Andy Borregales — 2026 Fantasy Outlook

The case for drafting him

Andy Borregales handled all of New England's kicking duties in 2025, and the volume was real. He attempted 32 field goals and 55 extra points, converting 27 field goals and 53 extra points. Of those 27 makes, 11 came from 40 yards or beyond: 7 from 40-49 yards and 4 from 50-plus. That long-range production matters in half-PPR kicker scoring, and the three-year aggregate through 2025 matches the single-season line exactly, confirming he was the full-time kicker for the entire window. He enters 2026 as New England's established starter at the position, with a track record of handling a high-volume workload.

What the model projects

The projection is 111.7 half-PPR fantasy points for 2026. Borregales sits at K18 by position rank and #249 overall, landing in Tier 9. His draft value is -63.8, which places him below replacement level at the kicker position in a 12-team half-PPR format. New England's bye is Week 11, a mid-season absence drafters should note when building their roster. The point estimate of 111.7 sits close to the median simulated outcome of 115.4, signaling a relatively centered distribution around the projection.

The range of outcomes

The outcome band is wide, as it is for kickers generally. The bottom 10% of simulated seasons lands at 28.7 points, and the 25th percentile sits at 78.8. The median simulated season is 115.4 points. The 75th percentile reaches 137.0, and the top 10% of simulated seasons comes in at 154.1. That gap between the p10 and p90 outcomes spans more than 125 points, reflecting how heavily a kicker's fantasy production depends on team offense, game script, and field-goal opportunity. A strong Patriots offensive season pushes Borregales toward the upper band; a struggling offense compresses his volume toward the lower end.

How to draft him

Borregales is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP. In practice, that means he is available as a late-round or post-draft addition in most leagues. His -63.8 draft value and K18 position rank reflect a player who projects below replacement level in a standard 12-team half-PPR format. Kickers are typically the last position filled in snake drafts, and Borregales fits that pattern. If you are targeting a kicker with a full season of 2025 volume on record and a confirmed starting role in New England, he is a viable late option, but the negative draft value is the honest baseline to set expectations against.

The three-year aggregate through 2025 matches his 2025 single-season line exactly across every category: 32 field goal attempts, 27 makes, 55 extra point attempts, 53 makes, and 4 misses. That alignment confirms he was the full-time kicker for the entire three-year window with no meaningful split.

Of his 27 made field goals in 2025, 11 came from 40 yards or beyond: 7 from the 40-49 yard range and 4 from 50-plus yards. He also made 16 from inside 40 yards.

The simulated outcome band runs from 28.7 points at the 10th percentile to 154.1 points at the 90th percentile. The median simulated season is 115.4 points, close to the 111.7 point projection. The spread reflects the high variance inherent to kicker scoring.

He does not have a market ADP, meaning he is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to register one. He is effectively a free agent in most drafts and can be added off the waiver wire or taken with a final-round pick. His K18 position rank and -63.8 draft value reflect a below-replacement-level projection in a 12-team half-PPR format.
