7. Adam Vinatieri, Indianapolis Colts
Vinatieri is proof that age is just a number. With 2,006 career points, he is the active scoring leader among all NFL players and fifth all time. And you could argue that last year was his best season — 139 points despite missing a game. He also was fantasy gold on attempts between 40 and 49 yards, racking up 60 points on those kicks. No other kicker even topped 50.
6. Nick Novak, San Diego Chargers
Novak has been plagued by inconsistency his entire career. Even last season, his best as a pro, he alternated between single- and double-digit fantasy point performances seven times, more than any other kicker in the league. On the plus side, he did lead in fantasy points on field goals of less than 40 yards (69) and was 11-for-11 on kicks of 40 or longer.
