Yeah, I have Wentz too, and that was my tiebreaker when selecting my K in the last round of the draft. I love the 7 pt TDs and if my QB fails inside the 40, chances are good I come away with 3-4-5 regardless.
I agree - maybe for the same reason Wentz was an 8th round pick ranked ~8th QB. Dude has a strong leg, and is pretty accurate. Eagles should be a high scoring offense. Seems like he has top 5 potential, yet he went 27.08 in my 27 round draft.
I hope you didn’t actually use a waiver on a kicker. I value the heck out of my waiver position. Of course we likely have different waiver rules.
He hit 4 out of 5 last year. He hit 8 out of 9 in 2017. He hit 57 yarders both seasons.
Touché.
That's likely Rotoworld's blurb. Never, ever trust those as gospel or you'll wind up sorely disappointed.
Yeah I usually don’t. Just saying I probably read it when they signed him and I was trying to think through my kicker choice and then got it buried in my head that he can’t kick from a distance any more. It was a false analysis based on nothing so I was glad to be proven wrong.
If accuracy goes down from forty out, that's also range-indicative. I think Bryant's did. I could be wrong, too, as common narrative had his leg declining and common narrative is often wrong.
I'd honestly look at who has the better offensive volume in areas where field goals and XPs could be kicked.
So, I go to last man (10th) on waiver priority for week one. That’s a Small price to pay for an upgrade to my last choice in the draft. He’s a proven commodity.
I guess it depends how your waiver priorities work. But I would disagree. These first few weeks are some of the most important to hold a high position.
Drafted last week. Yeah I’m in a league that after the deadline on Thursday morning it’s open season on the waivers. If you didn’t put a claim in that morning who ever wants an available player and claims him first gets him. Unlimited claims until the games start but yes the following week I’ll be at the bottom. Scantling Valdez and Carlos Hyde went undrafted in my 10 teamer so I picked them up too once I realized I’d drafted Lamar Miller with a torn ACL Lol!
Totally agree. Perfect storm for a zero. I'm taking a deep breath and holding because not much has changed and he's got a favorable match up at home vs. Philthy.
I guess I am too -- not much else you can do as schedule overall is favorable.Futz said:
Rushed, hurried, traded, didn't have time to set up and work with a true team of participants.
The Saints picked Russell Erxleben with the 1.11th overall pick in 1979. He was kicker & punter. He also promised to be a 3rd string QB (!). The idea of a kicker who can nail 60 yards, average 46.0 per punt and throw the occasional 4th down conversion is truly the El Dorado of NFL football.
Was he called what Pablo Picasso (NSFW) was never called? That's a heck of a last name. "Hey, get over here Erxleben!" doesn't have quite the same ring to it as the song's lament does.
