Tyler Bass — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Tyler Bass operates in one of the NFL's most prolific offenses. Buffalo's touchdown volume shows up directly in his stat line: he averaged 64 extra point attempts in 2024 and 57 across the three-year aggregate window, reflecting a team that consistently finds the end zone. His field goal work has been steady — 24 made on 29 attempts in both 2023 and 2024, with a three-year average of just 4.5 misses per season. That's a reliable floor for a kicker attached to a high-scoring offense. His bye falls in Week 7, which is manageable for roster planning.
What the model projects
The projection for Bass is 59.2 half-PPR fantasy points this season. That places him at K36 and #289 overall, landing in Tier 9. His draft value sits at -70.7, meaning the projection falls below replacement level at the kicker position on a 12-team half-PPR baseline.

The range of outcomes
Bass's recent history gives a clear picture of his variance. He has hit exactly 24 field goals in each of the last two seasons on 29 attempts, and his extra point volume has ranged from 49 (2023) to 59 (2024). The three-year aggregate shows 54 extra points made on 57 attempts. The consistency in field goal makes is notable, but the extra point volume is the bigger swing factor — it tracks directly with how often Buffalo scores touchdowns. A higher-volume offensive season pushes his total up; a quieter one pulls it back.
How to draft him
Bass is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP. That means there is no pick cost to anchor your planning around — he is effectively available as a late or post-draft addition in most leagues. At K36 and #289 overall in Tier 9, the projection sits below replacement level, so the calculus is straightforward: treat him as a streaming option rather than a draft-day commitment, and revisit only if your kicker situation demands a fallback with a known offensive context behind him.

Questions drafters ask
The projection has him at 59.2 points, K36, and #289 overall in Tier 9, with a draft value of -70.7 — below replacement level at the kicker position. He has no market ADP, meaning he is not being consistently drafted across platforms. He is best treated as a streaming option rather than a draft-day target.
Very consistent on field goals: he made exactly 24 of 29 attempts in both 2023 and 2024, and the three-year aggregate holds at 24 makes on 29 attempts with 4.5 misses per season. Extra point volume has varied more — 49 made in 2023, 59 in 2024, with a three-year average of 54 made on 57 attempts.
He does not have a market ADP — he is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to produce one. There is no specific pick window to plan around.
Buffalo's bye falls in Week 7, so you will need kicker coverage for that week if you roster Bass.
