The Official Kicker (K) Thread (1 Viewer)

Tucker has always been money but this year he's in the bottom third in scoring in one of my leagues. Maybe if Mitchell gets out there at RB, things will change for the Ravens offense. Pretty lame so far. I'll give him 1-2 more weeks before he gets kicked to the wire.
 
I had to drop Moody to pick up a flier off the WW while I'm waiting for Tank Dell to (hopefully) be out this week and move him to IR.

Moody has since been scooped up by my opponent. I'm waffling between Koo and McMamus this week. Opinions?

Koo bc matchup

I assume that's because their D is lousy.

ATL runs such a sloooow moving offense though. Volume doesn't seem too high. Hasn't even attempted a 50 yarder.

Thinking about Koo, but right now have E. McPherson vs SEA. Feel like Cinci getting offense together. Also thinking McManus too, but every time I go with him historically he gives me a clunker.
 
I remember a few weeks back thinking of streaming Matt Gay coming off his 4 50-yard FG game, going into a “revenge game” against his former team the Rams. Thankfully I didn’t because he only had 1 XP and 0 FG to show for it. My point here is that we can analyze matchups and narratives and venue conditions and all that stuff, but kickers for the most part are RNG plays each week. I’m sticking with Brandon Aubrey at kicker because I love the leg strength and the offense behind him, and hoping I can snag an extra kicker for Aubrey’s bye next week. Might just pick a few names and pull a name out of a hat for that one.
 
I'm gonna write 6 kickers names on pieces of paper. Lay them on the floor. Let my dogs decide who to start each week. It's about as logical as spending any time researching in it.

Basically how I’m choosing my next K. Looked at the 6 best ROS ECR avail & put in 6 zero bid WW claims.

If you can’t make a 41 yarder to win the game I don’t need the aggravation. Tight matchup and those missing 4 points (also missed one from over 50) is probably going to cost me a dub.

Yep. Bass missed two 50 yarders last night. Im dropping him. I don't care. No kicker should make me feel that way. There is no statistical analysis that can convince me this position has any rhyme or reason to rank these guys. None. Guys will say your dumb you can't drop Bass. The numbers also say your dumb. Copy that. It's now in my dogs hands.
 
After 6 weeks Maher is the #1 kicker in our league. I’m going to claim him but have no confidence as he missed quite a few FGs and I still can’t get out of my head how he got the yips and couldn‘t make an XP last year.

I picked him up and played him the week he scored 2
 
I dropped Moody (2 misses last week and 2 lousy games in a row after starting with 3 good ones). Grabbed Meyers for this week and likely will look to grab Folk for the rest of the year starting next week.

I picked up Myers. Everyone else bid on Maher. Now I feel like I made a mistake 😂
 
Being in a league where the only distance bonus is at the 50+ mark -- and a dramatic bonus of 5 additional points -- I'm happy to have McLaughlin, whose career 82.6% from 50+ yards would rank as #40 if inserted into the list of career field goal percentages from all distances. I know, I know, sample size. But 19 of 23 is getting to be a pretty decent sample of 50+ yard attempts.

Dude gets a ton of attempts though. Gotta like that.
 
Going with McManus this week...chasing points i guess. But their D seems to be playing better and they are in a dome.
 
I caught up on this thread and I’m as clueless as anyone else here. I finally rage-quit Moody after figuring out that he isn’t the answer. That missed FG cost me my week!

Hopkins is having a sneaky good season and is kicking in a dome this week so I grabbed him. Simple question for the thread: which of the three kickers do you think will have the strongest ROS? Hopkins, Fairbairn or Folk? Maybe this is the week to snatch a top tier kicker who was dropped on their bye just to avoid the weekly streaming headache.

Or maybe I’ll try the dog idea mentioned above. Sounds as good as any other plan.

Someone else rage dropped Mooney in one of my leagues...and I picked him up.

In a dome, SF favored, probably burning mad after last week, and maybe a tad disfunctional in the redzone if CMC and Deebo out...I'll gamble on Moody this week.
 
To me, the one stat that is kind of predictive is FG attempts per game - it sums up all the variables like can they move the ball at all, do they stall in the red zone, does the coach go for it on fourth down, etc.

The other stat is accuracy - percent of FG and XP made. This is important in my league because any miss of 49 yards or less is negative one points. We give a plus one for FG made of 50 or more.

I know some leagues give more points for longer distance kicks - as always, know your scoring.

Hopefully that page gets a weekly update

So on my criteria above for ROS, these would be my targets
Fairbain Texans - FG 17/18, XP 12/12
Folk Titans - FG 16/16, XP 8/8
Maher Rams - FG 16/20, XP 12/12
Elliott Eagles - FG 16/18, XP 13/14
Aubrey Cowboys - FG 16/16, XP 12/13

My one concern with Aubrey is that he hasn't kicked FGs for long

This reinforces my decision to go "ride or die" with Maher or Fairbain wherever I've been able to pick them up.

I have Aubrey rated as my top dynasty K, but the inexperience is a ding. That said, his swing is virtually effortless. It looks like he barely pokes at 50-yarders. He’s my bet to hit a 70 sometime.

Interesting stories how he became a K (suggestion by his wife) & how the Cowboys scouted him incognito at a USFL game.

Do you have this list in order? Going to take a goose egg this week at K to pick between Folk and Fairbairn and your list helps!
 
I’m holding Aubrey through his bye week and using Maher for this week. I’m really high on Aubrey. The Cowboys almost had him try a 70-yarder against the Pats and I think a penalty prevented them from going through with it. He was excellent in both his USFL seasons and doesn’t look phased in his first NFL season. That said the difference between the best kicker and the 12th best kicker in fantasy isn’t large enough to go crazy over it. It’s still the most easily replaceable position in fantasy. But I love me some Aubrey.

This was my source. Not even behind a paywall.

 
I think I'm the curse of kickers this season, you might want to fade me. Results so far this season:

W1: Ryland 2 points
W2: Ryland 6 points
W3: Dicker 4 points
W4: McPherson 3 points
W5: Maher 2 points
W6: Moody 5 points

That's 22 points from kicker, which would be K33 in my league.

I'm sticking with Moody this week FYSA.

My team is stacked at WR\RB with decent QB and RB and I'm 1-5. I hate kickers. One of my 2 leagues dropped them and I love that league so much more.

Moody would seem to have everything you need lined up this week:

* Team is a heavy favorite.
* Strong D, should get more possessions.
* Team should rebound after tough loss.
* Indoors.
* CMC and Debo could be out or limited. Maybe that contributes to inefficiency in the redzone.
 
Love me Dustin Hopkins. Great defense should be a game where they may struggle to score touchdowns. He has been money all year.
Thank you Kicker thread!! I had Patterson in, but read here where there was wind and to avoid. So I dropped him and picked up Hopkins. Needless to say....he scored BIG time, 18.5 points for my team.
Your welcome! And he is past his bye and on team that should be in close games where field goals matter. They clear have no problem letting him kick from 50+either since they have the defence to hold opponents should he miss.
 
7 pieces of construction paper with the names of 7 different kickers on each one. Then a small piece of lunch meat on each piece of paper next to each name. Lunch meat all the same size. Both dogs went to the piece of paper with Jason Myers. Jason Myers it is.
Good job Gus and Zoey. I'll take 9 pts every week. Geno threw a pick in the redzone on 3rd down that should have been another FG.
 
Worth dropping Moody in matchups that are already decided and switching to Aubrey? He’s free right now because he was on bye.

Pass. Even when ive won going into Monday night I like to score points. My leagues total points matters for rankings also. I'd start moody and worry about next week then.
In Dynasty........Aubrey will be a great kicker long term, IMHO. I like him better than Moody even in redraft.

Maybe I'm just the old guy screaming at kids to get off his yard, but I can't imagine I put more time into dynasty kickers then I do redraft kickers. Imo

More Moody blues tonight
I was worried about him. I don't know if he ever missed a game winning kick at the end of a game. Then had to take a long flight home. On a plan filled with NFL players that just had their undefeated season ended. He may be OK in the long run but it has to be weighing on him, and it could very well break him. Especially since he has the added pressure of being a high draft pick for a kicker.

Then he falls on his *** while missing his next kick. I'll be looking at replacing him in 2 leagues tomorrow.
