I'd just like to start by sending best wishes to Cody Parkey, as the kicker who led my team to the 2014 championship game has been placed on season-ending injured reserve.

I'd also like to apologize for ranking Robbie Gould No. 1 last week and (in advance) for keeping him on the list this week.

Finally, a reminder -- Kickers are like a box of chocolate: you never know what you're gonna get.

Here we go.

1. Josh Brown, New York Giants
Week 4 Opponent: Buffalo Bills
2015 Stats: 9 of 9 field goals, (3 of 3 40-49, 1 of 1 50+)

Brown could be the Obi-Wan Kenobi for the Giants this week: Their only hope of scoring.

2. Robbie Gould, Chicago Bears
Week 4 Opponent: Oakland Raiders
2015 Stats: 6 of 6 field goals (2 of 2 40-49 yards, 2 of 2 50+ yards)

It's clear Chicago will do two things on offense: punt, or kick field goals. Let's hope Gould gets on the scoreboard this week.

3. Steven Hauschka, Seattle Seahawks
Week 4 Opponent: Detroit Lions
2015 Stats: 8 of 8 field goals (2 of 2 40-49 yards, 1 of 1 50+)

Seattle is more than happy to kick field goals when their defense is playing as well as it did in Week 3's shutout.

4. Brandon McManus, Denver Broncos
Week 4 Opponent: Minnesota Vikings
2015 Stats: 6 of 6 field goals (2 of 2 40-49, 3 of 3 50+)

Ditto what I said about Hauschka. This guy can boot it.

5. Mason Crosby, Green Bay Packers
Week 4 Opponent: San Francisco 49ers
2015 Stats: 6 of 6 field goals (2 of 2 40-49, 1 of 1 50+)

With great offense comes great opportunity. Peter Parker -- er, I mean, Mason Crosby -- will thrive against the 49ers this week, who are my early pick as the worst team in the NFL this season.

6. Matt Bryant, Atlanta Falcons
Week 4 Opponent: Houston Texans
2015 Stats: 6 of 6 field goals (4 of 4 40-49)

I'll repeat what I said last week: Red-hot offense + dome = fantasy success.

7. Dan Bailey, Dallas Cowboys
Week 4 Opponent: New Orleans Saints
2015 Stats: 4 of 4 field goals

The ground-and-pound, checkdown offense will only last so long. He'll get his chances, despite not attempting a field goal in Week 3.

8. Sebastian Janikowski, Oakland Raiders
Week 4 Opponent: Chicago Bears
2015 Stats: 5 of 5 field goals (2 of 2 40-49 yards)

Yeah, he still plays. He's silently found his way into the Top 10 in overall points again as well.

9. Justin Tucker, Baltimore Ravens
Week 4 Opponent: Pittsburgh Steelers
2015 Stats: 7 of 8 field goals (1 of 1 40-49, 0 of 1 50+)

He finally missed a kick, but it came from outside 50 yards. He's got the early game this week, though, so heads up.

10. Greg Zuerlein, St. Louis Rams
Week 3 Opponent: Arizona Cardinals
2015 Stats: 5 of 5 field goals (1 of 1 40-49 yards, 1 of 1 50+)

If you're desperate.
