Throughout the year, we’ve had a hard time coming to a consensus on a top-ranked kicker. This week though, both our rankers agree that Stephen Gostkowski is the top option as he and the Pats travel to Florida to take on the Jags. The rest of our rankings aren’t quite as unanimous, but they should give you a good idea of who to start.
Here’s our top 15 kickers for NFL week 16:

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.
