Fantasy Football Player Notes: Kickers
Pat Fitzmaurice shares his favorite kickers to target in 2026 fantasy football drafts.
Cam Little has only been in the league for two years, and he already holds the NFL record for longest field goal and longest *outdoor* field goal. Little blasted a 68-yard field goal against the Raiders last November in the domed Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Two months later, he drilled a 67-yarder in the Jaguars’ regular-season finale at Jacksonville’s outdoor EverBank Stadium. Little, who’s entering his age-23 season, has quickly established himself as one of the NFL’s best kickers. He’s converted 57-of-63 (90.5%) FG tries and 77-of-78 (98.7%) of his extra points since joining the Jags. Little finished fifth in fantasy scoring among kickers this season. With the Jaguars’ offense on the rise under head coach Liam Coen, the strong-legged Little should be considered 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.
The Buccaneers’ Chase McLaughlin ranked seventh in kicker scoring last year after ranking sixth in 2025. McLaughlin made 32-of-38 FG tries last year, an 84.2 conversion rate, but he had converted at 93.5% and 93.8% in 2023 and 2024, respectively. The 30-year-old McLaughlin has hit 119-of-122 extra points over the last three years. Some fantasy managers might appreciate having a warm-weather kicker whose home games are in Florida and whose only potential cold-weather games are Week 9 in Chicago and Week 14 in Baltimore.
