Andre Szmyt — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Andre Szmyt handled kicking duties for Cleveland in 2025, converting 24 of 27 field goal attempts and 25 of 26 extra point attempts. The three-year aggregate through 2023-2025 matches those 2025 numbers exactly, which tells you his NFL workload is concentrated in that single season. His 2025 range was real: 14 makes from 0-39 yards, 5 from 40-49, and 5 from 50-plus. That long-range production is the most meaningful piece of the case, since deep attempts carry the most fantasy scoring weight in half-PPR kicker formats.
What the model projects
The projection is 81.5 half-PPR fantasy points. His draft value is -91.6, meaning the projection sits below replacement level at the kicker position. He ranks K35 at the position and #351 overall, placed in Tier 9.
| FG | FGM | XP | Half-PPR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 24 | 3 | 25 | 109.0 |
| 3-yr avg | 24 | 3 | 25 | 22.0 |
The range of outcomes
The simulated season band is wide. The bottom 10% of simulated seasons lands at 0.0 points, and the 25th percentile is just 6.7. The median simulated season comes in at 51.0 points. The upside end of the band reaches 106.5 at the 75th percentile and 146.1 at the 90th percentile. That floor-to-ceiling spread reflects the high variance inherent to the kicker position, where role security and opportunity volume can shift dramatically from one season to the next.

How to draft him
Szmyt is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP. In practice, that means he is available as a late-round or post-draft addition in most leagues. His bye falls in Week 11, worth noting when setting a roster schedule. Given a draft value of -91.6 and a position rank of K35, he is a depth option at best, and the projection and band both reflect that ceiling.
