Week 7 Kicker Rankings

32 kickers ranked · HALF scoring · Updated Sep 29, 2026, 6:01 AM EDT

Projected — Week 4 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.

Eddy Pineiro of SF is the number one kicker to stream in Week 7, with his offense implied for 30.6 points, projected for 9.8 points. 9 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 Chase McLaughlin at K11 at CAR (25.0 implied) at 8.8 projected points, which is where you look if you are picking a kicker up off waivers this week.

Past weeks are scored against actual results.
