2023 Fantasy Football Draft Rankings: Kickers
2023 Fantasy Football Players Notes
Pat Fitzmaurice shares his fantasy football player notes for a few kickers.
The gold standard among NFL kickers, Tucker ranked No. 1 last season in field goal attempts (43) and field goals made (37) and kicker fantasy scoring. Tucker was the highest-scoring kicker of 2022 in most scoring formats. Tucker has finished as a top-five scorer at the position in 7 of his 11 NFL seasons, and he’s been a top-10 scorer 10 times. His career-worst finish in kicker fantasy scoring was 11th. Tucker has converted 90.5% of his career FG attempts and 98.8% of his extra-point tries. The Ravens’ offense should be above average if QB Lamar Jackson stays reasonably healthy, and Ravens head coach Jim Harbaugh usually gives Tucker plenty of FG attempts, often electing to bank 3 points rather than go for it on fourth down when his offense is within FG range. Tucker will be the first kicker off the board in the vast majority of 2023 fantasy drafts.
One of the more talented kickers in the league, Koo has converted 90.8% of his FG attempts since joining the Falcons in 2019, and he’s gone 20-for-25 from 50 yards or longer. Koo graciously relinquished his No. 7 jersey so that rookie RB Bijan Robinson could have it. Perhaps Bijan will return the favor by turbocharging the Atlanta offense and generating additional scoring attempts for Koo (who’ll now wear No. 6). Koo finished K5 in fantasy scoring last year after finishing K18 in 2021.
When a kicker is selected in the third round of the NFL Draft, it’s reasonable to infer that the kicker is very good at putting the ball through the uprights. The 49ers took Moody with the 99th overall pick in the draft, clearly impressed by an illustrious college career in which Moody converted 69-of-84 FG attempts and all 148 of his extra-point tries. Moody set a University of Michigan school record with 29 field goals last year, with 10 of them coming from 40 yards or longer. Moody will be kicking for a team that has Super Bowl aspirations and should have a high-scoring offense.
What is Fantasy Football?
Fantasy football is a game that allows you to act as a virtual general manager for a football team. In fantasy football, you select and manage a team of real NFL players. The players on your team earn points for your team based on their real-life performance in games each week. These points are then totaled and compared to your opponent’s team each week to determine the winner.
At the beginning of the season, you participate in a draft with other fantasy football players. During the draft, you take turns selecting players from the NFL to add to your team. The goal is to build the best team possible with the players you select.
During the season, you can make trades with other players, pick up new players from the free agent pool, and even drop players from your team who aren’t performing well. You can also make strategic decisions each week about which players to start in your lineup.
Overall, fantasy football is a fun and exciting way to get more involved in the NFL season. It allows you to put your knowledge of the game to the test and compete with others to see who can build the best team. And with the right strategy and a bit of luck, you could be the one taking home the championship trophy at the end of the season!
