16 - Championship Week - Best KICKERS (1 Viewer)

Is Bryant a valid option or will the falcons score too many touchdowns against the lions?

Am I losing it or is the kickermania link going to last week's sheet?

Yeah it is. I'm sure they'll notice soon. Herman's rankings are up though, Kai Forbath is #1.

Thanks to you guys, I was ahead of the curve and picked up Forbath last night (before we knew where Herman would have him). That said, he had Barf #1 last week And I'm also how I feel about fielding a starting lineup containing 3-4 Redskins (RGIII, Garcon, Forbath, and Washington D). Feels like a waiting to happen...

Yeah I would not do that... too risky. I would start RG3 and Garcon and find another K/DEF.

I know Herman is the kicker expert and I have used him as a reference. Does anyone know how he has done with his rankings this year?

I've looked and his kicker accuracy is not there for this year. Last year he was 46th.The top kicker rankers for this year seem to be Andy Behrens/Scott Pianowski from Yahoo Sports (the staff composite as well), Pat Fitzmaurice, and Ken Zalis.

^ Could you please tell me who they have at #1?

The top 3 for 2012 are:1. Scott Pianowski (Yahoo Sports)2. Site Rankings (Fantasy Football Nerd)3. Justin Boone (TSN)David Dodds is actually at #6.

Thanks - now I'm rethinking in Forbath. Am I sick for thinking about Crosby?

Crosby is absolute garbage. He misses almost as many as he makes.Go with Forbath or Carpenter before Crosby, imo.

Dan Carpenter was limited in practice Thursday with a groin injury. Something to monitor.

(Rotoworld)Dolphins placed K Dan Carpenter (groin) on injured reserve, ending his season.

I'm going with Seattle's kicker - can't spell his name without looking it up. Decent past couple weeks - Seattle should move the ball against SF but stall in red zone - more FG than TD. Bonus is it’s the last game of the week (SNF game, there is no MNF) so I can sweat it out to the bitter end. No work Monday morning either.

I like this play as well.

Seattle moving the ball at will. Let down game and lots of travel for the 9ers, plus they were exposed to the tune of 28 points in 15 minutes last week. I think Hauschka does well this week.

Just debated between Prater and Bailey to replace Tynes and grabbed Prater. Rankings were a reason but also this just seems right. Denver will be able to move the ball, but Cleveland has allowed the least field goals of any team in the NFL this season for some reason. I know they have been in a lot of low-scoring games, but should I be worried because of this stat? He's the highest ranked kicker on the WW, but Bailey is not far behind and is playing the woeful Saints D. New Orleans has allowed six more field goals this season.

Anyone going Nate Kaeding? Just picked up by the Dolphins, who will be playing the Bills this week.

I don't think I can do it.Although I do need to replace Carpenter.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Been going around in circles on my kicker all week.

I think I've made up my mind. Going with the Carolina kicker in good weather and a 8.5 pt spread and going against a lousy defense. Gano

In the other league, picked up and starting Herman's #1 kicker, Washington's Kai

Kai-Gano!

Gano over Janikowski ?

Kobra Kai FTW !!!!

I'm predicting the final score to be 38-13. Which kicker would you rather have in that game?

Was on fence with bailey / cobra Kai... Went bailey for dome factor. Winds to be 10-20mph in Philly Sunday... 40 degrees. Nothing crazy but enough wind to maybe push one.

Also there is a 7pt higher total for the DAL game with team total scoring projected by Vegas at 27 for Dallas and 19.5 for Washington.

I can't venture to guess how much of that scoring will be via field goals but when factoring all the above I went with bailey. Good luck to all!

I'd be more worried by the fact that Prater has missed six FGs in the past six weeks.

Narrowed it down to Kai or Gano. I was leaning to Gano all week, and then I all of a sudden started getting flashbacks of his performance last year.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

Connor Barth at home this week vs the Rams? Dude was money for me until two weeks ago when the wheels came off the Tampa O. Not sure I can trust him anymore, though Vegas is projecting three FGs and two TDs for them.

Do you have a link for that Vegas info? I'd be interested to check it out.

http://www.betus.com.pa/sportsbook/nfl-football-game-lines.aspxTampa -3, with an O/U of 43.5.That means they are projecting a final score of approximately:Tam 23, StL 20

Or Tam 24, StL 20, which would mean 3 TDs and 1 FG... Not nearly as good for Barth.

Or 8 fgs...

 

[nb009]

Anyone still rolling with Jason Hanson?I'm thinking of finally making the switch, after using him this whole season. DET seems to have given up, and I'm worried that if ATL picks up a big lead, DET will stop settling for FGs mid-way through the 3rd or in short 4th down situations. Here are the kickers available on my wire. Any advice on who I should pick up?Graham Gano (OAK)Dan Carpenter (BUF)Adam Viniateri (@KC)Also,Shane Suisham (CIN)Josh Brown (@PIT)Althuogh I'm worried how weather will affect the CIN vs. PIT game.

Ughhh, kickers are so f'ing unpredictable. Could've used those 10 points, Hanson!

Rolling with Graham, Forbeth, Bailey and Zuerlein(16 team deep idp dynasty) in my league finals.
