Joshua Karty — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Joshua Karty handled kicking duties for Arizona in 2024, connecting on 29 of 34 field goal attempts and converting 32 of 36 extra point attempts. That workload — 34 field goal attempts in a single season — shows he was the team's trusted leg in a full-season role. His three-year averages back that up: 19.5 field goals and 27.5 extra points per season on 24.5 field goal attempts and 31 extra point attempts, with only 4 missed field goals across that span. For a drafter who waits on the kicker position and wants a player with demonstrated volume, Karty's 2024 season is the clearest evidence of what a full workload looks like for him.
What the model projects
The projection for Karty is 72.6 half-PPR fantasy points. His Draft Value is -57.3, meaning he projects below replacement level at the kicker position. He ranks K26 at his position and #229 overall, placing him in Tier 9 on the board.

The range of outcomes
Karty's 2025 season showed a notably reduced workload compared to 2024 — 15 field goal attempts and 26 extra point attempts versus 34 and 36 the year prior. His three-year averages sit between those two seasons. The gap between his 2024 volume and his 2025 volume represents the core of his outcome range: a full-season role produces a meaningfully different stat line than a reduced one. The projection at 72.6 points reflects where those inputs land, but the season-to-season variance in his workload is real and visible in the historical record.
How to draft him
Karty is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP. He is ranked #229 overall and K26 at his position, sitting in Tier 9. At a -57.3 Draft Value, he projects below replacement level. Drafters who roster a kicker late — or not at all until the final pick — will find Karty available off the board in most formats. There is no market signal here to navigate; he is simply a late-round or waiver-wire option if Arizona's kicking role stabilizes in his favor.
