Brandon Aubrey's fantasy role in Week 10
Brandon Aubrey goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a locked-in weekly starter at K for the DAL. He is rostered in 98% of leagues and actually started in 95% of them, and we rank him K7 on our own weekly board at 4.9 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.

Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Brandon Aubrey (DAL K), our K7 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season vs SF, projecting 4.9 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally's honest about it: 2.6 points under the starter line isn't the ceiling she chases. At home against SF, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. He's still in 95% of lineups at 98% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Mild heat, high rank: reliable points without the fireworks.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Brandon Aubrey (DAL K), our K7 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season vs SF, projecting 4.9 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina's pushback: 95% of leagues start him, so you gain nothing on your opponent here — the edge is elsewhere. SF is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. He's still in 95% of lineups at 98% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Mild heat, high rank: reliable points without the fireworks.
