Eddy Pineiro — 2026 Fantasy Outlook

The case for drafting him

Eddy Pineiro has been San Francisco's kicker and has logged three consecutive seasons of meaningful volume. In 2023 he attempted 29 field goals and converted 25, adding 17 of 20 extra points. In 2024 the field goal volume dipped to 26 attempts with 22 made, while extra point attempts climbed to 35 with 33 converted. In 2025 he posted his best field goal line of the three seasons — 28 of 29 — and converted 34 of 38 extra point attempts. That 2025 field goal conversion rate stands as the high-water mark of his recent run. The offense behind him has consistently generated enough scoring opportunities to keep his attempt totals in a workable range, and his 2025 numbers suggest he is operating at a high level of accuracy.

What the model projects

The projection is 91.8 half-PPR fantasy points for 2026. His draft value sits at -38.1, meaning the projection lands below replacement level at the kicker position. That places him at K16 and #191 overall, in Tier 9. He carries a Week 8 bye.

The range of outcomes

Kicker scoring variance is driven by team offense, game script, and accuracy — all of which can shift meaningfully from season to season. Pineiro's own three-year history illustrates that range: field goal attempts have moved between 26 and 29 across those seasons, and extra point attempts have ranged from 20 to 38. His 2025 season (28 of 29 on field goals, 34 of 38 on extra points) represents the favorable end of what his recent history shows is possible. A step back in either attempt volume or conversion rate would push his actual scoring noticeably below the 91.8-point projection, while a repeat of 2025-level efficiency and volume would push it higher.

How to draft him

Pineiro is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP. In practice, that means he is available as a late-round or undrafted addition in most 2026 snake drafts. His -38.1 draft value and K16 ranking reflect a projection below replacement level, so the calculus is straightforward: he is a streaming-tier option, best targeted only after every positional need is addressed. His 2025 accuracy numbers give him a floor worth monitoring, but at #191 overall he is not a pick that should cost you anything meaningful on draft day.
