McPherson made 25 of his 28 field-goal tries and converted 41 of his 44 extra-point attempts in 17 games with Cincinnati in 2025.

After converting on a career-low 72.7 percent of his field-goal attempts in 2024, McPherson recorded a career high 89.3 percent in that category in 2025. He also showed improvement from distance compared to last season, making 15 of his 18 tries from 40-plus yards out compared to six of 12 in 2024. He still probably hasn't justified the three-year, $14 million contract the Bengals gave him in August of 2024, but he would project as an above-average fantasy option at kicker in 2026 if starting quarterback Joe Burrow can stay healthy and lead a more potent offense than the one Cincinnati had for much of this year.

Folk made 28 of 29 field-goal attempts and all 22 of his extra-point tries over 16 games during the 2025-26 campaign.

The Jets finished with the NFL's fourth-lowest-scoring offense, so opportunities weren't exactly ripe for Folk. However, the veteran kicker was outstanding when called upon, missing just one of his 51 total kicks. Folk made a career-best seven FGs from 50-plus yards out, with his only miss of the season being a 55-yard try in Week 13. He's slated to be a free agent, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Jets try to bring back Folk considering his very strong recent success -- he's led NFL kickers in FG accuracy each of the past three campaigns, going a tremendous 78-for-81 during that span.

Slye went 28-for-35 on field-goal attempts and 26-for-27 on point-after tries across 16 games with the Titans in 2025.

Slye got off to a fast start to the 2025 season, connecting on all eight of his field-goal attempts through the first two games (three of which came from 50-plus yards). However, the veteran kicker missed four of six field goals over the next two games (though two of those misses came from 60-plus yards) and he was sidelined for the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Raiders while nursing a right calf injury. That ended up being the only game Slye missed in 2025, and he showed off his big leg by connecting on a career-high nine field goals from 50-plus yards, which was tied for fourth most in the NFL behind Chase McLaughlin, Brandon Aubrey and Will Reichard (11 each). Slye enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Loop made 1-of-2 FG tries and 3-of-3 extra-point attempts against Pittsburgh in a 26-24 Week 18 loss Sunday. He finished the campaign having gone 30-for-34 on field-goal attempts and 44-for-46 on PAT tries.

Loop converted a 40-yard FG in the second quarter Sunday, but he came up wide right on a 44-yard game-winner attempt as time expired. That miss sealed a two-point Ravens loss and marked a stunning end to the team's season. Though Loop's miss will likely linger in the minds of Baltimore fans for some time, it isn't indicative of how the performed this season. The rookie out of Arizona made a steady 88.2 percent of his FG tries, and though he was just 1-for-4 from 50-plus yards out, his final kick of the campaign was his first FG miss on 30 tries from fewer than 50 yards. Loop figures to be back as Baltimore's kicker when the 2026-27 campaign begins in September.

Moody went 19-for-23 on field-goal attempts and 15-for-16 on extra-point tries across nine games in 2025 while playing for the 49ers, Bears and Commanders.

Moody was coming off a shaky 2024 regular season with the 49ers, when he connected on just 24 of 34 field-goal attempts (70.6 percent). Things didn't get much better for the third-year kicker after he went 1-for-3 on his field-goal tries in the 49ers' Week 1 win over the Seahawks, which led to him being waived by San Francisco shortly after. Moody caught on with the Bears on the practice squad and appeared in two games in October due to Cairo Santos being sidelined by a thigh injury, and the former made eight of nine field goals over those two outings. That was enough for Moody to catch on with the Commanders in mid-November, and he stuck around in Washington to finish off the season going 10-for-11 on field-goal attempts and 10-for-11 on extra-point tries over six games. Moody enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, but his solid finish to the season could convince the Commanders to stick with the 2023 third-rounder out of Michigan.

McLaughlin went 3-for-4 on FG tries in Saturday's 16-14 win over Carolina and finished the campaign with a career-best 32 field-goal makes on 38 attempts over 17 contests. He also made 32 of 33 extra-point tries.

McLaughlin's lone miss Saturday was blocked, but he accounted for the Buccaneers' final nine points with field goals from 29, 36 and 48 yards out, respectively. His leg helped Tampa Bay notch a close victory to keep the team's playoff hopes alive, but the Bucs were ultimately eliminated when Atlanta beat the Saints on Sunday. McLaughlin's 32 field-goal tries and 38 attempts during the campaign were both career-high marks, though this was the first time he converted fewer than 90 percent of his tries since 2022. Nonetheless, the veteran kicker thrived from long distance, going 11-for-12 on FG attempts from 50-plus yards. McLaughlin is signed through next year, so he'll almost certainly be Tampa Bay's kicker when the team begins the regular season next September.

Reichard made 33 of his 35 field-goal tries and converted all 31 of his extra-point attempts in 17 games with Minnesota in 2025.

Despite the Vikings finishing 28th in total offense in the 2025 regular season, Reichard finished sixth in fantasy points among NFL kickers. His efficiency was remarkable, as he did not miss a single kick shorter than 50 yards and made 11 of his 13 kicks from 50-plus yards out. His field-goal conversion rate of 94.3 percent was third in the league among kickers that played at least five games. If Minnesota's offense can move the ball with some consistency in 2026, Reichard will figure to be a good fantasy option at kicker.

Smyth went 12-for-16 on field-goal attempts and 13-for-13 on extra-point tries across six games with New Orleans in 2025.

The Northern Irishman joined the Saints in May of 2024 as part of the league's International Player Pathway, but it wasn't until Week 13 of the 2025 season that Smyth made his NFL debut after Blake Grupe was waived by New Orleans in late November. Smyth made quite the NFL debut in Week 13 against the Dolphins, when he nailed his lone field-goal attempt from 56 yards before successfully converting on an onside kick in the fourth quarter. Smyth's most productive performance came in the Saints' Week 16 win against the Jets, when he went 5-for-6 on field goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries. The Saints may have found their franchise quarterback in second-round rookie Tyler Shough, and if he can take the next step in his development after a full offseason under head coach Kellen Moore, then Smyth would provide some intriguing fantasy value in 2026, especially with half of his games taking place indoors in the Caesars Superdome.

Sauls made all four of his field-goal tries and both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-17 Week 18 win over Dallas. He finished the campaign having gone 8-for-8 of FG attempts and 7-for-7 on PAT tries.

Sauls was initially signed by Pittsburgh as an undrafted free agent and also spent time with Atlanta before latching on with the Giants in mid-November. When veteran kicker Graham Gano (neck) landed on IR around the same time, New York first turned to Younghoe Koo, but Sauls eventually got his chance after Koo was cut in mid-December. In his three contests to close the campaign, Sauls didn't miss a kick, though it has to be noted that only one of his FG tries -- a successful 45-yarder to open the scoring this past Sunday -- came from 40 or more yards out. Still, Sauls did nothing to suggest he can't be a reliable NFL kicker, and he could begin next season in that role for the Giants if the team decides to part ways with the oft-injured Gano.

Aubrey made 36 of his 42 field-goal tries and converted 47 of his 48 extra-point attempts in 17 games with Dallas in 2025.

After finishing first in fantasy points among NFL kickers in 2023 and second in 2024, Aubrey finished third in 2025 behind only Jason Myers and Ka'imi Fairbairn. He remained all but automatic for the purposes of PATs, but he was a bit less accurate from distance compared to his 2022 and 2023 numbers, especially down the stretch, when he hit just two of his six attempts of 50-plus yards during the final four games of the season. Fantasy investors will be watching closely to see if the Cowboys extend their contract with Aubrey for 2026 and possibly beyond this offseason, as he has been helped along by strong offenses and by getting to play half of his games within the friendly confines of AT&T Stadium.
