Same Role, Same Volume: Aubrey and Dicker Are Mirror Images
Neither kicker separates on role — both are full-workload PK1s projected for the same 2.3 attempts with no health question marks. Dallas' tight spread keeps that game competitive into the fourth quarter, which is exactly the kind of script that protects a kicker's attempt count. The Chargers' double-digit spread is the bigger swing factor here: blowouts often mean fewer field-goal tries as touchdowns take over, which tempers how much stock to put in Dicker's higher offensive total. Dicker's dome and better accuracy are real, but they're not enough to clear Aubrey's tighter game and slightly better red-zone signal.
What flips it: A Dallas game that turns into a track meet pushes volume toward Aubrey, while a tighter Chargers spread removes Dicker's blowout risk entirely.
