When it comes to this year's Fantasy Football draft, kickers – as they are every year – are never worth drafting until very late in the drafts. Many smart fantasy drafters will even wait until the final two picks of the draft to choose a starting and backup kicker and some will even choose to not get a backup since most kickers are worth limited points every week. Only few kickers – those on teams who don’t score a lot of touchdowns and rely on field goals – are worth even reaching for in a fantasy draft.

Here is a look at the 2017 fantasy football draft kicker rankings as the NFL training camps are officially underway.

Tier 1: Kicker Rankings

The first tier of 2017 fantasy football draft kicker rankings are those players you want to target in the mid rounds of most drafts. When it comes to finding starting kickers earlier in drafts, there are very few that are worth the reach. With even backup quarterbacks and running backs more valuable than a Top Tier kicker, the players need to be very special to reach higher than double-digit rounds to grab one. Here is a look at the top tier of kickers based mostly on field goal opportunities, kicking accuracy, and a possible bonus for the ability to kick longer field goals.
