You already know the top dog is Stephen Gostkowski, the leading scorer at the position, but did you know Josh Brown (fresh off his bye), Graham Gano and Connor Barth are right behind him on a per-game basis?

I mean, Matt Bryant and Adam Vinatieri are still owned in the majority of fantasy leagues despite being consistently outscored by the majority of kickers.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at the kicker rankings for Week 12 to help you with those pickup/drop decisions.
