# Nathan Jahnke: PFF's unsigned 2026 redraft kicker rankings place Brandon Aubrey as the clear No. 1 fantasy kicker (worth drafting before the final round) and Cameron Dicker as the clear No. 2, with the rest of the tiers cut off. **Claimed:** Aug 12, 2026 **Pundit:** Nathan Jahnke — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/nathan-jahnke **Outlet:** Pro Football Focus — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/pro-football-focus **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.pff.com/news/fantasy-football-kicker-rankings/ 3 checkable claims — 2 positional finishes and 1 fantasy ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > Dicker is the clear No. 2 fantasy kicker behind Brandon Aubrey *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Brandon Aubrey to finish top 1 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Brandon Aubrey, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Cameron Dicker to finish top 2 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Cameron Dicker - Verdict: not settled yet - **Here are my 2026 redraft kicker rankings, broken down into tiers...
