As the 2025 fantasy football season approaches, kickers are often overlooked but can play a crucial role in weekly matchups. RotoBaller has released updated rankings for the kicker position, highlighting top names such as Brandon Aubrey, Harrison Butker, and Jake Bates. As fantasy drafts loom, understanding where these players rank can greatly influence lineup decisions.

Justin Tucker, one of the league's all-time greats, has recently received a 10-game suspension due to off-field allegations, raising concerns about his future and fantasy viability. The Baltimore Ravens' selection of Tyler Loop in the draft indicates a transition at the position. Loop has shown potential but may face competition from undrafted rookie John Hoyland. Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers' kicking battle between Matthew Wright and rookie Ryan Fitzgerald could impact fantasy managers, as Fitzgerald’s impressive college performance makes him a contender.
