Kickers do not always command the same attention as quarterbacks or running backs. Everyone knows, though, that finding a reliable option can be the difference between winning and losing a close fantasy football matchup. As managers prepare their lineups for Week 10, several kickers are building momentum through consistent accuracy and strong offensive support. Meanwhile, a few under-the-radar options could provide valuable streaming value. Here's a closer look at the kickers to prioritize as the 2026 fantasy football season moves forward.
Week 10 Top Fantasy Football Picks
Ka'imi Fairbairn, HOU (@ CLE)
Ka'imi Fairbairn delivered one of the best kicking performances of the season in Week 9. He converted all five of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point opportunities. His perfect afternoon included a booming 56-yard field goal. Fairbairn's performance was particularly encouraging because he benefited from an offense capable of consistently moving the football.
The Texans face the Cleveland Browns in Week 10. That should give Fairbairn another opportunity to deliver a productive outing. His combination of accuracy, range, and offensive support makes him an excellent option. Managers should feel comfortable keeping him in their starting lineups rather than looking for alternatives on the waiver wire.
Tyler Bass, BUF (@ NYJ)
Tyler Bass continues to provide the kind of consistency fantasy football managers want from their kicker. He converted all three field-goal attempts and both extra-point opportunities in Week 9. More importantly, Bass remains a perfect 19-for-19 on field-goal attempts this season.
That level of accuracy is difficult to overlook. Bass has demonstrated that he can capitalize whenever Buffalo's offense puts him in scoring range. Playing behind one of the league's most explosive offenses gives him a strong foundation for continued production.
Buffalo faces the New York Jets in Week 10. As such, Bass should remain firmly among the top options at his position. His perfect field-goal record and the Bills' offensive firepower make him a dependable starting choice.
Spencer Shrader, IND (vs. MIA)
Spencer Shrader has quietly become one of the more productive kickers in fantasy football. His Week 9 performance against Dallas offered another reminder of his value. He converted all three field-goal attempts and added two extra points.
What made Shrader's performance especially impressive was his success from long distance. He connected from 47, 59, and 50 yards. He now has 22 successful field goals on 24 attempts this season, including eight makes from at least 50 yards.
That combination of accuracy and distance gives Shrader an appealing fantasy ceiling. Indianapolis gets the Miami Dolphins in Week 10. He is a strong starting option, particularly in leagues that reward longer field goals.
Week 10 Fantasy Football Sleepers
Jason Myers, SEA (@ LV)
Jason Myers is worth considering as a streaming option after bouncing back from a difficult previous outing. He made his lone field-goal attempt and converted both extra-point opportunities against the Arizona Cardinals. Although the workload was relatively modest, the important takeaway is that Myers successfully converted every opportunity he received.
Myers may not carry the same immediate appeal as the top-ranked kickers, but he is a reasonable option for managers searching for a dependable alternative. His recent struggles make him a less certain choice, yet the bounce-back provides some encouragement.
Dominic Zvada, NYG (vs. WAS)
Dominic Zvada is coming off an excellent performance. He deserves consideration in deeper fantasy leagues. He converted all four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point opportunity in the Giants' victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
His ability to capitalize on multiple field-goal opportunities was particularly valuable in a game where the Giants relied heavily on their kicking game to build their advantage. New York faces Washington in Week 10. That gives Zvada another chance to deliver. He remains a speculative option, but his latest performance makes him worth a look for managers needing a streaming kicker.
Charlie Smyth, NO (vs. CAR)
Charlie Smyth made an encouraging first impression as New Orleans' kicker. He converted three of four field-goal attempts and both extra-point opportunities in Week 9. Missing one field goal prevents the outing from being perfect, but Smyth still demonstrated his potential to contribute.
