Fantasy Kicker Rankings for Week 9: Aubrey Leads, Streamers Emerge as Byes Shake Up Lineups

As Week 9 of the fantasy football season arrives, managers are reminded that only two teams—the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans—are on bye. This means fantasy rosters will be without kickers Chris Boswell, a top option, and Joey Slye, forcing managers to seek streaming alternatives.

The NFL's international series continues this week, with the Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons set to play at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, on Sunday. This matchup could influence kicking decisions, as the environment may affect performance.

In the latest rankings, Cam Little and Cairo Santos are climbing, thanks to favorable matchups and recent consistency. Conversely, Spencer Shrader and Harrison Butker are declining due to inconsistent fantasy production, making them replaceable with viable streamers. Managers are advised to check Start Em, Sit Em later in the week for detailed streaming recommendations.
