Aubrey Rated Top Kicker For Week 9 Fantasy Starts

Rankings favor kickers who combine long-distance accuracy with high field-goal opportunity from offenses that move the ball but stall in scoring range.

Overview

  • ClutchPoints places Brandon Aubrey at the top of its Week 9 list because he has a strong leg, has made 15 field goals through eight games and gets long-range chances on a Cowboys offense that often settles for field goals.
  • Ka'imi Fairbairn is flagged as a safe start after converting 15 of 16 field-goal attempts and making multiple kicks of 50 yards or more, with the indoor SoFi Stadium matchup reducing weather risk for long tries.
  • Jason Myers remains recommended despite a poor Week 8 when one attempt was blocked, as his season track record (15 of 17 FGs) and past multi-field-goal games support starting him against Arizona.
  • Will Reichard, Jake Bates and Evan McPherson are spotlighted for Week 9 because each pairs strong accuracy or range with offenses that create regular scoring chances or extra-point opportunities.
  • The guide stresses that fantasy kicker value depends on league scoring, long-range bonuses and game script, so managers should target kickers on teams that reach opponent territory often but fail to finish drives with touchdowns.
