Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros	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.	Lions kicker Jake Bates has one of the strongest legs in the NFL, and he plays for a team that can really pile on the points. Bates has led the NFL in extra points in each of the last two seasons, making 64 of them in 2024 and 54 of them in 2025. Perhaps the worst thing about having Bates as your fantasy kicker is that Lions head coach Dan Campbell is hyper-aggressive about going for it on fourth down, which robs Bates of some FG attempts. But Campbell is also willing to let his kicker try some long-range bombs. Bates was 4-of-9 on FG attempts from 50 yards or longer last season, and two of the misses were from 67 and 65 yards.
