Brandon Aubrey leads NFL kicker fantasy rankings for opening week
Summary

Fantasy football rankings for the opening week of the 2026 NFL season place Dallas kicker Brandon Aubrey at the top of the position group. Jacksonville's Cam Little holds the second position, while Cameron Dicker, Jason Myers, and Evan McPherson round out the top five. Little enters the season following a career that includes a 68-yard field goal and high conversion rates on both field goals and extra points. McPherson, who plays for Cincinnati, maintains a high rank due to an improved conversion rate last season and a high projected scoring total for his matchup against Tampa Bay. Kicker projections rely on team offensive expectations and anticipated opportunities within scoring range as teams finalize their Week 1 rosters and game plans. These rankings serve as a baseline for fantasy managers looking to set their lineups ahead of the season kickoff.
