If your league requires you to start a kicker, the best strategy is typically to wait until the final round to draft one. This season, though, there are two kickers worth considering a little earlier.
Here are my 2026 redraft kicker rankings, broken down into tiers, with analysis of all 32 projected starters.
Last updated: Wednesday, August 12
Tier 1
1. Brandon Aubrey, Dallas Cowboys
Aubrey has been the most reliable kicker in fantasy, finishing inside the top three in scoring in each of his three seasons while earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors every year. His value is driven by Dallas’ high-scoring offense and, above all, the team’s willingness to attempt long field goals, an area in which he has led the league for three straight seasons.
His 2026 schedule is also favorable, with a dome for home games and his cold-weather road trips coming before the winter months. Aubrey is the clear No. 1 fantasy kicker and, depending on your league’s scoring settings, is worth drafting before the final round.
Tier 2
2. Cameron Dicker, Los Angeles Chargers
Dicker is the most accurate kicker in NFL history, converting 93.5% of his career field-goal attempts and at least 92% in every season. That consistency has helped him finish as a top-four fantasy kicker in each of the past two years despite playing in an offense that has consistently ranked outside the top 10 in scoring. He is also the only kicker to make at least 38 field goals in both seasons.
His 2026 schedule is favorable as well, with December road games in Las Vegas and Florida and his only cold-weather trip coming in September. Dicker is the clear No. 2 fantasy kicker behind Brandon Aubrey, with Aubrey’s advantage largely coming from his greater volume of long-distance attempts.
