Brandon Aubrey Leads Updated 2026 Fantasy Kicker Rankings
WR rankings | QB rankings | RB rankings| Defense rankings |
The kicker position doesn't get a lot of attention in the fantasy football world, but there were a few notable moves this offseason. Brandon Aubrey, fantasy's top kicker, signed the richest kicker contract in NFL history and will stay with the Cowboys. Some of the names that will be with new teams include veterans such as Nick Folk (Falcons), Jason Sanders (Giants), Matt Gay (Raiders), Zane Gonzalez (Dolphins) and Cade York (Jets).
The draft saw just one kicker selected, Trey Smack, who landed with the Packers. He's likely to be the favorite, ahead of Brandon McManus, to become the team's new kicker in Week 1 (not to mention the basis for plenty of fantasy football team names).
With that being said, here are my updated, post-NFL draft 2026 fantasy football kicker rankings. I'll be updating these often throughout the offseason, so keep checking back!
