The kicker position doesn’t get a lot of attention in the fantasy football world, but that doesn’t mean it should be ignored. Two kickers in particular, Brandon Aubrey and Ka’imi Fairbairn, finished in the top 50 in fantasy points when compared to running backs, wide receivers and tight ends. Another, Jason Myers, scored almost 200 points in a breakout season.
Since the ultimate goal of fantasy leagues is to score the most points, I wouldn’t be opposed—and would actually advise people—to grab Aubrey or Fairbairn far ahead of the rest (with Myers coming in third). Otherwise, waiting until the last two rounds to draft a kicker is recommended.
With that said, here are my 2026 fantasy football kicker rankings … now with auction values! I’ll be updating these often throughout the summer, so keep checking back.
_Note: Auction values are based on a $200 budget._
