Dropping Kickers and Defense from Lineup? (1 Viewer)

[PRAE]

We are considering dropping Kickers and Defense entirely from lineups in our dynasty league. I have read a few articles on the subject but haven't found anything on the suggested starting lineups without K and DST.

Current Starters are:

QB

RB

RB

WR

WR

TE

Flex

K

DST

Obviously turning the K and DST into flex positions would work, but I was just curious what others have done and how it has worked out for their league. Thanks!

Never. It's part of the NFL, it will be part of any FF league I am in.

Exactly what is the benefit of dropping them in your league? It adds excitement. A defensive TD can be a game changer, just like in the NFL.

Nope it's part of the game. Instead you should be considering adding punters.

If you no longer want them then why not just drop them outright? Why do they need to be replaced at all? Just have 7 starters instead of 9.

That was just one suggestion. At this point I am open to other options (including not replacing them at all, as you suggested). Thanks.

Dynasty defensive/special teams? Every dynasty I've been involved in uses IDP.

I'm dropping the PK position in my redraft league this season.

For twelve years we've started a PK and had a flex position that had to start a TE or WR. We'll be adding a starting TE in place of the kicker and maintain our current 3 WR starters.

We start 4 IDP in this league. I don't join leagues that make you start a Team D.

I hate both kickers and team D and won't join a league now that includes either position, go Superflex, go tiered PPR, add an extra flex, go 2 TE, anything but K and DEF, they are awful. Dealing with kickers that you don't give a crap about every week is the worst, they have zero trade value and are just an annoyance. I had 2 leagues go into this offseason still having kickers, one has removed them, the other is voting on removing them this month!
