Blake Grupe — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Blake Grupe has been a consistent volume kicker over three seasons. In 2023 he attempted 37 field goals and converted 30, going a perfect 40-for-40 on extra points. In 2024 he attempted 31 field goals, hitting 27, with 31 extra points on 33 attempts. In 2025 he attempted 37 field goals again, converting 29, on 25 extra points from 25 attempts. Averaged across those three seasons, he has attempted 35 field goals and made 28.7 per year, with 32.7 extra point attempts and 32 makes — and just 6 missed field goals over the entire three-year stretch. That is a kicker who sees the ball regularly and converts at a steady clip.
What the model projects
The projection for Grupe in 2026 is 96.9 half-PPR fantasy points. His draft value sits at -33.0, placing him #174 overall and K11 at his position. He is a Tier 9 asset on the board. His bye week is Week 13.

The range of outcomes
Kicker scoring variance is driven by team offense, field goal distance mix, and extra point volume — all of which shift season to season. Grupe's three-year history shows field goal attempt totals ranging from 31 to 37 in a single season, and extra point attempts ranging from 25 to 40, illustrating the real spread in workload he can see. A draftValue of -33.0 signals he projects below replacement level at the position, so the floor is a meaningful concern. The upside case rests on his attempt volume staying near the high end of his historical range.
How to draft him
Grupe is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP. That means he is available as a late-round or post-draft addition in most leagues. At K11 with a negative draft value, he is a streaming-tier option — roster him only if you need a kicker and he is the best available. His Week 13 bye is worth noting when setting your lineup schedule. Given his -33.0 draft value and #174 overall rank, he should not cost you a meaningful pick in a 12-team snake draft.
