Fantasy Football Week 11 Rankings: Top 15 Kickers

As I always say, do not disregard the potential value of a kicker to your fantasy roster.  Let’s take a look at how I rank them for the upcoming fantasy week:

1. Stephen Gostkowski - New England Patriots - vs. New York Jets
2. Neil Rackers - Arizona Cardinals - at St. Louis
3. Ryan Longwell - Minnesota Vikings - vs. Seattle
4. John Carney - New Orleans Saints - at Tampa Bay
5. Lawrence Tynes - New York Giants - vs. Atlanta
6. Nate Kaeding - San Diego Chargers - at Denver
7. Mason Crosby - Green Bay Packers - vs. San Francisco
8. David Akers - Philadelphia Eagles - at Chicago
9. Nick Folk - Dallas Cowboys - vs. Washington
10. Kris Brown - Houston Texans - vs. Tennessee
11. Jeff Reed - Pittsburgh Steelers - at Kansas City
12. Dan Carpenter - Miami Dolphins - at Carolina
13. Shayne Graham - Cincinnati Bengals - at Oakland
14. Rob Bironas - Tennessee Titans - at Houston
15. Jason Hanson - Detroit Lions - vs. Cleveland

Thoughts

• Neil Rackers is one of the best kickers in the league and has a favorable matchup in the St. Louis dome against a weak team.  Would it surprise anyone to see the Cardinals pour it on this week?
• While David Akers is a tremendous kicker, who knows what the weather are going to be in Chicago come Sunday.  That certainly reduces his potential value.

What are your thoughts?  Who was left off the list?  Who should be higher?  Who should be lower?
