from 50 yards and beyond. Another strong year from Dicker should elevate him into the top 10.
14. Jason Myers, Seattle Seahawks
Jason Myers had another strong season last year for the Seattle Seahawks. Although you'd like for him to be a little more consistent from long range, he's still a reliable option heading into 2024.
15. Matt Gay, Indianapolis Colts
Matt Gay was tasked with a difficult workload in 2023. Although he hit just 81% of field goal attempts, he did nail eight kicks from 50+ yards, highlighting his overall strength as a veteran kicker in the NFL.
16. Cairo Santos, Chicago Bears
Cairo Santos is looking to build off a very strong season with the Chicago Bears in 2023. Santos put 92% of field goal attempts through the uprights, which should give fans of the Bears some confidence in their kicking game this season.
17. Jake Bates, Detroit Lions
Jake Bates is expected to hold down the fort in 2024 at kicker for one of the top offenses in the NFL. The Detroit Lions signed Bates of Arkansas, and he's been absolutely nails to this point in the preseason. The Lions have likely found their next kicker here.
18. Joshua Karty, Los Angeles Rams
It's always difficult to figure out where to slot in rookie kickers on these rankings. Joshua Karty was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Karty had a standout career at Stanford, and is expected to be the Rams starting kicker in Week 1.
19. Chase McLaughlin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Chase McLaughlin continues to be a solid presence for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the kicking department. McLaughlin was successful on 94% of his field goals last season, which included seven from 50+. Not many were more effective than McLaughlin in 2023.
20. Dustin Hopkins, Cleveland Browns
Dustin Hopkins has solidified his role as the starting kicker for the Cleveland Browns after a trade on August 22. Hopkins is coming off a dominant season for the Browns, which saw him nail 33/36 field goals, and eight from 50+.
21. Daniel Carlson, Las Vegas Raiders
Daniel Carlson had another strong season for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2023. With the Raiders looking to build off some second-half success in 2023, Carlson bringing a consistent presence to their kicking game will help.
22. Wil Lutz, Denver Broncos
Wil Lutz is coming off another solid season in the NFL. Although he might not have the leg that he once did, he still was able to drill 88% of field goal attempts in 2023.
23. Anders Carlson, Free Agent
Anders Carlson was a late cut candidate by the Green Bay Packers after a middling 2023 campaign. We're still bullish that this player belongs in the NFL, and he'll likely catch on elsewhere.
24. Nick Folk, Tennessee Titans
Yes, Nick Folk is still in the NFL. He's also still bringing some consistency to the table. Folk drilled 97% of field goal attempts through the uprights last year, and will look to find a similar rhythm in 2024.
25. Cam Little, Jacksonville Jaguars
It will be interesting to see what Cam Little can do in his first year as the Jacksonville Jaguars kicker. Out of Arkansas, Little has the upside to be a major player in the kicking game.

26. Brayden Narveson, Green Bay Packers
After moving on from Anders Carlson, the Green Bay Packers named Brayden Narveson their starting kicker entering 2024. Narveson is a rookie out of North Carolina State, and will look to make his presence felt in the kicking game on what we expect to be a high-scoring offense.
27. Eddy Pineiro, Carolina Panthers
Eddy Pineiro continues to chug along in the NFL with the Carolina Panthers. Pineiro didn't have a standout season in 2023, but he still managed to place 86% of field goal attempts through the uprights, including five from 50+.
28. Will Reichard, Minnesota Vikings
Will Reichard is stepping onto the NFL scene as a rookie kicker after a dominant showing during collegiate career at Alabama. Although there are question marks with the Minnesota Vikings offense, Reichard should be money when called upon.
29. Graham Gano, New York Giants
Graham Gano continues to be a weapon for the New York Giants. Although it's fair to question how consistent he'll be at this stage of his career. Early indications suggest that he's still got something left in the tank to offer this team.
30. Matt Prater, Arizona Cardinals
Matt Prater has been the definition of consistency throughout his long tenure in the NFL. In an offense that shouldn't have an issue scoring points in Arizona, Prater should find himself adding more numbers to his illustrious career.
31. Joey Slye, New England Patriots
It will be interesting to follow how active Joey Slye is with the New England Patriots this season. It's expected that it'll be difficult for the Patriots to move the football this season, which could create plenty of field goal attempts.
32. Greg Joseph, FA
It's fair to wonder if Greg Joseph still has anything left in the tank. If there are some injuries to kickers on this list this season, Joseph is just a call away and should provide a reliable veteran presence.
