Charlie Smyth — 2026 Fantasy Outlook

The case for drafting him

Charlie Smyth is the Saints' kicker, and in deeper leagues or formats that reward kicker scoring, every roster needs one. He carries a Week 8 bye, which is manageable for most draft constructions. If your league requires a kicker slot, Smyth fills it.

What the model projects

The projection is 58.7 half-PPR fantasy points for the season. His draft value is -71.2, meaning he projects below replacement level at the kicker position. He ranks K37 at his position and #291 overall, placing him in Tier 9 on the board.

The range of outcomes

No simulation band data is available for Smyth in the current FACTS. What is on record: a 58.7-point projection, a -71.2 draft value, and a Tier 9 placement. Those numbers describe a player at the low end of the kicker pool with little separation from the bottom of the position.

How to draft him

Smyth is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP. In a snake draft, that means he is available off the waiver wire in virtually any league. There is no pick cost to budget for him — if you want him, you can likely add him after your draft concludes.

His draft value is -71.2, which means he projects below replacement level at kicker. He ranks K37 and #291 overall in Tier 9. The projection of 58.7 points reflects a low-end kicker outcome.

He has no market ADP — he is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to register one. In a 2026 snake draft, he should be available as a post-draft waiver addition rather than a pick expenditure.

Smyth's bye is Week 8. Plan your kicker streaming or backup accordingly around that week.
