Picking which kicker to start can seem like the least fun part of fantasy football.

However, this is where your other league mates are going to be lazy and not focus enough attention.

Use this to your advantage and make sure that you have the best possible kicker in your lineup every week.

To help you out, I put together this summary of our top 10 ranked kickers for week 5.

You can also check out our full list of Kicker rankings or use our free who should I start tool for an interactive way to use our fantasy football rankings.

For custom advice tailored to your fantasy team, our premium league sync tools instantly tell you who to start or sit every week.

Lastly, the Chiefs and Panthers have a bye this week so keep that in mind when setting your lineup.
