Joey Slye — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Joey Slye has been one of the more active kickers in the league over the past three seasons. His three-year averages tell the story plainly: 30.7 field goal attempts, 24.3 makes, and 29.3 extra point attempts per season. In 2024 he converted 26 of 33 field goal attempts, and in 2025 he pushed that to 28 of 35 — his most attempts in the three-year window. The volume of opportunities is real, and for a position where attempt volume is the primary driver of fantasy production, that matters.
What the model projects
The projection for Slye is 82.6 half-PPR fantasy points. His draftValue sits at -47.3, meaning the projection lands below replacement level at the kicker position. He ranks K24 at his position and #217 overall, placing him in Tier 9 on the board. Tennessee has a Week 9 bye.

The range of outcomes
Slye's three-year averages show a consistent floor of attempt volume — 30.7 field goal attempts and 29.3 extra point attempts per season — but also a miss rate that has averaged 5.3 field goals missed per year over that span. The 2023 season (19 makes on 24 attempts) and the 2025 season (28 makes on 35 attempts) bracket the range of what his production can look like. A high-attempt season with a strong conversion rate pushes his ceiling; a low-scoring offense or a cold stretch on accuracy compresses it.
How to draft him
Slye is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP. At K24 and #217 overall with a draftValue of -47.3, he projects below replacement level at his position. In a standard 12-team snake draft, kickers are typically taken in the final rounds, and Slye's rank suggests he belongs at the back end of that conversation — or on the waiver wire entirely. Draft him only if you need a kicker and have exhausted higher-ranked options.
