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
Cam Little has Steph Curry range, and that’s always good to have access to. This is an offense we expect to move the ball with regularity, and while extra points aren’t as sexy as field goals, they do create something of a floor. Of their final four games, the Jags have two at home and two indoors: he doesn’t need the environmental boost, but he gets it at the perfect time.

Ka’imi Fairbairn breaks some of my kicker rules, but he’s an exception for a few reasons. This offense is a bit limited, but because the defense is so good, the willingness to settle for FGA is there, and that’s a large part of why he has 80 FGM over the past two seasons (32 games). He rarely misses the gimmes, and with 29 tries from 50+ over those two seasons, this 32-year-old is going to get plenty of chances to give us consistent returns at a position that often comes with a lot of variance.
