Fantasy Football Player Outlooks for The 2026-26 Season

Aubrey's three NFL seasons rank third, sixth and eighth on the all-time list for most fantasy points by a kicker. The 17-game schedule and new rules for K balls are a big part of that, but there's still a lot that needs to go right for a kicker to routinely outscore his contemporaries the way Aubrey has. He's finished first, first and third at the position in fantasy points through three seasons, with only Houston's Ka'imi Fairbairn offering vaguely similar per-game production since Aubrey entered the league. Incredible leg strength and top-notch accuracy are a big part of that equation, and yet it's otherwise perfectly normal for elite real-life kickers to have poor fantasy seasons. Aubrey avoids that fate because he's attached to a pass-first, up-tempo offense, with Dallas annually ranking near the top of the league in drive volume, play volume, trips across midfield and more. The result is a steady diet of kicks for Aubrey, including frequent PATs and semi-regular chances to hit from 60-plus yards.

Myers finished 2025 with the single-season record for fantasy points by a kicker, cashing in massive volume for a Seattle team that was dominant in most regards but relatively ordinary near the red zone. His regular season was only impressive in terms of volume -- he made 41 of 48 field-goal attempts (85.4 percent) -- but you won't hear any complaints in Seattle after Myers made all 19 of his kicks during the playoffs. While not quite elite in terms of leg strength or accuracy, Myers still has enough power at age 35 to get chances from 60-plus yards in late-game or end-of-half scenarios. Regression to the mean shouldn't be too harsh if the Seahawks are a top team again; just don't expect Myers to boost his own fantasy scoring the way a Brandon Aubrey or Chris Boswell can.

Dicker finished last season ranked sixth among kickers with 9.3 fantasy points per game, representing a small decline from 2024 when he finished fourth (9.9 PPG). He's still one of the most reliable fantasy options among kickers, combining elite accuracy and favorable team context while playing his home games under a roof. Dicker's 92.7 field-goal percentage last year was actually a career low, dropping his career mark to 93.5 percent -- still 3.8 percentage points ahead of second-place Eddy Pineiro (89.7). Other kickers may have stronger legs and/or coaches more willing to unleash them, but there's no safer bet than Dicker to pile up PATs, chip shots and mid-range kicks while rarely leaving points on the field.

Fairbairn has been the next best thing to Brandon Aubrey during the kicker explosion of the mid-2020s, ranking top five in fantasy points per game three years running. In fact, if not for two missed last season, it would likely be Fairbairn rather than Seattle's Jason Myers laying claim to the single-season kicker record for fantasy points. Fairbairn, 32, has a strong track record from long distance, but last year's fantasy explosion was largely based on league-leading total volume (48 FGAs) and flawless efficiency inside of 50 yards, where he went a perfect 35-of-35. He also made all of his PATs and went a respectable 9-of-13 from 50-plus yards. There's essentially no chance of repeating last year's short-range volume even if the Texans are all-defense, no-offense again, but Fairbairn should remain productive to a somewhat lesser extent, boasting an excellent multi-year track record for both fantasy and real-life purposes.

Little missed just two kicks in 17 games as a rookie in 2024, but he didn't get much volume on a terrible Jacksonville team and thus went unnoticed for fantasy purposes prior to hitting a 70-yard FG during the 2025 preseason. Fantasy interest dissipated after he missed five kicks in Weeks 3-7, only for Little to come back strong out of a Week 8 bye and make all 56 of his kicks (20 FGs, 36 PATs) -- including a record-setter from 68 yards -- through the end of the regular season. Boosted by a red-hot Jacksonville offense, Little averaged 11.5 fantasy points after the Week 8 bye -- more than Brandon Aubrey has ever averaged over a full season. Alas, Little missed a kick in the first round of the playoffs, and the Jaguars ended up losing by three points. It'll be hard to recreate the perfect storm of conditions that led to his surge of fantasy scoring in November and December, but Little should at least get plenty of long-distance tries even if the volume otherwise declines some.
