Fantasy Football Player Notes: Kickers
Four-year veteran Cameron Dicker is currently the all-time NFL leader in field goal accuracy, having converted at a 93.5% clip. In his three full seasons (he played only 11 games as a rookie), Dicker has finished eighth, third and fourth in fantasy scoring. “Dicker the Kicker” is capable of dialing long-distance, having drilled 59-yard field goals in each of the last two years, and having converted 21-of-27 career attempts from 50 yards or longer. The Chargers have given Dicker ample FG attempts the last two years, tying for fourth in 2024 with 42 and finishing fifth in that category last year with 41. The Chargers’ offense could present Dicker with even more scoring opportunities in 2026 with a healthier and improved offensive line and the arrival of highly regarded offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.
Native Venezuelan Andres “Andy” Borregales tied for 15th in fantasy scoring as a rookie, making 27-of-32 field goals and 53-of-55 extra points. The Patriots should once again have a solid offense, with young star QB Drake Maye at quarterback and new arrival AJ Brown upgrading New England’s WR corps. Borregales finished second in extra-point attempts last year behind only Jake Bates. The Patriots will have a tougher schedule in 2026 than they had in 2025 and if Borregales has fewer extra points and more field goals this season, he could crack the top 10 in fantasy scoring at the position.
Harrison Butker has become a less dependable fantasy kicker in recent years. It’s not because Butker has been substantially less accurate. It’s because the Kansas City offense has been scoring fewer touchdowns in recent years, giving Butker fewer freebie extra points. In Butker’s first five seasons, from 2017 to 2021, he averaged 3.0 extra points per game. In 2022 and 2023, Butker averaged 2.5 extra points per game. In 2024 and 2025, Butker averaged 2.0 extra points a game. Butker’s yearly finished in fantasy points per game among kickers: second, sixth, second, 13th, ninth, 20th, 10th, 26th, 15th. The Chiefs offense might not be among the NFL’s most explosive in 2026 with Patrick Mahomes coming off a major knee injury. Consider Butker a second-tier kicker option.
