Dependable kickers aren't just floating around the league. They're no longer that expendable. You wait on injuries to them if you've got a good one. I think that's the best explanation Look at the Jets last week, and Cleveland and Chicago, etc., ad nauseum almost. It's a tough job now. We've seen the ceiling given the current rules, it seems.
This is not in hindsight -- I did not realize that LAC were using a punter. [scooter] is/was right, and was right at the time. I was unaware they weren't using a roster spot for a true kicker.
How about now? I was encouraged by the 50 yarder but then misses. I can live with that normally. However, the general lack of attempts and really inconsistent offense are making me wonder about Slye, Gonzalez, Rosas of the world. All on offenses that move the ball but don't cash in often.
Great question. For me, still a hold. Ryan looked terrible in Game one but came back with OK stats, and was able to move chains despite the lack of rush support.
I'm a hypocrite, I totally caved and dropped Bryant for Slye to go with the upside. No one claimed him on the wire, but a couple of guys had some bottom barrel kickers -- Slye is the #1 kicker in the league, and felt someone was going to snag him before the weekend started.
I'm about to do the same. I can't help but think Bryant will make us pay for lacking faith but whatever, it's a friggin kicker. Guys in my league will drop studs for byes so all will not be lost.
I picked up Maher because of the insane projections and the way Dallas is just going to have their way and I'm hoping for incidental field goals. I also have Butker, so that's a no-brainer.
I dropped Elliott in one league because Pederson actually knows when to go for two or on fourth aggressively and not stupidly.
Slye might drop a bit with Cam now looking like he won't start. Not that Cam has played well, but still should hurt some.
Yep...same here. Lutz may get more chances (as the season progresses) with the Bridgwater-led offense possible stalling more...but not worth it this week with Lutz...both outdoors, and in the rain. Maher it is,
I was thinking just this -- that picking up Slye for the kicker on an offense that can reliably get into range may backfire.
Kickers have the second most success in all NFL stadiums in Seattle. First is Atlanta. I picked up Lutz because the Seahawks secondary sucks so I think NO will move the ball but stall a few times. Light rain, no wind. It's not an issue.
Not a lot of discussion about this guy but he is intriguing to me. CHI has a great defense, a suspect offense, and he apparently has a big leg. Anyone rolling with him on MNF this week against WAS?
Wait until after this week. Historically the kickers with the most points after week 3 will be in the top scorers for the season. There's always a FA out there that nobody thinks about, but three games is usually enough to establish who is going to be kicking a lot of FGs.
the greatest trick the devil ever pulled...Ty Long kicking for the Chargers AGAIN.
At this point I am convinced that this whole charade is nothing more than an elaborate prank and that "Mike Badgley" isn't even a real person.

Yeah kickers can be hard to predict but he’s been screwing me, gotta grab someone else
