## NFL Fantasy 2024 Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: Kickers for Week 17
### Week 16 Recap
Week 16 was a mixed bag for fantasy kickers, with some top performers and some disappointments. The top-scoring kicker of the week was Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens, who booted five field goals and an extra point for 16 fantasy points. Other notable performances included Matt Prater of the Arizona Cardinals (14 points), Greg Zuerlein of the Dallas Cowboys (13 points), and Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs (12 points).
### Week 17 Start ‘Ems
**Justin Tucker, Baltimore Ravens (vs. Pittsburgh Steelers)**
Tucker has been one of the most consistent kickers in fantasy football all season long, and he’s a safe bet to start in Week 17 against the Steelers. Pittsburgh has allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this season, and Tucker should have plenty of opportunities to score.
**Greg Zuerlein, Dallas Cowboys (vs. Washington Commanders)**
Zuerlein has been on a roll lately, scoring at least 10 fantasy points in each of his last three games. The Commanders have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this season, so Zuerlein is a good start in Week 17.
**Harrison Butker, Kansas City Chiefs (vs. Denver Broncos)**
Butker is another kicker who has been playing well lately, scoring at least 10 fantasy points in each of his last two games. The Broncos have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this season, so Butker is a good start in Week 17.
### Week 17 Sit ‘Ems
**Matt Prater, Arizona Cardinals (vs. San Francisco 49ers)**
Prater had a big game in Week 16, but he’s a risky start in Week 17 against the 49ers. San Francisco has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers this season, and Prater could struggle to find scoring opportunities.
**Robbie Gould, San Francisco 49ers (vs. Arizona Cardinals)**
Gould is a good kicker, but he’s not a good start in Week 17 against the Cardinals. Arizona has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers this season, so Gould could have a tough time scoring.
**Tyler Bass, Buffalo Bills (vs. Cincinnati Bengals)**
Bass has been a disappointment for fantasy owners this season, and he’s not a good start in Week 17 against the Bengals. Cincinnati has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers this season, so Bass could struggle to find scoring opportunities.
### Sleepers
**Evan McPherson, Cincinnati Bengals (vs. Buffalo Bills)**
McPherson has been a solid kicker this season, and he’s a good sleeper pick in Week 17 against the Bills. Buffalo has allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this season, so McPherson could have a good game.
**Jason Sanders, Miami Dolphins (vs. New York Jets)**
Sanders has been a bit inconsistent this season, but he’s a good sleeper pick in Week 17 against the Jets. New York has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this season, so Sanders could have a good game.
**Cade York, Cleveland Browns (vs. Pittsburgh Steelers)**
York has been a solid kicker this season, and he’s a good sleeper pick in Week 17 against the Steelers. Pittsburgh has allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this season, so York could have a good game.
