When Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> kicker Cam Little<\/a> nailed a spectacular 68-yard field goal, he reset the bar for long-distance kicking. This season, two other place kickers have converted field goals of 60 or more yards. Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>\u2019 Chase McLaughlin<\/a> delivered a 65-yarder while two-time Pro Bowl kicker, Dallas Cowboys’<\/a> Brandon Aubrey<\/a>, converted two 60-yard kicks, connecting a 64-yard field goal along with a 61-yard kick. As 60-plus-yard kicks become the new standard, who are the Top 10 Kickers in the NFL this season?<\/p>\r\n

Ranking The 2025 Top 10 NFL Place Kickers<\/h2>\r\n

The bar for NFL place kickers continues to reach new heights as seasoned NFL veterans compete against a wave of young kickers from spring football. Earlier this season, the Green Bay Packers<\/a> signed former UFL kicker Lucas Havrisik<\/a> to replace injured veteran Brandon McManus<\/a>. In his second NFL game, the former (Arlington) Dallas Renegades kicker set a new record for the Green Bay franchise with a stunning 61-yard field goal.<\/p>\r\n

How The Top 10 Kicker List Was Compiled<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

Ranking the top 10 NFL kickers in 2025 is based on a combination of accuracy in field goals and extra points, as well as long-distance kicking ability. All the kickers on this list have converted a minimum of 12 field goals with 14 or more extra points, and kicked at least one field goal of 55 yards or more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Find out which NFL kickers are among the most consistent and reliable, giving their team the confidence to place a close game\u2019s outcome at their feet.<\/p>\r\n

#1. Cameron Dicker, Los Angeles Chargers<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Currently in his fourth season with the L.A. Chargers,<\/a> Cameron Dicker\u2019s<\/a> kicking prowess is one of the reasons behind his team\u2019s success this year. In the first 11 games, he’s converted 25\/27 field goals with a longest of 59 yards, and has been perfect with 23\/23 extra points. A boon to his fantasy managers, Dicker leads all NFL kickers with 110 points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Boasting one of the best records in the AFC, the 7-4 Chargers are in second place behind the 9-2 Denver Broncos<\/a> in the AFC West.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

#2. Brandon Aubrey, Dallas Cowboys<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

With his stunning accuracy in driving the ball through the uprights, Dallas Cowboys<\/a> kicker Brandon Aubrey is consistently one of the top-rated kickers in the league. This season in 10 games, he converted 18\/19 field goals (94.7%) and 32\/33 extra points (97%). His fantasy managers have earned 103 points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The former spring football player\u2019s (USFL Birmingham Stallions) original three-year, $2.695 million contract with Dallas is expiring after this season. In 2026, Aubrey is expected to become the NFL\u2019s highest-paid kicker, topping Harrison Butker\u2019s four-year, $25.6 million extension with the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>.

The 4-5-1 Cowboys are currently in second place behind the 8-2 Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> in the NFC East Division.<\/p>\r\n

#3. Chase McLaughlin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

One of the most talented veterans on this list, Chase McLaughlin,<\/a> is having a banner year for Tampa Bay. Currently in his third season with the Buccaneers, McLaughlin kicked the longest field goal of his career, booting a gorgeous 65-yarder in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In 10 games, he\u2019s converted 83.3% of his field goals (20\/24) and only missed one extra point (20\/21). In the process, he\u2019s earned his fantasy managers 96 points.

The Buccaneers are currently number one in the NFC South with a 6-4 record. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n

#4. Jason Myers, Seattle Seahawks<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Another NFL veteran having an impressive season is Seattle Seahawks<\/a> kicker Jason Myers<\/a>. The 11-year vet has one of the strongest legs in the NFL. With at least one field goal over 50 yards in nine of the last ten years, Myers\u2019 longest was a 61-yarder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This season, he has a 57-yard kick to his credit, connecting on 21\/26 field goals and 33\/33 extra points. To the delight of his fantasy managers, Myers delivered 107 fantasy points in 10 games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The 7-3 Seahawks are currently in second place in the very tough NFC West division, a game behind the 8-2 L.A. Rams<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

#5. Chris Boswell, Pittsburgh Steelers<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Unlike other veteran kickers on this list, Chris Boswell<\/a> has spent his entire career with one team. The 34-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> place kicker is the second-oldest on this list. Showing no signs of slowing down, Boswell kicked a career-best 60-yarder against the New York Jets<\/a> in Week 1. He\u2019s been incredibly accurate as well, converting 19\/22 field goals and all 25 extra points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Boswell is one of the top four fantasy kickers this season with 102 points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The 6-4 Steelers maintain a tight one-game lead over the 5-5 Baltimore Ravens<\/a> in the AFC North.<\/p>\r\n

#6. Eddy Pineiro, San Francisco 49ers<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Although the San Francisco 49ers have been challenged by ongoing injuries this season, 30-year-old veteran kicker Eddy Pineiro has been paying dividends in his first year with the team. He\u2019s been perfect on field goals, converting all 22, and converted 18\/22 extra points. Pineiro recorded a healthy 59-yarder as his longest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He\u2019s also been one of the most reliable fantasy kickers, providing his managers with 104 points this season.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Currently, San Francisco is in 3rd place in the very competitive NFC West division with a 7-4 record. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

#7. Cam Little, Jacksonville Jaguars<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

In addition to his exceptional 68-yard record-breaking kick, Cam Little has maintained an 80% efficiency rating for the Jaguars this season with 16\/20 field goals, 24\/25 of extra points (96%).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Earning a total of 76 fantasy points for his managers, the 22-year-old Arkansas graduate is in his second year with Jacksonville.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Jags are currently in second place in the AFC South with a 6-4 record.<\/p>\r\n

#8. Jake Bates, Detroit Lions<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Detroit Lions kickers second-year kicker Jake Bates<\/a> burst onto the NFL scene last year following his sensational debut with the Michigan Panthers. The hottest name in the UFL’s inaugural season,<\/a> Bates nailed a 64-yard field goal, his very first game. But after the kick was nullified by a penalty, the former Texas brick salesman was forced to kick again. Under enormous pressure to provide his team with a walk-off victory, Bates booted the kick straight through the uprights.

However, following a strong first year with Detroit that saw Bates named as an alternate to the Pro Bowl, he\u2019s endured a sophomore slump. In 10 games this season, he’s had two kicks blocked and converted only 13\/17 field goals and 33\/35 extra points. Nonetheless, he still has one of the strongest legs in the NFL, booting two 58-yard kicks and a 54-yarder this season, providing fantasy managers with 78 points this season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The 6-4 Lions are currently in 3rd place behind the 7-3 Chicago Bears and 6-3-1 Green Bay Packers in the very tough NFC North division.<\/p>\r\n

#9. Harrison Butker, Kansas City Chiefs<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

30-year-old Harrison Butker<\/a> is in his ninth year with Kansas City.<\/a>\u00a0 Over the course of his career, the veteran kicker has earned multiple honors and awards, including two Super Bowl rings. \u00a0However, this season, Butker has struggled. \u00a0He is 16\/19 (84.2%) in field goals and 24\/28 in extra point attempts. \u00a0His longest kick was a 59-yarder. \u00a0With only 59 points in 10 games, Butker’s fantasy stats are currently the lowest on this list.<\/p>\r\n

The 5-5 Chiefs are currently in 3rd place in the AFC West division. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n

#10. Nick Folk, New York Jets<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

The final name on this Top 10 list may come as a bit of a surprise, given his team\u2019s losing record, but Nick Folk,<\/a>\u00a0the New York Jets’<\/a> 41-year-old veteran kicker, has one of the most accurate legs in the league. Folk converted all 19 of his field goal attempts and 14 \/14 of his extra points. His longest kick this season was a solid 58-yard boot, earning his fantasy managers 86 points so far this season. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Although the 2-8 Jets are currently in last place in the AFC East division, the team is looking ahead to a strong 2026 season with a bumper crop of first and second-round draft picks. \u00a0However, one thing is certain: if Folk returns, the Jets won’t need to draft a kicker.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
