Ben Sauls — 2026 Fantasy Outlook

The case for drafting him

Ben Sauls is the kicker for the New York Giants, which puts him on an NFL roster and in a real offense. That is the floor of the case. He carries a bye in Week 8, which is a manageable gap in a standard season. Beyond roster status, the facts here are thin, and that honesty is itself useful information for how to approach him in a 2026 snake draft.

What the model projects

The projection is 19.7 half-PPR fantasy points for the season. His draft value sits at -151.6, placing him K53 and #907 overall in Tier 9. Those numbers describe a player who projects well below replacement level at his position. The point estimate of 19.7 is the headline figure, and it is a modest one.

The range of outcomes

The simulated season band is wide and skewed heavily toward the low end. The p10 is 0.0 points, meaning the bottom 10 percent of simulated seasons produce essentially nothing. The p25 is 0.1 points. The median simulated season lands at just 3.1 points. The p75 reaches 17.7 and the p90 climbs to 38.4, so the upside exists, but it requires a top-decile outcome to produce even modest fantasy value. The gap between the median and the p90 is the defining feature of this band: most simulated seasons end far below the point estimate, with the mean pulled up by a relatively small number of strong outcomes.

How to draft him

Sauls has no market ADP across the platforms tracked, which means he is not being drafted consistently enough to register a median pick. In a 2026 snake draft, he is a late-waiver-wire name rather than a draft-day target. At K53 and #907 overall, there is no draft-round context to give here because the facts do not support one. Roster a kicker with a clearer path to volume; monitor Sauls only if the situation in New York changes in ways the current projection does not yet reflect.

The model projects him for 19.7 fantasy points with a draft value of -151.6, placing him K53 and #907 overall in Tier 9. That is well below replacement level at the kicker position. He has no market ADP, meaning he is not being consistently drafted across public platforms. The facts do not support using a draft pick on him.

The p90 of the simulated season band is 38.4 half-PPR points, representing the top 10 percent of simulated outcomes. The p75 is 17.7. Those are the ceiling markers the model produces; the median simulated season is just 3.1 points, so a strong outcome requires finishing well above the typical result.

Sauls has no ADP and ranks K53, so he is not a draft-day consideration at any round. The kicker position in general is best addressed in the final rounds of a snake draft; Sauls specifically does not factor into that calculus given his ranking and the absence of a market draft position.
