1. Mason Crosby (GB): Crosby missed his first field goal of the season against the Bucs on Sunday. He managed to finish with five points on five extra points. All you need to know is that the Packers score lots of points. Projected fantasy points: 10.7.

2. Dan Bailey (DAL): Bailey had a solid game against the Redskins, hitting two field goals and three extra points in the overtime win. Bailey has missed one field goal all year and has singlehandedly won games for the Cowboys. Projected fantasy points: 10.0.

3. Matt Bryant (ATL): Bryant put up 11 points off three field goals and two extra points in the Falcons’ win over the Titans. This week Atlanta plays at home against Minnesota. This game will be closer than some might think, and Bryant should get plenty of action. Projected fantasy points: 9.4.

4. Shaun Suisham (PIT): Suisham has had issues with accuracy this year, hitting 16 of 21 field goals. The Steelers play a struggling Chiefs team this week, so at the very least Suisham should get plenty of extra points. Projected fantasy points: 9.3.

5. Stephen Gostkowski (NE): Gostkowski hit a good combination of field goals and extra points in the Pats Monday night victory over the Chiefs. He sent two field goals and four extra points through the uprights. Gostkowski is as reliable as they come, and a solid starting fantasy kicker. Projected fantasy points: 9.3.

Not top 5, but could be: This week’s kicker that missed the cut is San Diego’s Nick Novak. Novak went two of three on field goals last Sunday against the Bears. This week the Chargers play the Broncos. The Broncos defense has been playing really well, and will likely force the Chargers into at least a couple of field goals. Projected fantasy points: 9.2.
