Fantasy Football Player Notes: Kickers

The gold standard among NFL kickers, Brandon Aubrey has finished first, first and third in kicker fantasy scoring in his first three seasons in the league. Aubrey is 112-of-127 (88.2%) on FG attempts over his first three seasons and 126-of-130 (96.9%) on extra points. The 6-3, 218-pound Aubrey has a powerful leg. He’s made 35-of-44 FG attempts from 50 or more yards over the last three years, and Aubrey already holds the NFL record for most field goals of 60 or more yards with six. Aubrey should be the first kicker off the board in 2026 fantasy drafts.

Jason Myers finished as the top-scoring fantasy kicker last season with 202.0 points, although he finished second in fantasy points per game (11.9) behind Houston’s Ka’imi Fairbairn. FG volume is part of the appeal with Myers, who has led the NFL in field goal attempts in two of the last three seasons. Myers converted 41-of-48 FG tries last season. His career FG percentage is 85.6%, and while he hasn’t been one of the most accurate kickers in the league, Myers is an attractive fantasy kicker because of his situation. The world-champion Seahawks have an outstanding defense and an efficient, ball-control offense. It’s a formula that should produce ample field goal and extra point attempts. Consider Myers a top-five fantasy kicker for 2026.

Harrison Mevis joined the Rams midway through the 2025 season and earned the trust of his team, making 12-of-13 FG attempts and 39-of-39 extra points in the regular season, then going 6-of-6 on field goals and 9-of-9 on extra points in three playoff games. The 6-0, 245-pound Mevis has a beefy build that earned him the nickname “The Thiccer Kicker.” If Mevis continues to be accurate, he should have a chance to rack up a lot of points for the Rams, who currently have the shortest odds to win the Super Bowl. The Rams have a high-powered offense directed by head coach Sean McVay, and the addition of Myles Garrett gives the Rams a fearsome defense. Mevis is a compelling option in 2026 fantasy drafts.
