Brandon Aubrey — 2026 Fantasy Outlook

The case for drafting him

Brandon Aubrey has been one of the most active kickers in the league across three seasons. His 3-year averages tell the story plainly: 37.3 field goals made, 42 extra points, and 42.3 field goal attempts per season. In 2024 he attempted 47 field goals and converted 40 of them — a workload that reflects both Dallas's offensive tendencies and Aubrey's standing as the team's trusted leg. He has missed an average of just 4 field goals per season over that span. The volume is real, the efficiency has been consistent, and the job is his.

What the model projects

The model projects Aubrey at 129.8 half-PPR fantasy points this season, making him K2 and #78 overall. His draft value sits at -0.2, meaning he projects almost exactly at replacement level for his position — a razor-thin margin that reflects how tightly bunched the top of the kicker tier is. He lands in Tier 9 on the overall board. The projection is built on a track record of high attempt volume and reliable conversion, and the point estimate reflects a kicker whose floor and ceiling are both anchored by a high-usage offense.

The range of outcomes

Kicker variance is driven by two things: opportunity and conversion rate. Aubrey's opportunity has been durable — he has logged 38, 47, and 42 field goal attempts in his three seasons, with extra point attempts of 52, 30, and 48 respectively. The swing in extra point attempts (52 in 2023 down to 30 in 2024, back up to 48 in 2025) shows that Dallas's touchdown rate in the red zone can shift meaningfully year to year, and that is the primary source of outcome variance here. A Dallas offense that scores more touchdowns lifts his extra point total; one that stalls inside the 35 pushes more attempts his way as field goals. Either path can produce a strong fantasy season — the mix just changes. His bye falls in Week 14, which is a meaningful consideration in leagues with playoff weeks starting that week.

How to draft him

Aubrey is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP, so there is no public draft-slot data to reference. In practice, that means he is available deep in most drafts — treat him as a late-round target once your roster's core is set. At K2 and #78 overall, he is a legitimate top-two option at the position, and his three-year volume history gives him a more reliable floor than most kickers you will encounter at the same stage of the draft. Grab him when the position becomes a priority for you, and note the Week 14 bye when setting your lineup calendar.

Questions drafters ask

How productive has Aubrey been as a kicker over the past three seasons?

Very productive. Over 2023–2025 he averaged 37.3 field goals made, 42.3 field goal attempts, and 42 extra points per season, while missing an average of just 4 field goals a year. His single-season high was 47 field goal attempts in 2024, when he converted 40.

What does the model project for Aubrey this season?

The model projects him at 129.8 half-PPR fantasy points, ranking him K2 and #78 overall. His draft value of -0.2 puts him almost exactly at replacement level for the kicker position.

When should I draft Aubrey?

He has no market ADP — he is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to produce one. That means he is typically available very late in drafts. Prioritize your skill-position core first, then target him when you're ready to address kicker.

Is his Week 14 bye a problem?

It depends on your league's playoff schedule. Week 14 is a common fantasy playoff start week, so his bye could cost you a kicker in a critical round. Factor that into your roster planning and consider whether you need a handcuff kicker on your bench heading into the postseason.
