Kicker rankings can change quickly, but Brandon Aubrey remains the clear K1 thanks to his massive leg and the weekly scoring opportunities that come with Dallas’ offense. Cam Little and Cameron Dicker sit right behind him, while Ka’imi Fairbairn and Jason Myers round out a top five built around accuracy, range and reliable offensive situations.
The more interesting decisions come after that group. Is Harrison Mevis already worth a top-seven ranking? Can Andy Borregales and Tyler Loop emerge as weekly starters? And how far should Harrison Butker fall after years near the top of the position? You can see where every kicker fits into the full player pool in PFN’s overall PPR rankings, then test out when to address the position with the PFN fantasy mock draft simulator.

Best Kicker for Fantasy Football
Harrison Mevis could be the next guy on the path paved by Brandon Aubrey. Mevis made a name for himself last year drilling 95% of his field goals as a member of the Birmingham Stallions. He got his first real chance at NFL action after signing with the Rams ahead of Week 10 and immediately drilled all six of his extra point attempts in his first game with the team.
Strangely, Mevis did not even attempt his first NFL field goal until his third game with the team, kicking exclusively extra points until then. Therein lies the issue with Mevis — the Rams are too damn efficient on offense. But even so, this projects to be one of the best offenses in football and we want kickers who frequently find themselves in scoring position.

Mevis made all 39 of his extra points and missed just one field goal, which was from 40+ anyway. He’s now had a full offseason as the clear kicker for the Rams. He should be even better this season.
Jake Bates struggled a bit last season, but his attempt volume spiked, specifically from deep and that holds value in our world. Playing for an explosive offense who plays indoors is great, and while the PATs don’t add up fast, they create a floor for a position that has as much variance as any in our game.
