Fantasy football managers looking to stream kickers for Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season have several top options available on the waiver wire, led by Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass and Las Vegas Raiders kicker Matt Gay. Evaluating offensive efficiency, game environments, and recent scoring volume helps managers secure crucial points at the position.
Tyler Bass Leads Buffalo Bills Into Monday Night Football Matchup
Tyler Bass remains widely available on waiver wires despite kicking for a high-powered Buffalo Bills offense averaging over 30 points per game, si.com reported. Bass delivered 9.0 fantasy points in Week 4 by hitting two field goals and three extra points against the Los Angeles Chargers, bringing his season average to 8.8 fantasy points per game. FantasyPros noted that Bass is 6-of-6 on field goals and 13-of-14 on extra points on the year, while the Bills as a team average 31.8 points per contest.
Heading to SoFi Stadium for a Monday Night Football game against the Los Angeles Rams, Bass gets an indoor setup that eliminates weather variables like wind and rain. That environment guarantees plenty of extra point and field goal volume in a fast-paced game. FantasyPros lists Bass at 22 percent rostered, while BVMSports places his roster percentage at 21 percent.
Matt Gay Benefits From Las Vegas Raiders Offensive Rhythm
Matt Gay enters Week 5 coming off a 13-point fantasy outing against Kansas City where he converted all four of his field goal attempts and one extra point, according to si.com. Gay is perfect on the season for the Las Vegas Raiders, converting all 10 of his field goal tries and all nine extra point attempts.
Playing on the road against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Gay serves as a high-floor waiver option that remains available in nearly all leagues at just five percent rostered.
Cairo Santos and Andre Szmyt Offer Reliable Division Floor Options
Cairo Santos sits at 35 percent rostered according to FantasyPros. FantasyPros also noted that Santos is 7-of-8 on field goals and a perfect 13-of-13 on extra points, benefiting from an offense that has put up 27 and 23 points over the last two weeks. Ben Johnson is mentioned in relation to the Bears’ offense.
The Bears travel to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers in a divisional rivalry game projected for high volume. Szmyt travels to MetLife Stadium to face the Jets in a game script that favors field position and field goal tries.
Chris Boswell Returns Home to Host Indianapolis Colts
Boswell brings a season average of 8.1 fantasy points per game into a home matchup at Acrisure Stadium against the Indianapolis Colts. FantasyPros noted that prior to Week 4, only five teams had allowed more points to opposing kickers than the Colts.
That tendency provides veteran consistency and multi-kick upside for fantasy managers seeking a Week 5 streamer.
