Week 3 Fantasy Kicker Rankings: Aubrey Leads, Loop and Prater Rise as McPherson Outlook Shifts

Managers should prioritize matchup-driven volume over name value this week.

Overview

  • Dallas kicker Brandon Aubrey holds the top spot after a 64-yard game-tying kick and 46-yard overtime winner, with the Cowboys expressing confidence in his long-range attempts.
  • Ravens rookie Tyler Loop remains a recommended start after a perfect 11-point Week 2 and now draws a Lions matchup projected among the week’s highest totals.
  • Bills veteran Matt Prater is 6-for-6 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra points since replacing Tyler Bass and profiles as a strong streaming play against Miami.
  • Evan McPherson’s value is uncertain with Joe Burrow out and Jake Browning starting, despite a flawless start and last season’s 72.7% field-goal accuracy raising concern.
  • Will Reichard is a viable streamer in a home dome versus Cincinnati, while Chase McLaughlin is downgraded after early accuracy issues, and no kickers have a bye until Week 5.
