Streaming Kickers
Weekly kicker matchup ranker — the cleanest streaming-K tool on the public web.
Stream the kicker whose offense moves the ball but whose opponent forces field goals over touchdowns. We rank by composite of team implied total (more drives = more chances), opponent red-zone TD rate (lower = stalls into FGs), wind (long FGs are wind-sensitive), and kicker FG% (rolling 2-year). Scores are z-scored within the week, so a 0.0 = league-average matchup that week. Top 3 = elite stream (gold), 4–6 = streamable, 7+ = neutral. Click any column to re-sort.
Composite weights: implied total 0.40 · opp RZ FG-lean 0.30 · wind (negative) 0.10 · kicker FG% 0.20. This is a transparent z-score blend, NOT a backtested model. Kickers facing opponents with fewer than 2 prior games of YTD red-zone defense, or games missing market data, are excluded from the leaderboard.
Data layers: nflfastR play-by-play (FG attempts + result + kick distance), parsed kicker name from play_desc, opponent red-zone defense (yardline_100 ≤ 20), game_odds (closing total + spread), game_weather (wind, dome).
