Our updated 2026 NFL Playoff League fantasy football kicker rankings. Set winning lineups with our fantasy football rankings geared towards NFL postseason contests.
Just like regular fantasy football leagues, kickers can make the difference between winning and losing your NFL playoff fantasy league. Below you'll find RotoBaller's 2026 fantasy football playoff league kicker rankings to help you make the best lineup decisions for your 2026 fantasy football playoff league rosters. Even though the regular fantasy football season is now finished, the beginning of the NFL playoffs presents us with many different fantasy football contests specifically geared towards the 2026 NFL playoffs. Bottom line - the fantasy football season is not over yet!
In our NFL playoff rankings below, you can see where players like Chris Boswell, Ka'imi Fairbairn, Harrison Mevis, Jason Myers, and Cam Little stand among all kicking options. These fantasy football playoff rankings take into account how far we predict each team will get in the NFL playoffs, so the rankings are optimally geared toward playoff league formats that span the entire NFL playoffs. The further they get in the playoffs, the more points you accrue.
In most fantasy football playoff leagues, you can choose just a single player from each NFL team when drafting your rosters. For example, if you choose Cam Little as your kicker, you cannot use Trevor Lawrence, Travis Etienne, Jakobi Meyers, or any other Jaguar. Therefore, the high-level goal is to choose the best combination of players that will play the most games (i.e. who will make it to the Super Bowl), and score the most points. Good luck, RotoBallers!

Join A Playoff League Contest
NFL Playoff leagues are a fun way to kick off a fresh new fantasy football contest for the 2026 NFL postseason. For most of us, we've been left with a void, and that weekly excitement with season-long fantasy football leagues all wrapped up. There will be DFS contests all through the Super Bowl, but playoff league formats are really fun and replicate that season-long feel.
Most of these contests will require you to choose only a single player from each NFL team and to fill out a certain number of roster spots at each position. There are many different contests out there, but our friends at FFPC of course hold their awesome Playoff Challenge tournaments -- including one with a $500K grand prize to the first-place winner.
