Kicker Advice - 1/4 ppr league (1 Viewer)

[BDole]

Hey guys,

I'm in a 1/4 ppr league, 10 team and have Dan Bailey as a kicker.  I love his consistency and betting against the cowboys actually getting touchdowns and settling instead for field goals usually works out for me (and this year is no different as he's currently the #3 kicker in our league).  Right now, Dustin Hopkins is available and is tied at #1 for kicker.  Should I drop Bailey and pick him up instead or has he just had a handful of good games?  Not sure if I should stick with old faithful or jump ship for the new guy (the Redskins aren't exactly known for their reliable kickers in the past . . .).  Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Thanks!

It's a kicker man. I use Bailey every year if possible because I trust his accuracy.....it is still just a kicker though. At the end of the year the difference will be at most slightly over a point a game average. Don't waste time thinking about it.

Ride Bailey until his bye, then if Hopkins is still out there drop one for the other and keep on rolling. 

Edited to add:  Had a guy in my league that used to stream kickers the way most people stream defenses.  It drove him nuts...every week he was complaining about how the guy he just dropped went off, and the guy he just picked up only got 3 pts because his team scored 3 TDs and no field goal chances, and on and on and on.  Now that guy drafts Gostkowski in like the 9th round to avoid the mess.
