The biggest variable that will present itself in Week 17 is weather. Most games are in warm locales or domes this week, but there are a few potentially worrisome spots. Oakland takes on the Broncos in Denver, which is normally a great kicking spot for Daniel Carlson and Brandon McManus in the thin air, but we’ll have to see if there will be snow on the field impacting things. The Giants host the Eagles, the Patriots host the Dolphins, the Bengals host the Browns, and the Bills host the Jets. Thankfully for us, most kickers in those games aren’t even worth using in fantasy in good weather, so stick with the names near the top of our rankings that shouldn’t have big weather issues.

It will be worth watching one injury in Week 17, and that’s Greg Zuerlein’s quad. He kicked through it in Week 16 and probably is fine, but there could be some whispers throughout the week and you wouldn’t want to be unprepared for an absence. Otherwise, though, relevant kickers have remained mostly healthy.
