Dynasty Superflex Rookie Kicker Rankings 2026 (K)

Updated on Tue, 19 May 2026

Off-the-cuff opinions from random guys on the internet are not the best foundation for creating Superflex Rankings. You wouldn’t buy a house with a cracked or leaking basement, would you? No! The foundation for anything is critical.

At Draft Sharks, our Dynasty Rankings are based on data—a lot of it. We start with a player's baseline, a weighted average of this year’s projection, and their last two seasons. Then we use 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year fantasy forecasted output. This isn't guesswork. Our process has been built using machine learning for all NFL data since 1999. We determine this output using scientifically-sound performance aging curves and retirement rates. And these numbers are specific to both positional groups and archetypes of players. These are the smartest fantasy football projections on the market. Period.

3D values+ then apply a weighted average of those 1-,3-,5- and 10-year projections and a cross-positional algorithm based on your exact league setup and scoring. The results are an unparalleled single (true) value you can use universally on the site. That means you can use these values for ranking in the preseason, regular season, and trade valuations.

Ready to go for the gold? In the Draft War Room you can adjust the weighting even heavier toward year-one projection in "Win Now" mode.

2	Josh Allen J Allen BUF QB1	1.01	7	29.9	379	1,037	1,688	3,200	Despite a weak pass-catching corps, Allen led all QBs in fantasy points per game in 2025. At 30, Allen’s run of elite play should continue for the foreseeable future. He gets a nice boost with the addition of D.J. Moore, who should stick around for at least the next two seasons.	100
5yr. Proj 1688 10yr. Proj 3200 ADP 1.01 Bye 7 Age 29.9 DS Analysis Despite a weak pass-catching corps, Allen led all QBs in fantasy points per game in 2025.

3	Drake Maye D Maye NE QB2	1.03	14	23.7	342	983	1,664	3,325	Well-built at 6’4, 230, Maye showed he could make any throw on the field as a rookie. Then, alongside an upgraded O-line and an improved WR corps, Maye’s play reached elite levels in 2025. He ranked top five in passing TDs, passing yards, yards per attempt, and passing success rate. His arrow is pointing straight up ahead of Year 3.	94

4	Jayden Daniels J Daniels WAS QB3	1.08	12	25.4	333	1,018	1,657	3,094	Daniels proved pro-ready as a rookie, throwing for 3,568 yards, 25 TDs, and 9 INTs on a 69% completion rate. His 891 rushing yards ranked second among QBs. Washington added useful pieces in the '25 offseason, including WR Deebo Samuel and LT Laremy Tunsil, but a pair of elbow injuries ultimately derailed the QB's season. At only 25, Daniels is a prime rebound candidate for 2026 and beyond.	89

5	Lamar Jackson L Jackson BAL QB4	1.11	7	29.3	340	1,000	1,631	2,862	Jackson posted an MVP-caliber 2024, resulting in a career-high 488 fantasy points. But injuries to his back and hamstring severely limited his fantasy output in 2025. In fact, Jackson delivered only three top-5 fantasy finishes -- each over the first three weeks of the season. Jackson is a bounce-back candidate for 2026, his age-29 season.	79
5yr. Proj 1631 10yr. Proj 2862 ADP 1.11 Bye 7 Age 29.3 DS Analysis Jackson posted an MVP-caliber 2024, resulting in a career-high 488 fantasy points.

6	Bijan Robinson B Robinson ATL RB1	1.02	5	24.3	277	690	1,111	1,866	With OC Arthur Smith out of town, Robinson's production exploded to 1,881 total yards and 15 TDs in 2024. While his TD count dropped in 2025, he still posted a career-high 22.0 PPR points per game. He also played all 17 games for the third straight season. At only 24, Bijan should remain an elite fantasy option for the foreseeable future.	69

7	Ja'Marr Chase J Chase CIN WR1	1.04	10	26.2	215	655	1,061	1,961	Chase took a slight step back after his 2024 triple crown, but Joe Burrow’s extended absence shaped much of that dip. Even so, Chase still finished WR3 in PPR points per game at 19.7. That number felt much closer to his floor than his ceiling. As long as Burrow stays healthy, Chase will push for the top WR spot each year for the foreseeable future. He's only 26 years old.	63

18	Joe Burrow J Burrow CIN QB5	1.10	10	29.4	340	974	1,574	2,976	Burrow performed as a high-end QB1 in 2024. He was also one of the offseason winners in 2025, as Cincy retained WRs Ja’Marr Chase AND Tee Higgins on long-term deals. Then came a disastrous '25 season that was thrown off track by a Week 2 turf toe injury. Fortunately, Burrow returned and flashed his high-end upside on a couple of occasions. He should have multiple years of top-8 production remaining.	77
5yr. Proj 1574 10yr. Proj 2976 ADP 1.10 Bye 10 Age 29.4 DS Analysis Burrow performed as a high-end QB1 in 2024.

19	Caleb Williams C Williams CHI QB6	2.02	5	24.5	326	926	1,538	2,999	Williams showed the ability to make high-end throws as a rookie. But his tendency to hold the ball and take sacks led to a wildly inconsistent campaign. Fortunately, an improved O-line and an upgraded pass-catching corps arrived last offseason and immediately paid dividends. TE Colston Loveland and WR Luther Burden really showed promise and supply long-term building blocks. Williams should only improve as he gains time in HC Ben Johnson's system.	69

20	Patrick Mahomes P Mahomes KC QB7	3.02	10	30.7	308	938	1,535	2,953	Mahomes posted underwhelming production in 2024, ultimately finishing as the QB11. When healthy in 2025, he lacked consistency from week to week. Instead, he relied on rushing stats to finish as a top-5 fantasy QB pre-injury. Unfortunately, he suffered a December ACL/LCL tear that puts his availability for Week 1, 2026, in question.	67

21	Justin Herbert J Herbert LAC QB8	2.12	12	28.2	324	915	1,495	2,903	Alongside new HC Jim Harbaugh, WR Ladd McConkey, and LT Joe Alt, Herbert played excellent real-life ball in 2024. However, he finished as a QB1 in only five of 17 games. The team added back Keenan Allen in 2025, plus spent early picks on RB Omarion Hampton and WR Tre Harris. The team even saw a quick rise from Round 5 TE Oronde Gadsden II. Herbert ultimately delivered a fine fantasy season with help from boosted rushing volume. But an injury-ravaged O-line and another Herbert injury -- this time to his hand -- limited what could have been an even better season. With plenty of talent around him, Herbert remains an upside QB1 alongside new OC Mike McDaniel.	62

22	Jalen Hurts J Hurts PHI QB9	3.01	9	27.8	330	960	1,536	2,625	Hurts set a career-high in passing TDs in 2025. However, his rushing production took a hit, leading to a career low in fantasy points per game. Hurts did manage to avoid missing time after a concussion cost him two games in 2024. He enters next season likely to be without top WR A.J. Brown, although Philly added a versatile pass catcher in Round 1 WR Makai Lemon. Hurts is under contract through the 2028 season.	62

23	Jahmyr Gibbs J Gibbs DET RB2	1.05	8	24.1	276	651	1,032	1,649	Despite a slow start, Gibbs largely delivered as a rookie RB. He averaged 5.2 YPC and popped in 10 TDs on 182 attempts, adding 52 receptions. His production reached new heights in 2024, and he proved more than capable as a workhorse back following a late-season injury to David Montgomery. 2025 turned up much of the same, as he finished as the PPR RB3 even with a few late-season duds. The former Round 1 pick is now eligible for a contract extension.	61

24	Jeremiyah Love J Love ARI RB3	2.06	8	20.9	204	608	1,012	1,892	Love was a force at Notre Dame, posting back-to-back 1,100-yard rushing seasons with 35 total rushing TDs. His contact balance and power rank among the best RB traits in recent draft classes, and his profile stacks up favorably with Ashton Jeanty’s. Arizona doesn't supply an excellent situation in 2026, as the OL and QB spots lack talent. Still, Love brings true three-down upside and will be just 21 years old as a rookie. He's an easy fit inside the top-five dynasty RBs.	59
5yr. Proj 1012 10yr. Proj 1892 ADP 2.06 Bye 8 Age 20.9 DS Analysis Love was a force at Notre Dame, posting back-to-back 1,100-yard rushing seasons with 35 total rushing TDs.

He's an easy fit inside the top-five dynasty RBs.
25	Trevor Lawrence T Lawrence JAC QB10	3.07	8	26.6	334	884	1,456	2,832	A shoulder injury limited Lawrence to only 10 games in 2024. Then in 2025, he rebounded tremendously under new HC Liam Coen. Lawrence tallied 4,007-29-12 -- plus nine rushing TDs. That propelled him to an overall QB4 fantasy finish. Lawrence's huge season came despite only seven games alongside rookie WR Travis Hunter. We also saw WR Brian Thomas Jr. take a major step back. Veteran Jakobi Meyers stepped up following a mid-season trade, as the team extended him through the 2028 season. Regardless of the pieces, Lawrence's stock is clearly on the rise.	56
