The 2019-2020 NFL Season

Football is a sport famous for its big men putting big hits on their opponents, using their size and strength to overpower other players on the field, which is what&nbsp;makes the shortest current NFL players so impressive. All the smallest football players in the league right now prove how much can be accomplished with quickness, skill, and drive.

Running backs like Devonta Freeman&nbsp;and Jalen Richard have been able to exploit their small stature to sneak through holes and defenses and get into open space where their speed can be useful. While wide receivers tend to be on the taller side, WRs&nbsp;Tavon Austin and Jamison Crowder haven&#39;t needed a height advantage to carve out an NFL niche as talented pass catchers.

So who are the best small football players? Who are the shortest players who have accomplished the most with the least? Vote up the players whose skills more than outshine their small size, then head over and check out some more <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-baseball-players-shorter-than-6-feet-tall-right-now/ranker-baseball" target="_blank">successful short athletes</a>.

Who Is The Best Kicker In The NFL Right Now?

The Best Current NFL Kickers, Ranked by Football Fans

Fantasy Sports

The NFL fantasy rankings for kickers is one of the trickiest&nbsp;aspects of a fantasy football draft. Kickers don&rsquo;t necessarily impact the game as much as other positions on the field,&nbsp;but the points still&nbsp;count the same when looking at the final tally&nbsp;at the end of each week. While kicker may be the last position you look at in your draft and none of these names will appear near the top of the list of 2019 fantasy football players, a good kicker can be a difference-maker. And if you get the top fantasy kicker of 2019, that could be the difference between a championship and watching from the sidelines.&nbsp;

Stephen Gostkowski, Adam Vinatieri, and Mason Crosby have been some of the rock-solid kickers in the league to provide impressive stat lines for many years and will almost certainly be near the top of many fantasy football rankings. However, last season&rsquo;s top three kickers for most fantasy points were Ka&#39;imi Fairbairn, Justin Tucker, and Harrison Butker. So it goes to show anyone, given the opportunity can surprise and be the standout kicker your fantasy team needs.

So which kickers&nbsp;deserve to be near the top of the 2019 fantasy football rankings? Which kickers would you count on for your fantasy team&#39;s success? Make your choices known below and come back throughout the season to see how those choices are working out.
