interesting article on why fantasy kickers are dumb

Justin Tucker isn't dumb :sad:

but seriously after reading 2 paragraphs I agree. Garrett Hartley is still being started in most leagues because nobody pays attention to kickers. Nobody cares enough, and why have a part of the game nobody cares about?

Justin Tucker isn't dumb :sad:

If I lost my fantasy semi finals on Tucker's 60 yard kick I'd have... well ashley I experienced a just-as-bad-beat so I know that feel

I was able to coin the phrase "Denise Pitta pity party" so it wasn't all bad.

Edited the post up there.

Saw someone on Twitter bitching about having Jamaal Charles give him a 20 point lead over his wife, with only Tucker left to play. It's happened. Damn, was just meaning to change my match yours, but you have to have one that fits.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

There is no rhyme or reason for why or when kickers have big days. You can't "play the match ups" with kickers outside of maybe avoiding guys playing in blizzards so drafting Ks that play in domes.. it is just so random I would rather it not be apart of things. As this guy said, make it a 2 QB league, 3 WR league or play an extra flex.

I may experiment with this in our league next year.

Wow, the top 9 kickers have been started almost continuously in our league, and I've been holding on to 18th place Hartley this whole time? What a waste. Shame I didn't bother to check, just stuck with random kicker on a good offense. Accidentally started Prater in my other league when on a bye, so I'm all for doing away with them. How much free range do you have when setting up the league? Can you edit kicker points to 0 for all?

You look at the top kickers... Tucker's #1, but he's been hit or miss, he could get you 5... or 15... or 25... Guess you can trust him because Flacco in the redzone spells trouble... then there's Gostowski, Hauschka, Prater, Crosby, Bailey, the Colts dude, Dawson... At least 5 of these have QB's you wouldn't expect to fuck up in the RZ... then there's Nick Folk having a great year but with an offense you have as much faith in as WWE Booking, then the Buffalo kicker, THEN Gano in Carolina, who you'd trust much more than many of these other guys.

did I just break down kickers for 2 paragraphs? fml

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Pretty sure I can just set it so kickers don't have a roster spot.

Maybe I can make it so one position is like RB/WR/K--- so if you reallyyyyyyyyyyy want to start a K you can

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I do think I will make it 3 WR though whatever we decide to do with kickers

 

[Snowman1]

2 flexes/3 wide receivers instead of kickers? That works great, as long as you don't have to waste a draft pick on one either.

Two flexes could be cool but almost offers---- too much flexibility

I feel like going RB/RB/WR/WR/WR/TE and then 1 flex of RB/WR/TE is the way to go considering today's landscape. So many WRs produce I think 3 mandatory with the option to play 4 is pretty reasonable.

sounds good to me, kickers are so rng anyway

Hey Dolph's, on a scale of 1-10, how much faith do you have in Cousins this week vs Allass? He's gotta be the top waiver-wire guy, isn't he? Like him better than Palmer, Flacco, Fitz... never mind, holy shit nobody picked up Cutler! *scoops him up*

Cutler at Philly, Cousins vs Dallas, or Luck at KC?

I had full plans to start Cousins over Luck (along with Garcon) vs Dallas to lead me to the championship in my $$$ league before Denise fucked me over. So, a lot. I am also considering starting him over Foles in another league (will probably resist)

I think Cousins is good for 300 and 3 scores, honestly. I could probably never trust J Cutty on the road in a championship fantasy situation. He is too Blue

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

oh and this is just a free league but I'm going Cousins over Cutler and Cam in our WWEF Fantasy league

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Welker not playing this week meaing Fitz outscored Welker on the season

suck it @Danielson
