Fantasy Football Player Notes: Kickers

Brandon Aubrey was the K1 in total fantasy points last year. He could repeat at the top of the position again in 2025. A healthy Dak Prescott and the addition of George Pickens should go a long way with sustaining drives, getting into field goal range, and improving scoring opportunities for Aubrey and the offense. Last year, Aubrey had ten weeks with double-digit fantasy scoring.

Harrison Butker was the 27th-ranked kicker in 2024 (29th in PPG) as he missed time with a knee injury. The Chiefs’ kicker has fallen off in two of the last three seasons, failing to finish inside the top 24. He only has one top-5 finish in the last five seasons. Given his last of recent production and KC’s heavy outdoor schedule (two dome games), Butker should not be a priority kicking option even in attached to offense with Patrick Mahomes at the helm.

Matt Gay wrapped up 2024 as the 14th-highest scoring kicker and 13th in PPG (8.7). He was money from 20-49 yards (100% conversion rate), but he was just 3-for-9 from 50 yards. Last year was his final year with the Indianapolis Colts, who released him to save money against the salary cap. He signed a one-year deal with the Commanders with the most guaranteed money for a kicker in NFL history. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts to post-life in non-dome games. Gay has never finished worse than K14 in a full season since 2019. The Commanders were top-5 in FG attempts per game in 2024, with Austin Seibert leading all kickers in PPG (12.8) through nine games. If Gay’s long-distance kicking can rebound closer to his career average (71%), that could put him over the top.
