We've crossed the halfway point of the NFL season, so we have plenty of data and stats to help us sort through the fantasy kicker position. However, the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, and New York Jets Jets heading to bye weeks eliminates several key kickers, so our Week 10 kicker rankings aim to help fantasy managers sort through all the variables to make the right choice at this tough position to predict.
On the injury front, Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) is still banged up, so Cameron Dicker might be in line for his second start with the Los Angeles Chargers. Otherwise, most of the stud kickers appear to be good to go for Week 10.
Fantasy managers who drafted a kicker early be looking at kicker rankings often, but it's always a good idea to have a general idea of what's going on at the position that doesn't get much publicity. This is the first time Justin Tucker fantasy managers will have to play the waiver wire game at kicker.

Kicker Streamers to Target for Week 10
Only players who are rostered in fewer than 50% of fantasy football leagues are considered streamers.
Graham Gano, New York Giants (vs. Houston Texans)
The low projected point total here might scare fantasy managers away from Gano, but he's a top seven kicker in fantasy points per game through nine weeks, despite the Giants playing in plenty of low-scoring affairs. Gano is one of the best "real life" kickers in the NFL and it's paying off in fantasy thus far.
Cade York, Cleveland Browns (at Miami Dolphins)
Among kickers who are rostered in fewer than 50-percent of leagues, York has attempted the second most field goals (18), so he's usually in position to score fantasy points. The Browns offense is just good enough to sustain drives, but it often settles for field goals – working to York's advantage.
Will Lutz, New Orleans Saints (at Pittsburgh Steelers)
Lutz has been a top fantasy kicker before in his career, and this is a solid matchup against a struggling Steelers' defense in Week 10. The New Orleans Saints offense led by Andy Dalton is shockingly one of the better units in the NFL, so Lutz should continue to get place-kicking opportunities.
Kicker Busts to Avoid for Week 10
Mason Crosby, Green Bay Packers (vs. Dallas Cowboys)
Crosby is still rostered in over 60-percent of fantasy leagues, despite rankings 26th among all kickers in total fantasy points this season. Green Bay's offense has been awful during the first half of the NFL season, and it'll face a strong Cowboys defense coming off of a bye. Crosby is not playable in any matchup moving forward.
Matt Gay, Los Angeles Rams (vs. Arizona Cardinals)
Simply put, until the Rams' offense stops looking like the Houston Texans offense, Gay is far from the fantasy radar. Matthew Stafford and company rank near the bottom of the league in a ton of offensive statistics, so even a matchup with a struggling Cardinals' defense doesn't provide Gay a solid fantasy floor.
