Chet Gresham takes us through the top 32 kickers for Week 5
So far this season our fantasy kicker leader is the Colts Spencer Shrader, who has averaged more than three made field goals per game. The Colts offense continues to move the ball well, setting Shrader up for plenty of work so far. And for some reason the top fantasy kicker is only rostered in 42% of leagues.
As for kickers who have made 50+ yard kicks this season, the Jets’ Nick Folk, who is a man and 40, is tied for the league lead with four 50+ yarders. Of course, Brandon Aubrey is one of those kickers he’s tied with. Aubrey continues to be other worldly with how well and far he is kicking this year.

Spencer Shrader, Colts
Shrader has hit double-digit fantasy points in every game the Colts have played this season. Now they get a good matchup with the Raiders, who’ve allowed 12 field goal attempts so far this season. Shane Steichen isn’t averse to kicking field goals and this game looks good for Shrader to get to doub le digits once again.
Will Lutz, Broncos
The Eagles are tied for the most field goal attempts allowed this season with 13, while Lutz has only tried five. The Broncos appear to have their offense going better than the start of the season and I expect we’ll start seeing more opportunities for Lutz moving forward.
