Eddy Pineiro — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Eddy Pineiro's 2025 season was the strongest of his three-year stretch. He connected on 28 of 29 field goal attempts, missing just one, and added 34 extra points on 38 attempts. His long-range work stood out: 10 makes from 40-49 yards and 6 from 50-plus. That 50-plus total was his best across the three seasons on record. The accuracy trend is real. Over the 2023-2025 window, he averaged 25 field goals and 28 extra points per season on 28 attempts, missing just 3 per year on average. The 2025 miss rate of one in 29 tries is the kind of efficiency that keeps a kicker relevant deep into a season.
What the model projects
The projection is 107.5 half-PPR fantasy points for 2026. That puts Pineiro at K20 and #246 overall, landing in Tier 9. His draft value is -69.5, meaning the projection sits below replacement level at the kicker position in a 12-team half-PPR format. The point estimate of 107.5 sits below the median simulated season of 116.8, which reflects the shape of the outcome distribution rather than any contradiction in the numbers.
| FG | FGM | XP | Half-PPR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 25 | 4 | 17 | 105.0 |
| 2024 | 22 | 4 | 33 | 103.0 |
| 2025 | 28 | 1 | 34 | 139.0 |
| 3-yr avg | 25 | 3 | 28 | 25.0 |
The range of outcomes
The simulated season band is wide. At the low end, the bottom 10 percent of outcomes lands at 22.3 points, a floor that reflects how volatile kicker scoring can be from year to year. The 25th percentile comes in at 75.9. The median simulated season is 116.8 points. A strong season at the 75th percentile reaches 134.5, and the top 10 percent of outcomes climbs to 155.1. That 132.8-point spread between p10 and p90 is the defining feature of this profile: the upside is real, but so is the downside. Pineiro's 2025 accuracy gives the upper end of that band some grounding in recent history, but the lower end is always in play for any kicker.

How to draft him
Pineiro 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 undrafted addition in most 2026 snake drafts. His Tier 9 placement and K20 rank reflect a below-replacement projection, so the calculus here is straightforward: there is no urgency to spend a pick on him early. If you want him on your roster, the window to grab him is late, and in many drafts he may not be claimed at all. His 2025 efficiency and 50-plus range give him a ceiling worth monitoring, but his rank and tier signal he should not cost you anything meaningful to acquire.

Yes, by the numbers. He made 6 field goals from 50-plus yards in 2025, his highest single-season total in the three-year window on record. He also added 10 makes from 40-49 yards that year.
The simulated season band runs from 22.3 points at the 10th percentile to 155.1 at the 90th percentile. The median simulated season is 116.8 points, and the point projection is 107.5.
He does not have a market ADP, meaning he is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to establish one. In most 2026 snake drafts, he is available very late or goes undrafted entirely.

Beyond the rankings
This page ranks the players. Nobody has ranked the people in your league.
Half your room drafts off a sheet like this one. The managers who cash every year aren't holding a better sheet; they have tendencies, and after enough seasons the tendencies are a book. Your league's own draft history is where it's written.
RotoAlpha reads it. Paste your past drafts, from any platform, and every manager in your league gets a profile: who reaches, who chases runs, who pays up for their own team. Then it sits with you on draft night with a plan that adapts pick by pick, knowing who is likely to reach next.
Names invented. Most long-running leagues have a table like this.
