Spencer Shrader — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Spencer Shrader is a kicker on the Indianapolis Colts with a bye in Week 13. His recent history shows steady improvement in volume: he went from 5 field goal attempts and 9 extra point attempts in 2024 to 14 field goal attempts and 14 extra point attempts in 2025, converting 13 of those 14 field goals and all 14 extra points. Over the three-year aggregate (2023–2025), he averaged 9 field goals on 9.5 attempts and 11.5 extra points on 11.5 attempts, with just 0.5 missed field goals per season. The accuracy is clean, and the volume trend is moving in the right direction.

The range of outcomes
No simulation band data is available for Shrader in these facts, so the outcome range cannot be quantified here. What the historical record does show is a kicker who has been nearly perfect on extra points — 23 for 23 across 2024 and 2025 combined — and who converted 18 of 19 field goal attempts over those same two seasons. The floor on accuracy has been high; the ceiling on volume depends on how much scoring Indianapolis generates.
How to draft him
Shrader is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP, so there is no draft-slot data to report. At K40 and #318 overall with a -79.4 draft value, he projects below replacement level at the kicker position. In a standard 12-team snake draft, he is a late-round or undrafted option at best — a name to keep in mind for the waiver wire rather than a pick to spend early. His Week 13 bye is worth noting when managing your kicker slot late in the season.
