The difference between Gould and an average kicker is about 6 pts a game right now.Is Henry worth more or less than that? Thats the question.
A very good point. Hadn't really thought of that.
Henry has value in my league as a RB2, give or take.He's just not a RB2 on my team because I'm fortunate to be loaded at RB.So Henry has value in my league, but he doesn't have a ton of value on my team. So the question is do I take the top Kicker in fantasy football for a guy I can afford to dump? Or should I hold out and try to get more value for him?
This is completely true, with the possible exceptions of Matt Stover and Jason Elam who have consistently finished in the top 10 for kickers over the last few years.Other than those two, it's a crapshoot.
That is why I just went after Adam V...coming off an injury, and kicks in a nice dome. I can't see giving up Henry for a Kicker...I think you will be hard pressed to find a backup RB if one of your Running backs go down, versus a kicker. Wilkens kicks in a dome as well...and is putting up good numbers. If you are looking for a Kicker, maybe target him.
IIRC, vinatieri and lindell have had some good years playing in the northeast vs. northeast teams without domes.
See, that's why I'm willing to trade Henry for a kicker. Warrick Dunn is my RB3 with LT2 and Westbrook as my RB1 and RB2. Plus I have LT and Westbrook backed up with Turner and Buckhalter. So Henry will never see the field.Hence, he's all but useless to me. And thus, I can afford to dump him for the #1 kicker in Fantasy.Atleast, that's my thinking.nerangers said:That is why I just went after Adam V...coming off an injury, and kicks in a nice dome.

Exactly my thoughts. If you say you don't need Travis Henry, but need a kicker, Go for it! He's the best kicker in the league and has out produced Travis Henry so far this year.
I still don't understand why you would drop the best kicker if your roster allows it. Depending on your scoring system, he is outperforming players like Edgerin James, Rudi Johnson, Chad Johnson, Cadillac, Lamont Jordan. The guy is an every week starter until proven otherwise. I'm not worried with the weather with the schedule left for the Bears.- (In case you have not figured it out, I have some serious Man Love for Robbie Gould!!

This might be true but 2 out of 3 fantasy playoff games for Gould are in domes-STL and DET. Not only that but a good kicker is going to make the kicks more times than not. Sure he may miss a couple because of weather conditions but what kicker doesn't? If Henry is never gonna see the field then why wouldn't you make that deal?I'm kind of surprised that more people haven't ragged on you for posting a quasi trade thread in the Almighty Self Righteous Shark Pool.Crippler said:
I don't care how good Gould is, you can get more out of him.
Buyer beware.
