If you have Brandon Aubrey on your fantasy team, congratulations. The kicker for the Dallas Cowboys continues to impress, maintaining a perfect record on field goals and extra points.

It's not just Aubrey's accuracy that has fantasy owners excited. He can seemingly kick from any distance. For example, his last-second 64-yard field goal against the New York Giants on September 14 put the game into overtime. He then brought "America's Team" to victory with a 46-yard field goal in overtime.
Aubrey's impact isn't limited to one game. Yesterday, he kicked a 53-yard field goal against the Chicago Bears. The team announced it was his 28th career make from 50-plus yards, breaking Dan Bailey's franchise record for most 50-yard field goals.
So what's Aubrey's secret to his performance? Turns out, it's Chris Stapleton.
Dak Prescott Wants Aubrey To Have Walkout Music
Last week, the Cowboys' quarterback, Dak Prescott, said Aubrey should have his own walkout music, like closers in baseball do when they go up to bat. When a reporter asked the kicker what that song should be, he responded with Chris Stapleton's "White Horse."
It's an ideal track for an entrance, starting quietly and building to an epic chorus with Western imagery, including a "cowboy on a white horse."
Perhaps the Cowboys should consider playing "White Horse" when taking the field, as the lyrics seem fitting for the team.
Prescott's playlist pales in comparison to Aubrey's. Sure, music is subjective, but we can't see how the songs he mentions could prepare anyone for 60 minutes of battle.
"I don't even know if I've got a favorite," he says. "'Started From The Bottom' obviously from Drake. Then I can go Train, 'Meet Virginia,' 'Drops of Jupiter.' I can go country, some Darius Rucker 'Alright,' 'Wagon Wheel.' Yeah, I don't know. I could keep going ... Coldplay."
Maybe Prescott doesn't like music.
Aubrey Is a Stan for Chris Stapleton
Since Aubrey can't have "White Horse" play whenever he takes the field, he listens to Chris Stapleton on game day to get him in the right mindset.
"I just love Stapleton," he said. "I pretty much all day on game day listen to Chris Stapleton because he keeps me calm. Don't get too much energy burned before kickoff."
