Kicker isn’t a position most of us put a lot of thought into when it comes to constructing our fantasy rosters. At least, not until we have to, when our incumbent kicker leaves us a few points short in a close loss or needs to be replaced during a bye.

That’s why it’s important to know which kickers are the best options each week (and likely available). FTW has the answers right here. But first…

Week 15 top performers

• Chase McLaughlin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (16 points)

• Cam Little, Jacksonville Jaguars (13 points)

• Will Reichard, Minnesota Vikings (12 points)

• Joshua Karty, Los Angeles Rams (12 points)

• Brandon Aubrey, Dallas Cowboys (12 points)

• Brandon McManus, Green Bay Packers (12 points)

• Chad Ryland, Arizona Cardinals (12 points)

Now, here’s who you should target this week:

5. Cade York, Cincinnati Bengals (vs. Cleveland Browns)

York has been serviceable enough in place of the injured Evan McPherson, and the Bengals' high-powered offense provides a solid floor of a few points.

4. Riley Patterson, Atlanta Falcons (vs. New York Giants)

Patterson has been a journeyman this season, so there's always some risk when it comes to this type of player, but he'll certainly be kicking to make a good impression in place of the excellent Younghoe Koo. Tthe terrible Giants should give him plenty opportunities to do so.

3. Brandon McManus, Green Bay Packers (vs. New Orleans Saints)

McManus is averaging double-digit fantasy points over his last three games and the Saints will be one of the most kicker friendly matchups he'll have in the stretch.

2. Chad McLaughlin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (at Dallas Cowboys)

I wouldn't take too many chances this time of year, so why not run it back with last week's leading scorer. McLaughlin has a great matchup against Dallas to stay hot.

1. Chad Ryland, Arizona Cardinals (at Carolina Panthers)

After going 3-for-3 on field goals and 3-for-3 on extra points in last week's win over the Patriots, Ryland has an even better matchup this week against the Panthers.
