Week 4 Kicker Rankings

32 kickers ranked · HALF scoring · Updated Sep 16, 2026, 6:33 PM EDT

Projected — Week 2 is the current week

No betting lines yet. Sportsbooks have not posted totals for this week, so the scoring environment here is estimated from season scoring rates rather than taken from the market. Player roles and matchups are current; the point projections are less certain than a normal week's.

Cairo Santos of CHI is the number one kicker to stream in Week 4, with his offense implied for 34.9 points, projected for 9.8 points. 6 kickers project above nine points this week, and outside that group the spread is small enough that the matchup should decide who you start. The best option ranked outside the top ten is Jason Myers at K11 vs LAC (23.8 implied) at 8.3 projected points, which is where you look if you are picking a kicker up off waivers this week.
