Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings: Who to Start in Week 9?

Two of the top fantasy kickers are off the board this week, thanks to bye weeks. Tampa Bay Buccaneers PK Chase McLaughlin and New York Jets kicker Nick Folk will need to be replaced, but there are plenty of quality matchups to lean on.

Any of the options in the top 15 are viable plays, and many of them remain on waiver wires even after midweek processing.
