Brandon Aubrey — 2026 Fantasy Outlook

The case for drafting him

Brandon Aubrey is K1, the top-ranked kicker in the rankings, and his three-year track record backs that standing. He has made at least 36 field goals in each of the past three seasons, averaging 37.3 makes per year on 42.3 attempts. The long-range volume is the headline: he has connected on 10 or more field goals from 50-plus yards in each of the last two seasons, and he posted 10 from that distance in 2023 as well. That is a consistent pattern of high-difficulty, high-value attempts that most kickers never see. The Dallas offense keeps him busy on extra points too, with 52 attempts in 2023 and 48 in 2025. Across three seasons he has averaged 43.3 extra-point attempts per year. Volume and range together are the foundation of kicker value, and Aubrey's history shows both.

What the model projects

The projection is 169.7 half-PPR fantasy points. His draft value sits at +0.0, which places him #72 overall and at K1. Tier 9 is his home in the rankings. His bye week is 14, one of the later byes on the calendar, so he will be available for the bulk of the fantasy regular season before any rest week management is needed.

The range of outcomes

The simulated season band runs from 134.1 points at the 10th percentile to 198.7 at the 90th percentile. The median simulated season lands at 179.9 points, a touch above the 169.7 point estimate. The 25th percentile is 156.9 and the 75th is 191.5. The spread from the bottom 10 percent to the top 10 percent is about 64.6 points, which reflects the real season-to-season variance a kicker carries. His 2024 season showed what the high end looks like: 40 makes on 47 attempts, with 14 field goals from 40 to 49 yards and 14 more from 50-plus. His 2025 season, with 6 misses on 42 attempts, illustrates the floor. Both outcomes live inside this band.

How to draft him

Market ADP has Aubrey going at pick 134.6, which works out to round 12, pick 3 in a 12-team draft, based on a median across two platforms. He is K1 in the rankings at #72 overall, so there is a meaningful gap between where the model values him and where drafts are actually taking him. That gap tells you something practical: if you want the top-ranked kicker, you do not need to spend a pick until the 12th round. Kicker is the last position most drafters address, and Aubrey's ADP confirms he will be available deep. Roster accordingly, and do not let the late-round timing obscure the fact that his three-year volume profile is the strongest at the position.

He is K1 and #72 overall. His three-year averages of 37.3 field goals and 43.3 extra-point attempts per season, combined with double-digit 50-plus-yard makes in each of the last two years, give him a volume and range profile that supports the ranking.

Market ADP puts him at pick 134.6, round 12, pick 3 in a 12-team draft, based on a median across two platforms. You have until the 12th round before the market typically takes him.

The 10th-percentile simulated season is 134.1 points. His 2025 season, where he missed 6 of 42 attempts, is a real-world reference point for a down year. Even in that season he made 36 field goals and 47 extra points, so the floor still reflects a high-volume role.

Aubrey's bye is week 14. That is one of the later byes in the season, meaning he is available for most of the fantasy regular season before you need to plan around his rest week.
