Fantasy Football Week 8 Rankings: K

Just as we gave you Jay Feely last week, we're going against the Raiders to find a quality kicker for the Week 8 fantasy football rankings. The silver and black have now allowed 14 field goals and 19 extra points in seven games, tying them with the Chiefs for the most points allowed to opposing kickers.

This week, Nate Kaeding of the Chargers gets to kick against the Raiders at home. He's coming off two straight double-digit weeks in scoring, where he's hit six field goals and six extra points. Thus, the veteran is an absolute no-brainer to sit atop the ranks for this week.
Week 8 Rankings: QB | RB | WR | TE | DEF | K | Sleepers | Adds/Drops


1. Nate Kaeding, SD vs. OAK
2. John Carney, NO vs. ATL
3. Mason Crosby, GB vs. MIN
4. Josh Scobee, JAX at TEN
5. Robbie Gould, CHI vs. CLE
6. Nick Folk, DAL vs. SEA
7. Jason Hanson, DET vs. StL
8. Matt Prater, DEN at BAL
9. Lawrence Tynes, NYG at PHI
10. Ryan Longwell, MIN at GB
11. Matt Stover, IND vs. SF
12. David Akers, PHI vs. NYG
13. Rob Bironas, TEN vs. JAX
14. Neil Rackers, ARI vs. CAR
15. Josh Brown, StL at DET
16. Jay Feely, NYJ vs. MIA
17. Kris Brown, HOU at BUF
18. Steven Hauschka, BAL vs. DEN
19. Rian Lindell, BUF vs. HOU
20. Dan Carpenter, MIA at NYJ

• Gould's a good play on two fronts. First of all, going against the Browns is always nice for a kicker. Secondly, the Bears have been so awful at punching the ball in via the run, it's possible they stall and need field goals instead of touchdowns a few times.

• I love Hanson because he's such an underrated real-life kicker. That's because he's obviously been stuck on some pretty bad teams, but he's such a good, reliable kicker. It's possible the Lions can move the ball on the Rams this weekend enough to get him a few looks, so he's a good sleeper.

• Believe it or not, the Ravens have given up lots of kicker points (13 FG, 13 XP in six games). Prater will get some looks.
