Thoughts on Walsh going forward? I need to drop Bailey for someone and It's short bench so would prefer this to be my last kicking move of the year (transaction cost league)
Own bryant ( held him through his bye)-- and he's been awful... 3 straight ####ty weeks with a bye mixed in.Current kicker is Tucker but Bryant just became available. Tucker has a bye coming up in week 10 so thinking of a preemptive move and dumping for Bryant. Both are playing on weak offenses but Atlanta has a higher ceiling than Baltimore. Can't keep both & if I don't do this I'll have to dump Tucker in two more weeks for another kicker.
I like Elliott as the top K this week.Anyone interested in Prater coming off his bye and kicking mainly indoors, or do we prefer Butker and Elliott to him?
Great insight there. The rest of season argument for Prater over those two would have to be the dome aspect vs cold weather. I think all of Butker’s remaining games, other than at Dallas next week, are outdoors in typically colder climates.I like Elliott as the top K this week.
RoS I think you’d have to favor Butker since there’s still a chance Caleb Sturgis takes his job back when he’s off IR in a couple weeks, but both have been outstanding. The KC K is #1 on a PPG basis as well as 3.50 FGA.
Pit has given up 8 FGA in 7 G, Detroit is without its best playmaker, and the only healthy lineman (LT) might be the worst starting o-lineman in the NFL. 2.0 FGA /g is pretty far down the list.
KC has 4 of 5 at home Weeks 12-16. Chiefs homers can chime in but the average high in December for KC is 40, only the LAC game is st night. He’s got two games at MetLife (Weeks 11 & 13) but the wind is not as swirling / unpredictable as it was at Giants Stadium.Great insight there.

His last two weeks (3 if you held thru the bye as you did) have been bad. 1-4 on FGs with 4 XPs. I dropped Tucker for Bryant for two reasons:packer_junkie said:Own bryant ( held him through his bye)-- and he's been awful... 3 straight ####ty weeks with a bye mixed in.
This might answer my question above. Matt Bryant was dropped and I'll put in claim for him to replace Bailey and be my ROS kicker.His last two weeks (3 if you held thru the bye as you did) have been bad. 1-4 on FGs with 4 XPs. I dropped Tucker for Bryant for two reasons:
1) Tucker still has his bye coming up in week 10. I don't have the luxury of holding two kickers on my roster so I made a preemptive strike two weeks early for Bryant, Stats to date for each are Bryant 10-13 FGs and 14-14 XP with Tucker 13-15 and 11-11. Not much difference. If I held Tucker for two more weeks I didn't know what would be available and didn't want to be left holding the bag with a worse kicker for the playoffs.
2) Tucker is obviously more talented but Baltimore's offense stinks on ice and I don't think they are getting any better. Atlanta hasn't been very good either but with all the talent they have on their offense I have to think they have a higher ceiling than Baltimore.
Yeah, I'm holding. It all really depends on how deep your rosters go. In one league (previous post) we have short rosters and I can't afford to hold so I dumped Tucker two weeks early for Bryant. In the league where I have Ghost we have 20 slots so I'm holding and picked up Novak for one week.What are Gostkowski owners doing next week? For some reason I felt like he’s been underperforming, but just checked and he’s #3 kicker
Not a ton of separation between the #3 kicker and the #12 kicker so not sure I wouldn’t mind streaming.
likely wouldn’t get him back due to the name brand.
Anyone holding?
He should be good to go. Last week he was on the injury report with a back issue but was taken off later in the week. Looking this morning I don't see him listed on any reports for this week.This might answer my question above. Matt Bryant was dropped and I'll put in claim for him to replace Bailey and be my ROS kicker.
So effing true. Miss his views since he disappeared.Huge void in the FF world since Mike Herman / Kickology faded away a few years ago. If anybody was looking for a niche...
Agree loved his charts! Is he anywhere now? Twitter, another company? anything?So effing true. Miss his views since he disappeared.

Never met him but followed his blog & Twitter feed. After he left FBGs staff he posted for a couple years on h.s. & college kicker prospects, soccer, and some NFL kicker news. Kickology ceased posting10/29/15 without explanation.So effing true. Miss his views since he disappeared.

I only became a subscriber to FBG in 2014 and he was still involved then for the first 2 years I had the subscription, used to like pouring over his charts and trying to discern patternsNever met him but followed his blog & Twitter feed.

I would move on. No reason to play him in bad weather in a bad matchup.Weather sucks and Matt Bryant is trending down but I'm sticking with him. Not holding 2 stupid kickers. I hate kickers. Wish it was not part of the starting roster requirements
Same situation. Have Tucker but wanted to hold him through his upcoming bye. Usually like to start the same kicker every week because I hate trying to guess week to week kicker but Legatron seemed worth my last bench spot.VikingFrog said:Greg Z dropped in both leagues I’m in.
I never carry two kickers, but If you can ditch a bench flyer that has limited upside, he’s probably worth grabbing.
I traded him and $5 in FAAB money for Hauschka to the Succop owner. Happy to be moving on from Bryant, even if it cost me 2.5 percent of my FAAB.Weather sucks and Matt Bryant is trending down but I'm sticking with him. Not holding 2 stupid kickers. I hate kickers.

I picked up legatron in both leagues and will drop Gostkowski next week.Same situation. Have Tucker but wanted to hold him through his upcoming bye. Usually like to start the same kicker every week because I hate trying to guess week to week kicker but Legatron seemed worth my last bench spot.
Will probably pick one in a few weeks.
True, it's such a game dependent position you need to have as much as possible surrounding the guy. Nothing worse than taking a zero because of a shutout, even rbs & wrs can pile up a few yardage points in those kind of games.15-20+ point weeks from your K are awesome when they come, but what I want more than anything is a guy who is on an offense that consistently provides FGA. The floor is more important than the ceiling when it comes to the position we’d all prefer to eliminate.
Butker, Elliott, & Lutz are the only three kickers who have yet to score below 8
I kept "The Leg" through his bye....points are points.Couple thoughts:
- Nugent for the Cowpokes had a nice first game.
- Butker has been outta control good. Two 20+ points in 4 games is the stuff of season changing RB2's. I'm not dropping him at the bye. Funny thing is Carolina took the unusual step of an NFL team to carry two kickers to hold him, so why shouldn't an FF team?
He has two podcasts (Late Round Quarterback / Living the Stream) that are decent. Harris FF is still my favorite podcast but rarely has anything on Ks.
Pete Carroll tells 710 ESPN Seattle that the Seahawks won't take a look at any other kickers this week after Blair Walsh missed all three of his field goal attempts against Washington. Carroll noted that Walsh was 12 of 13 on the season before Sunday.

Buntker was just dropped in my league. I plan on dumping Bryant for him, and just taking the zero (I'm top seed now).I think it's time to dump Matt Bryant with him being hurt again and the falcons sucking. Thoughts on lambo?
Thinking about dropping Bryant for Elliott and doing the same?Buntker was just dropped in my league. I plan on dumping Bryant for him, and just taking the zero (I'm top seed now).
So they're locks except when they're not?It seems guys like Buntker, Succup and Legatron are locks for big points. With the exception of a down week here and there.
Yeah, Jerry said it was an 8 week thing and he's missed about 3. So looking at a month more of Nugent. If you trust Jerry talking about injuries.Does it look like Nugent will be kicking for Dallas this week?
Do it. I dropped Inman for Gould to keep Elliott.Someone dropped Elliott in my league.
I have a second defense I was gonna drop for a RB lotto ticket but I'm thinking about picking up Elliott and have 2 kickers for one week
