Brandon Aubrey
Aubrey is Dallas's undisputed kicker for the rest of the season, and his fantasy output depends on how many scoring drives the Cowboys sustain, since I found no sign of a job, health or accuracy problem.
Role
He is the Cowboys' only kicker and handles field goals, extra points and kickoffs, with no competitor reported in anything I found. The Cowboys' site (search snippet, undated) lists 12 field-goal attempts in 5 games for 2026, which is uneven volume. He had none in the Week 1 loss to the Giants and none in the Green Bay loss per the wire note. He went 3-for-3 on field goals with a 60-yarder in the Week 2 win over Washington (Rotowire via CBS Sports, Sep 21). Volume swings with how often Dallas stalls in field-goal range. His 2026 kickoff grade from PFF is 14.7, 30th of 32 kickers (snippet, before the Green Bay game).
He is widely called the NFL's best kicker (Rotowire via CBS, preseason). He made at least 36 field goals in each of his first three regular seasons, with a 60-plus-yard make in each. He signed a record four-year, $28 million extension (NFL.com, Rapoport), and the Cowboys' site shows 17 games played in each of the past three seasons. His PFF field-goal grade this season is 80.5, 7th of 32 (snippet, before Green Bay). Long range is a weapon, since he has six career field goals of 60-plus yards.
His 2026 accuracy is below his standard. The Cowboys' site and ESPN show 9 of 12 on field goals (75%), and PFF shows 2 of 5 from 50-plus. He missed one extra point in Week 1, a 48-yard try after a taunting penalty moved the ball back. Dallas has lost to the Giants and to Green Bay, and an offense that stalls or scores few points can leave him with few attempts. He had no field goal attempts in two of the games I have notes on.
