Kickers are incredibly unpredictable and can get extremely hot and extremely cold in the course of the season. This year there’s been a number of young kickers that have emerged as well as some old standbys that have stayed strong and a number that have faded. From week-to-week there’s plenty of variation, including Mason Crosby plummeting out of our rankings and a new number 1.
We apologize for these rankings being later than normal due to site downtime, but Happy Thanksgiving: here’s our top 15 kickers for the coming week:

I'm an avid Boston sports fan and fantasy sports enthusiast. When I'm not blogging, I serve as Audio and Video producer as well as High School History teacher at Harvest Ministries on the island of Guam. The 14-hour time difference can make things challenging, but I'll play any fantasy sports just about anytime I can.
