Full kicker rankings follow the jump.
Kickers to start - Nate Kaeding (San Diego) - He is going to get a lot of opportunities for extra points and field goals with San Diego facing Minnesota.
Sebastian Janikowski (Oakland) - His accuracy has improved leading to better point totals. He might get the opportunity to kick some long field goals in the Mile High air.
Josh Brown (St. Louis) - The St. Louis offense has improved but not enough to consistently put the ball in the end zone. Plus, this week they face Philadelphia, which means drives will stall and Brown will be asked to kick field goals.
Kickers to bench - Steven Hauschka (Seattle) - Weak offense meets inaccurate kicker. Avoid if possible.
Dan Bailey (Dallas) - Dallas will be facing a tough New York defense. Bailey will be playing in his first regular season game.
