Kickers don't receive nearly as much attention as quarterbacks, running backs, or wide receivers, but finding the right option can make a difference in fantasy football matchups.
Week 2 provided some important clues about which offenses could consistently create scoring opportunities, while several kickers immediately established themselves as strong fantasy options.
Keep reading for our full breakdown of the kicker position for Week 3 of the 2026 fantasy season.

Week 3 K Sleepers
Trey Smack
Smack is a strong Week 3 sleeper against the Falcons. Green Bay is favored and projected to score plenty of points, giving Smack a solid chance at multiple extra points and field goals. He’s ranked as high as No. 2 in the current Week 3 kicker rankings.
Week 3 K Busts
Cameron Dicker
I’d consider sitting Dicker this week. He has scored just four fantasy points through two games, and now faces Buffalo on the road. FantasyPros also recommends moving away from Dicker after his slow start and the Chargers’ offensive struggles.
