The kicker position changes from week to week. While matchup analysis can be useful, weather is the most important factor. Good weather always helps kickers perform better.
At this point in the season, focusing on indoor matchups becomes increasingly essential. Given the potential for strong winds and snow, it would be a disservice not to target kickers unaffected by the weather.
There are no byes in Week 13, so managers have a wide selection.

Who are the best fantasy kickers in Week 13?
There are two qualifications as we enter this point in the season for kickers: a high point total and, most importantly, indoor stadiums. Harrison Butker is an excellent start as the Chiefs will take on the Cowboys in Dallas.
Ka’imi Fairbairn is also a solid play for many of the same reasons that Butker is.
Who are the best fantasy kicker sleepers in Week 13?
Good kickers outdoors can still produce, but targeting indoors is the safer bet. Tyler Loop and Jake Elliott could totally have productive days in Week 13.
Also, going after those low-scoring games where offenses often stall can be helpful. Games such as the Jets vs. Falcons or Dolphins vs. Saints can still offer value.
