Top Contenders for Fantasy Football K1 Finish in 2026

As the 2026 fantasy football season approaches, four kickers are highlighted as potential top contenders for the overall K1 finish. These players include Brandon Aubrey of the Dallas Cowboys, Jake Bates from the Detroit Lions, Jason Myers, and Cameron Dicker.

In the 2025 regular season, Aubrey excelled, ranking first in both 0-to-29-yard and 50-plus-yard field goal attempts. Myers and Dicker followed closely, ranking second and third in 40-to-49-yard attempts, while also tying for first in 30-to-39-yard attempts. Bates led in extra point attempts, with Aubrey and Myers tying for fifth.

Aubrey's strong leg and the Dallas offense's efficiency have established him as a reliable kicker, making him the highest-paid in the league this offseason. Bates is expected to benefit from Detroit's elite offense, while Myers' accuracy and coaching strategy keep him in contention. Dicker is anticipated to thrive with the Chargers' improved offensive scheme.
