Nick Folk — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Nick Folk's case rests almost entirely on accuracy. Over the three seasons from 2023 through 2025, he averaged 27 field goal attempts and missed just one per year — a 3-year average of 26 makes against 27 attempts. In 2023 he converted 29 of 30 field goal attempts. In 2025 he made 28 of 29. That is a remarkably consistent floor of production for a kicker. If Atlanta's offense keeps him busy, Folk's accuracy profile gives him a real chance to deliver on whatever volume comes his way.
What the model projects
The projection for Folk is 88.0 half-PPR fantasy points. He ranks K20 at his position and #203 overall, placing him in Tier 9. His draft value is -41.9, meaning the projection sits below replacement level at the kicker position on a 12-team half-PPR baseline. Atlanta has a Week 11 bye.

The range of outcomes
Folk's recent season-to-season history illustrates the variance at the position. Field goal attempts ranged from 22 in 2024 to 30 in 2023, and extra point attempts ranged from 22 in 2025 to 30 in 2023. Volume is the primary swing factor — his accuracy has been nearly constant, so the difference between a good season and a quiet one comes down to how often Atlanta's offense puts him on the field. A high-volume season looks like 2023 (30 FGA, 30 XPA); a low-volume season looks like 2024 (22 FGA, 25 XPA).
How to draft him
Folk is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP. At K20 and #203 overall in Tier 9, with a draft value of -41.9, he projects below replacement level. In a standard 12-team snake draft, kickers are typically taken in the final rounds, and Folk's rank suggests he should be treated accordingly — a late-round fill-in only if you need a kicker and he is still available.

Questions drafters ask
Over 2023–2025, Folk averaged just one missed field goal per season across a 3-year average of 27 attempts. In 2023 he made 29 of 30; in 2024, 21 of 22; in 2025, 28 of 29.
The projection is 88.0 half-PPR fantasy points. He ranks K20 and #203 overall, in Tier 9, with a draft value of -41.9.
Folk has no market ADP — he is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to produce one. His rank of K20 and #203 overall with a negative draft value places him at the bottom of the board, appropriate for the very end of a draft if you need a kicker.
His accuracy has been nearly constant — one miss per year on average — so volume is the key variable. Field goal attempts ranged from 22 to 30 across his last three seasons, and extra point attempts ranged from 22 to 30 as well. How often Atlanta's offense scores determines where his actual total lands.
