Final Kicker Ratings - 2021

FINAL KICKER RATINGS - 2021

Ratings are based on a formula that adds points for a successful field goal, and subtracts points for a missed field goal.  The amount added or subtracted changes based on factors such as field goal distance, weather conditions, temperature, and stadium altitude.  See our methodology.

Week 15 includes all games from December 11-January 10.

Key:
888 and -888 = Did not attempt a field goal --- USED FOR WEEKLY RANKINGS
999 and -999 = has less than 10 FG attempts so far this season --- USED FOR TOTAL SEASON RANKINGS

"Week 15 Rank" is based on "Week 15 Score."

"Season Score," used to be an accumulation of points earned throughout the season. New in 2021, the "Average Score per Kick" will also factor into the Season Score.  We've determined this is a better way to measure kicker performance. The weighting will start in Week 1 with 100% of the score coming from the accumulated points.  As we move through the season, the "Average Score per Kick" will become a significant part of the "Season Score" calcuation. The expected weights for the "Average Score per Kick" will be:  Week 1: 0%, Week 2: 10%, Week 3: 20%, Week 4: 25%, Week 5: 30%, Week 6-9: 35%, Week 10-15: 40%.

Lou Groza Award:  SF = Top 20 Semi-finalist as of November 3, 2021.
