Fantasy Football Week 15 Streaming Kickers: Younghoe Koo, Will Reichard, and More

Now that we are into the fantasy playoffs (or very close to it, depending on your league's schedule), every little thing matters. During a long season, it's easy to just make a quick lineup decision without putting in much thought; it's Week 8, who cares?

When a loss means the end of your season, though, most owners who are still alive are putting in the necessary time to make the most informed decisions, even if that comes on Saturday or Sunday morning. The most overlooked positions, like kicker and defense, will be treated as crucially as your flex spot.

With the stakes raised, let's look at three kickers with good matchups in Week 15 who are widely available in fantasy leagues and can easily be picked up and inserted into your lineup. Most stats are from NFL.com.

Eddy Pineiro or Matt Gay, San Francisco 49ers vs. Tennessee Titans

We'll start with one where the kicker is a bit of a mystery, as Pineiro missed the two games prior to San Francisco's Week 14 bye and is questionable for this one. Gay filled in with Pineiro out, and he made all four field goals and all four extra points that he attempted.

Pineiro hasn't missed a field goal since taking over for Jake Moody early in the season, though he has missed four extra points. Both guys here are good enough to put in your lineup if they are active, and they have things majorly in their favor this week.

Tennessee has given up the fourth-most points per game and the third-most yards per pass attempt, and they are worse than average defending the run; there's not much else to talk about. It's easy to see that the Titans are one of the worst teams in the league, and that includes giving up 29 points to the Browns on Sunday.

San Francisco has had a trying year, suffering copious injuries on both offense and defense, but they are tied for the third-most wins in the NFC and stayed afloat without quarterback Brock Purdy. Even as things have gone wrong, the 49ers are persevering, and that includes an average offense.

Getting healthier and facing one of the worst defenses in football, whoever kicks for San Francisco is a strong option here. With upcoming matchups against the Colts and Bears the next two weeks, Pineiro looks like an excellent pickup for the rest of the season (assuming he plays this week).

Younghoe Koo, New York Giants vs. Washington Commanders

Giants/Redskins has been a heated rivalry in the past, but both teams have looked inept for stretches of 2025; these Commanders aren't your grandfather's Redskins. New York is 2-11 and Washington 3-10, racing toward the first pick rather than the top of the division.

When these teams played in Week 1, the Commanders won 21-6. It seemed destined that Washington would again compete for the NFC while the Giants continued struggling, but New York might actually feel better about things since that time because of the emergence of Jaxson Dart at quarterback while the Commanders have watched Jayden Daniels suffer multiple injuries and miss games throughout the season.

Washington has allowed the fifth-most points, quickly falling off that “contender” pedestal and into the realization that the roster is old and needs retooling. Daniels coming back healthy is the biggest concern, but the Commanders are in for a tough offseason of decisions on veteran players.

Koo has fallen from grace just as quickly as his opponents in this one, being regarded as one of the best kickers in the league before falling apart last season then losing his job after one game this year. He has made all four field goal attempts with the Giants while missing one extra point, but he had an odd play last week in which he seemed to forget to kick the ball on a field goal attempt (Koo said the ball moved so he aborted the attempt, but what did he have to lose at that point?).

Koo is a good lower-level streamer in this one based on the matchup. He's not a guy I want to trust in fantasy or real-life football often, but the outlook is positive and could put him in position to score plenty of points in Week 15.

Will Reichard, Minnesota Vikings @ Dallas Cowboys

The Vikings looked overmatched offensively after a stretch of poor play that included quarterback J.J. McCarthy looking like an instant bust. Before last week's 31-0 victory over the Commanders, Minnesota was on a four-game losing streak in which they averaged 10.5 points per game.

The matchup against Washington was super favorable for the Vikings' offense, and this one against Dallas is almost as good. The Cowboys have allowed the second-most points (nearly 30 per game!), and they are coming off a Thursday-night performance in which they gave up 44 to the Lions.

As bad as Minnesota has looked at times, they still have talented pass catchers and two feasible running backs. While quarterback is the biggest issue, McCarthy had a decent day on Sunday, throwing for 163 yards on 7.1 per attempt with three touchdowns and no interceptions. The yardage total was low, but he didn't have to do much with Vikes blowing out the Commanders, and it's the first time he has averaged even 6.0 yards per attempt since Week 2.

With the matchup again favoring Minnesota's offense, there's a decent outlook for Reichard, who has only missed two kicks all season (and they were both from over 50 yards).
