I'm sticking with Reichard.

Indoors. Game script should be solid. Hopefully shook off some rust.

Surprised Tucker is a great play. Should have a lot of opportunities I suppose, but also could see extra points not FGAs.

Reichard had only extra points last week as well.

True. Although Reichard hit the damn upright on a 47 yarder.

Can't go Tucker when he's missing kicks left and right lately. Something's off with him.

Agree with Tucker .. I am sitting him for Moody this week.

Dropped Tucker for Reichard two weeks ago. So now I feel like I have to roll with him. He was outstanding before the injury hoping he's just shaking off the rust.

Tucker on the other hand I couldn't trust at all entering the playoffs.
 
I picked up Boswell 2 wks ago and he has produced double digits each wk so far. He has also been listed in the "avoid" category. Unless there is a significant weather issue I gotta believe we ignore analytics and keep riding Boz. Pits offense putting up good numbers now

I have him and kept him on my bench earlier in the season, never again. I had been using Tucker, what a mistake.
 
Sticking with Bates even though he has a bad matchup (Bills are 30th in FFPA to K.) Since the bye he has 100 FF points in 9 weeks.
  • 3 green matchups - 43 pts
  • 3 neutral matchups - 32 pts
  • 3 red matchups - 25 pts
Opponent has Koo, who hasn’t hit double digits in their last 7 g. Also has the easiest matchup of the week.

Lutz, Reichard & Tucker on the WW.

My opponent picked up Tucker this AM. I am simultaneously nervous and giddy.

I'm rolling with him in a couple of leagues. I agree that something looks off but the matchup is cherry and the guy is just too good to be this bad. It may be a small risk but the opportunities are going to be there and something tells me this is his "get right" game.
 
Deciding between Zane Gonzalez and Aubrey. Took a 0 at Kupp so this is why I’m here.

FBG has hated Aubrey every week since Dak went down. Carolina D seems to be trying? CBS loves Aubrey. Hates Zane this week. Light rain?

Zane off injury, CBS hates, FBGs loves. Indoors

Think WASH just signed another kicker. Watch out.

Tucker vs Aubrey I guess is the new decision. Panthers favored at home and actually trying to win. Dallas packing it in? Light rain.

Tucker is been bad and this could be only extra points game.
 
Anyone streaming kickers this week? Reichard helped me advance in a close Round 1 playoff match, but I'm worried about him in what looks like it will be a rainy game in Seattle. The top 3 recommendations on my wire according to FBG are McManus (possible snow Monday night), York (weather seems OK but hasn't had a big game to date), and Prater (still on IR at the moment). I'm leaning York.

I have Tucker and Moody ... seeing what I can do to get my hands on McLaughlin. TB offense seems to have it going and plays at Dallas and at home vs Carolina

I dumped Reichard for Bass but now I see it looks to be frigid and possible snow in Buffalo.

May have to find a fringy option this week.
 
I have been riding Fairbairn all season. He is now ranked toward the bottom this week, trying to decide if I should stay put or grab one of the higher options.

I was deciding between him and Moody. Fairburn has been great. I’m riding with him.
 
Currently have T. Bass starting. Should get PAT attempts galore, but damn this team just gets nothing but TDs and goes for it on every 4th down with Allen. Game script should be positive. High floor for Bass.

However, supposed to be frigid. Not the best kicking conditions, certainly no long 50+ ones I bet.

Considering McManus. Gamescript should be similar against NO, at home, and weather looks around freezing but not frigid. Think Lafleur may be more apt to pull up for a FG.

Its not sitting Boswell, its sitting their offense as a whole. I added McLauchlin this week, and will probably go with him over Boz. And Boz is the best K in the NFL.

In my dynasty league I have Fairbarin and am considering using Elliott there instead. But the weather in KC looks good enough. Might just stick with him.

McGlaughlin has looked great and TB is hitting their stride. If he was an option for me, it would be an easier choice. With the exception of Reichard, I’m choosing from really bad kickers or kickers on really bad teams. The weather in Seattle and low K points against worries me there. I’m not sure I have the stones to pull the trigger on someone like Ryland, Little or Karty over Boswell. Not in the semi-finals, not after what he did in the first outing against Baltimore.
 
Our league requires you to carry 2 kickers, thought I was pretty safe with Koo and Lutz

Dropped Lutz Wednesday for Prater, and then picked up Gay after hearing Koo was on the IR

Now I'm kind of stuck, Prater won't play, and Gay is questionable.

Here is who's left on the wire.

Patterson vs NYG
Gonzalaez vs PHI
Pineiro vs ARZ
Little @ LV

help me FBGs you're my only hope

I like Patterson of those choices.
 
Our league also has strict roster requirements and requires 2 kickers on the roster so pickings are slim

I've got Moody (SF @ MIA) or Reichard (MIN @ SEA). Worries about the rain in Seattle and SF offense in general.

Available is Cade York (CIN vs CLE)

I'm leaning towards picking him up and starting him over Moody or Reichard

Thoughts?

Gay practiced in full yesterday. He should be good for 8 points at home against the Titans.

Bad offenses are good for kickers IMO

Nobody loves kicking field goals and keeping the game close than Tomlin. My only concern is there seems to be a fair amount of wind in Baltimore

That could save us Boswell backers' bacon. Just give the guy a chance.
 
Both my playoff games involved kickers which I rarely pay attention to during the season. Fairbairn in one and Boswell in the other, both top PK for the year but not ranked high this week. Neither did great or bad, IMO I don't care how many years a league has used PK, get rid of this tradition. I do not think there is any real way of predicting PK points with any success.
 
Bowell vs McLachlin in my league, both had 9 pts.
Wednesday, weather in pittsburgh looks fine, Boz will be in play vs KC, esp if Pickens is back.
 
My fans are aware of my kicker feelings in fantasy football. Kickers are stupid. I just got beat solely because my McLaughlin got doubled up by his Aubrey. It's just dumb. This year I also had my first league without the kicker position ever and it was absolutely life changing. Let it be known. No more leagues with kickers for me. Ever. I'm emotional. So what. They will sing songs of my stance.
 
I tend to rosterbate when it comes to the FF playoffs. 2 out of 3 teams in the finals, both have PK. Instead of trying to improve matchups having Boswell and Fairbairn as 2 of the top kickers, I decided to ride the stud kickers, not the right choice....
