You really think they won't go out and sign a kicker this week if Gost is out for a while?

Miami didn't in 2004 when Welker was there.
Monitor this situation closely. NE has not signed a kicker yet. If Welker gets kicker duties then he can score some nice points as a flex play. Unless your league penalizes for missed FGs and Pats. I know it sounds completely crazy that Welker could score points in ppr, yards, td, fg and pats category. But stranger things have happened. In 2004 Welker kicked a 29 yard FG against the Pats. Welker used to play soccer since he was 4 years old.
"Patriots K Stephen Gostkowski (quad) had an MRI Monday, the results of which are not yet known.
The Boston Globe is reporting that his status is still "up in the air," while Comcast SportsNet New England has previously reported he'll miss at least two weeks and the team is expected to sign Shayne Graham to fill in. At this point, coach Bill Belichick has said only that bringing in another kicker is "a possibility.""

No.
Now, is that just because he's missing them, or the general application of "defensive players on offense ala Mike Vrabel don't get points for the D/ST"?

Is this a real thread ?
I'll take 5/60/1TD from this guy. Stop being greedy.

a FG in my league is worth 1 reception for 20 yards. I'll take Welker on it.

6.3 in PPR leagues

Per Twitter and CBS Sports, the Pat's will be signing Shayne Graham.

What are various league's qualifications to be listed as a kicker?
I mean, why couldn't Welker be played as a K once he's played a game there? I know a lot of baseball leagues require X number of games started to qualify for a certain position, I'm sure football is the same. I know Dexter McCluster is listed at WR and RB on Yahoo leagues.
If you could start him at K and take advantage of his WR stats, he'd be the #1 K AND free up a roster spot at WR.

Or if you have crappy receivers like me (Moss, Ochocinco, steve smith) you could trade for welker, start him at WR knowing you also get kicker points... because my starting kicker will outscore those crappy receivers.

I am shocked....SHOCKED...that the Pats signed another kicker instead of using Welker.This thread had tons of potential insights and discussions.
