We're not sure what's more impre sive: That you made it to your fantasy football championship game or that we all have (almost) made it to 2022. Either way, there's no better way -- literally, no better way -- to celebrate than to check out our Week 17 fantasy kicker rankings.
Also, we don't know for sure you made it to your fantasy championship game, but why the hell else would you reading this?

There are some good kickers in those matchups; however, none are in statistically favorable matchups. We don't pay that much attention to those numbers when it comes to ranking kickers, so don't get too nervous if you have Matt Prater (@ Cowboys) or Greg Zuerlein (vs. Cardinals).

As far as "sleepers" go, you could try Jason Meyers (vs. Lions), Chase McLaughlin (@ Steelers), Cairo Santos (vs. Giants), Robbie Gould (vs. Texans), Jason Sanders (@ Titans), and Lirim Hajrullahu (@ Saints), a suming all are active. All are widely available and have top-10 matchups. Hajrullahu is also indoors, but we simply don't trust him or his offense. However, if you're just throwing darts, he's as likely as virtually anyone to have a three-FG day.

Just find a reliable, big-legged kicker who you can reasonably expect to get scoring chances. From there, just hope he makes his kicks and you can count your money at the end of another long season.
