I understand this logic, but it's incomplete. It isn't just the relative non-value of kickers in most leagues, but the UNPREDICTABILITY of said kickers. There is no consistancy, no predictability. No way to rank them from week to week or year to year. The top scoring kicker in any given week could come from literraly any team playing...even when his team is atrocious and puts up less than 200 yards of offense.There's a reason many fantasy leagues are dropping kickers altogether. We all accept that there is an element of luck in fantasy football...but kickers in scoring systems like this introduce too much luck. Might as well skip fantasy football and play roulette.

Everyone predicted Hartline to be the #1 WR this week and for Tannehill to throw for 431 yards. I wish kickers were as predictable as QBs and WRs.
Hartline's day was an abberation. But look at Tannehill...did his fantasy numbers dwarf the normal leaders...or were they in line with the top QBs on any given week? Even Hartline's weren't much higher than guys we typically see lead the league (Roddy White this week).Position guys MAKE THEIR OWN CHANCES, or at the least, their chances are made by the success of their team. Kickers chances at a big day are, more often than not, made by the FAILURES of their teams.This kicker DOUBLED the normal high score of any position player, based on no unique talent of his own. Sorry...I find that silly and wouldn't want any part of a scoring system like that.
You got a lot of bad arguments here. Where to begin...
Hartline's day was an abberation.
Correct. As was Zuerlein's.
But look at Tannehill...did his fantasy numbers dwarf the normal leaders...or were they in line with the top QBs on any given week?
Please see Dawson and Barth from this week. Both were within 4.7 points of Zuerlein's scoring in my league so his points were inline with the other top kickers of the week.

This might be your worst one. How does a WR make his own chances if the QB doesn't throw him the ball? How does a RB make his own chances if he doesn't get any handoffs? All players are reliant on the offense as a whole.
Kickers chances at a big day are, more often than not, made by the FAILURES of their teams.
They are getting an opportunity to put points on the board. Punting or turning the ball over is a failure for an offense. Scoring points is not.

He was the 4th highest scorer in my league and within 5 points of another 10 or so players. We also only have 3 point passing TDs so I'm guessing that he would have been ranked much, much lower in standard scoring leagues.
