Chad Ryland — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Chad Ryland is ARI's kicker heading into 2026, and his recent volume tells a straightforward story. In 2025 he attempted 33 field goals and 36 extra points, converting all 36 PATs and 25 of those field goals. The year before, he went 28-of-32 on field goals — a conversion rate that stands as the high-water mark of his three-year run. Over the 2023–2025 span, he averaged 23 made field goals and 28.7 made extra points per season across 30 attempts per year. For a kicker, consistent volume is the foundation, and Ryland has shown it.
What the model projects
The projection is 84.3 half-PPR fantasy points for 2026. Ryland ranks K22 at his position and #212 overall, placing him in Tier 9. His draft value is -45.6, meaning the projection sits below replacement level at the kicker position on a 12-team half-PPR baseline.

The range of outcomes
The season-to-season variance in Ryland's own history is real. His field goal makes ranged from 16 in 2023 to 28 in 2024 to 25 in 2025, while field goal attempts moved from 25 to 32 to 33 over the same stretch. Extra point attempts climbed from 25 to 27 to 36. That spread across three seasons illustrates how widely a kicker's final point total can shift from year to year depending on opportunity and conversion.
How to draft him
Ryland is #212 overall and K22. His draft value is negative, and he sits in Tier 9. In a standard 12-team snake draft, kickers are typically taken in the final rounds, and Ryland's rank reflects a below-replacement-level projection. There is no market ADP available for him across public 2026 draft platforms, so no pick-cost guidance can be offered. His bye is Week 14 — late enough that it rarely disrupts a playoff run, but worth noting when setting your kicker streaming plan.
