Is that directed at me? That's rather uncalled for.I personally think Justin Tucker will probably outscore Greg the Leg between now and Week 16. My confidence in this? Just a hair over 50/50. Certainly there's room for discussion without calling each other stupid.Now, if I were stuck post-draft with Dan Bailey and an underperforming Dallas offense, then yes, I'd be excited for Zuerlein too.'Raider Nation said:
it's 4 weeks past time to pick him up
To each their own, but it feels awesome when you hear the announcer say "Bradford is sacked, taking them out of field goal range..." only to see Fisher trot Leg out there to boot a 55+ yder soon thereafter. Scoring wise he's basically your average kicker, but with TD vulturing capabilities (5pts for 50+ fgs)...
Got that right!
That's awesome.
I understand where you're coming from. I drafted this kid and have enjoyed his production in every week. Every week but this past one. Someone in my league dumped New England's kicker. I figured Gostkowski had to be an upgrade, right?
I'm burning my ww claim to pick him back up and rolling with him through the season. The Rams' defense has been solid and Bradford should be able to dink and dunk his way to the 50 often enough. The fact his offense sucks is a good thing. It means more drives are likely to stall and with that leg it means more opportunities for big kicks. In distance leagues he's everything you could want. He's likely to have a lousy week or two but so is every kicker (your boy Tucker had a whopping 3 points this week). Zuerlein's upside is a 20 point week. From a kicker. To hell with the 'expert' rankings. No respect for this kid. He needs more love.
Love this freaking guy.
You were all over this one early.
Lollolol
Well you go ahead and let me know how that worked out.
While other people are outside on summer evenings having fun, I barricade myself indoors to watch preseason football.
They were also all over Alfred Morris.
I'm proposing our league make 60 yarders 8 pts next year. Seems like a handful are being made a year. Kind of like when 50 yarders starting to get attempted more in the late 80s.
Better late then never bro
Not that it's much better (and I can't believe I'm not dropping this), but Tucker scored 6 points, not 3, in my league this week (4 points for a 40 yarder and 2 PATs). I figure that's about his floor.I guess ultimately I just can't believe that Fisher is going to continue to routinely let Zuerlein attempt from 58 and 60 yards. Will he continue to let him do it after he eventually misses one? A miss gives your opponent the ball on the 50 yard line. In fact, I can't help but wonder if Zuerlein's 60 yarder is the first 60+ yarder to not come at the end of a half.I understand where you're coming from.

Tucker scored 3 points in leagues that give negative points for missed FGs. Tucker missed a 47 yarder which is -2 in some leagues for 40+ FGs. I think the only thing that will keep Fisher from using Zuerlein from kicking 58 or 60 yarders is inclement weather such as strong wind, but from now up through week 16 all but 4 games are in a dome. If you play in week 17 that is @ Seattle.Not that it's much better (and I can't believe I'm not dropping this), but Tucker scored 6 points, not 3, in my league this week (4 points for a 40 yarder and 2 PATs).

I think having a good offense is overrated when it comes to looking at kickers. Leg is currently the #1 kicker in my league, tied with Hanson. #3-6 are all on teams with good offenses, but the guys after that are Walsh, Barth, Akers, Dawson... hardly any of these guys are on prolific offenses. He's doing this with the Rams currently 27th in the league in yards/game, and 31st in red zone TD%. The important factor is that Fisher does not hesitate to send the rook out for these long FG tries. His 60 yder wasn't like some end of the half prayer. 13 min left in the 3rd quarter up 6pts at the seattle 42yd line and Fisher didn't even have to think it over. To me that says a lot about their confidence in his abilities.
I agree with your thinking here, but have to wonder...how much confidence must Fischer have in this kid to let him make these attempts this early in his career....in a close game versus a divisional rival no less.It's going to take more than one poor showing to start to erode that level of confidence.It's turning into a bit of the perfect storm for Zuerlein here. Plays in a dome, strong defense, offense that lacks playmakers and hence struggles in the RZ, big leg....kid is quite the weapon at this point.
What's your FAAB budget?
Mine is 100 but I only have 18 bucks left - I am still thinking 6 is appropriate.
Mine is $50 and I currently have a $3 bid in for him. Kickers almost always go for $1 in our league, sometimes $2. I'm not sure one has ever gone for $3 but this kid is generating so much hype I'm willing to do it to try and get him.
I had Akers last year and I felt the exact same way. That was like free money. I knew the Niners would find a way to muck it up and give Akers another FG attempt.
dude, if his leg flies off I'll just pick up another kicker.
