As we approach the 14th week of the 2023 Fantasy Football season, the importance of this stage cannot be emphasized enough. Whether you're strategically securing a first-round bye, making a late push for a playoff berth, or aiming to disrupt a competitor's season, the stakes are at their highest. With Week 14 upon us, the choices regarding who to include in your lineup carry significant weight. These can potentially shape the outcome and carry substantial consequences for any misjudgments.

The final week of the fantasy football regular season is always a mix of emotions, especially for those not in playoff contention. While you'll undoubtedly miss the weekly matchups with friends, the relief from the stress of choosing a starting kicker each week is something to savor. Fortunately, you can entrust that decision to us. Our Week 14 fantasy football kicker rankings are available to assist if you've already shifted your focus away from the season.

Given the weather's recent unpredictability, it's more crucial than ever to pay attention to forecasts and opt for solid indoor options when possible. Thankfully, this week features five indoor games with some high-scoring kickers in action.

Here we will look at our NFL Fantasy Football Kicker rankings entering Week 14 of the 2023 regular season.

Teams on Bye

This week, only the Cardinals (Matt Prater) and the Commanders (Joey Slye) are on bye. this spares fantasy football owners from significant losses. Both kickers currently rank in the 20s for fantasy points this season. Nevertheless, the bye week eliminates the possibility of a favorable indoor matchup (Cardinals) and a face-off against a defense that, as of last week, was tied for conceding the most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to kickers (Commanders).

Top Fantasy Football Picks

Our top fantasy football kicker picks for Week 14 include Matt Gay, Younghoe Koo, Blake Grupe, Brandon Aubrey, and Jake Elliott. Notably, four out of these five kickers will benefit from indoor conditions. Again, that's a factor that proved significant last week. Despite Gay playing outdoors, however, his consistent performance throughout the season and a favorable top-10 matchup make him a standout choice.

In the previous week, Gay showcased his reliability by nailing four field goals in the Colts' 31-28 overtime victory against the Titans. Impressively, he has achieved double-digit fantasy football points in four of his last five games. For the season, Gay boasts a 23-of-27 record on field goals and a perfect 29-of-29 on extra points. He faces an enticing Week 14 matchup against the Bengals. This is a team that had been allowing 9.1 FFPG to kickers leading up to Week 14.

As for Younghoe Koo, he contributed to the Falcons' 13-8 triumph over the New York Jets with successful field goals from 22 and 42 yards. Having made 22-of-23 field attempts and 17-of-18 extra-point attempts this season, Koo has also demonstrated proficiency in kicks beyond 40 yards. Given the Falcons' challenges in converting drives into touchdowns, Koo remains a reliable weekly starter.

Blake Grupe converted all four extra-point attempts in the Saints' 33-28 loss to the Lions in Week 13. He maintains steady output despite the New Orleans offense's recent inconsistencies. With six or more points in three of his last five games, Grupe presents a solid option heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Panthers.

Completing our top 10 picks are Dustin Hopkins, Justin Tucker, Brandon McManus, Cameron Dicker, and Jason Sanders. While some kickers may encounter potentially challenging weather conditions, overall, these options offer reliability in mostly favorable matchups. This makes them solid choices for Week 14.

Fantasy Football Sleepers

The top sleeper picks for this week include Gay and Grupe. Why? Because both are owned in fewer than 50 percent of fantasy football leagues. This makes them appealing options if you can add them to your roster. However, numerous other valuable choices are available. Of course, some are considered safer than a few higher-ranked kickers. This is particularly true when considering weather conditions and matchups.

For those seeking indoor options, consider Wil Lutz, Chase McLaughlin, or even Daniel Carlson. McLaughlin and Carlson also enjoy top-10 matchups, enhancing their appeal. For those delving deeper into sleeper options, Greg Joseph and Eddy Pineiro offer alternatives if you prefer to avoid weather-related concerns.

In terms of matchups, Evan McPherson, Matt Ammendola, Jake Moody, and Chris Boswell all confront defenses that, entering Week 13, ranked in the top 10 in FPPG allowed to kickers. These considerations make them intriguing sleeper choices for Week 14.

Now, let's dive into our NFL Fantasy Football Kicker rankings for Week 14 of the 2023 regular season. Standard rankings are indicated in parentheses.
