Brandon Aubrey or Harrison Mevis: Who Should You Start?
2026 Week 1 · deterministic head-to-head · Verdicts based on PPR scoring.
Aubrey's extra attempt and cleaner track record edge out Mevis in a tight kicker call
Aubrey gets the nod not because either offense is stalling more in the red zone — they're identical there — but because Dallas is projected to run through him one more time this week, and volume is the lifeblood of kicker scoring. His long-range track record with seven 50-plus makes this season also means a stalled drive near midfield is still points, where Mevis with just one make from distance needs the offense to get closer. Mevis's superior accuracy rate is thinner sample size than it looks, and the Rams' slightly heavier implied total doesn't offset the attempt gap. This is close, but the consensus rank gap mirrors real weekly-lineup usage, not just projection noise.
What flips it: A late scratch of Aubrey's long-range role or a Dallas game plan that leans run-heavy near the goal line.
