Last Sunday was a rollercoaster for special teams across the NFL. Fans witnessed a chaotic display filled with muffed punts, failed fake punts, missed field goals, and even blocked kicks. It was a day that left many scratching their heads and wondering what went wrong. With so much happening, it was one of the wildest afternoons for special teams in recent memory.
When it comes to kickers, the performances were equally puzzling. High-profile players like Jake Moody and Younghoe Koo struggled, each missing three field goals. While Moody managed to redeem himself with a game-winning kick, Koo’s misses proved costly for the Falcons, leading to a disappointing loss against the Saints. It’s a stark reminder that even the best can have off days.

Who are the best fantasy kickers in Week 11?
Looking ahead, there are several kickers to keep an eye on. The Kansas City Chiefs may not have exploded offensively yet this season, but they’ll likely need to score big against the Buffalo Bills. If Patrick Mahomes and the offense can find their rhythm, Harrison Butker could see multiple field goal attempts. He has the leg to convert kicks from anywhere inside 60 yards, making him a reliable fantasy option.
Another kicker to watch is Jake Moody. After missing three games due to an ankle injury, he returned in Week 10 and is attached to a high-scoring San Francisco offense. Moody has consistently ranked among the top-5 kickers, and his Week 1 performance, where he scored 26 points, shows just how impactful he can be. If you have him on your roster, he could be a game-changer.
Younghoe Koo is also a name that frequently appears at the top of kicker rankings. As a top-10 kicker this season, he has delivered double-digit fantasy points four times. With the Falcons likely to find themselves in scoring positions against the Denver defense, Koo could have a strong outing, making him a must-start in fantasy lineups.
Who are the kickers on byes in Week 11?
As we prepare for Week 11, it’s essential to know which kickers are on bye. Remember, we don’t recommend holding onto kickers during their bye weeks. Instead, cut them loose, pick up another option, and hope to snag them back next week. Here are the kickers you’ll need to replace:
- Arizona Cardinals: Chad Ryland
- Carolina Panthers: Eddie Pineiro
- New York Giants: Graham Gano
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Chase McLaughlin
Who are the best fantasy kicker sleepers in Week 11?
If you’re looking for sleeper options, keep an eye on Austin Seibert. After being sidelined with a hip injury last week, he’s now at 32 percent rostership in Yahoo! leagues. If he returns in Week 11, he could be a tremendous asset. Seibert has averaged 13.3 PPG this season, the highest of any kicker. As soon as he’s back on the field, he should be a priority add in every fantasy league.
Another sleeper to consider is Jason Myers, who is still available in many leagues after his bye in Week 10. The Seahawks are set to face the 49ers, a matchup that could turn into a high-scoring affair. With DK Metcalf back in the lineup, the Seattle offense has shown it can move the ball effectively, providing Myers with ample opportunities to score. He’s a solid choice for those in deeper leagues hoping for a shootout.
With all this in mind, Week 11 promises to be an exciting one for fantasy football enthusiasts. Whether you’re looking to make a splash with your kicker or simply trying to stay afloat, the right choices can make all the difference. Get ready to set your lineups and enjoy the thrilling action ahead!
