Im going pineiro but perfectly fine pivoting to badgley if I don't get him
I went with Sly. Am I doing it wrong? Terrible offense, outdoors, but he’s been hot.
Doing the same with Slye.
Doing Slye for a week but someone dropped Fairburn who is on a bye so will try and grab him. Houston is indoors all fantasy playoffs

Misses practice Wednesday​

Slye (right calf) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
 
Picked up Pineiro, could have had Myers or Slye instead. Badgeley still available, may pivot to him, prefer dome kickers generally. Losing Shrader was such a sickener, set it and forget it dude this year.

I dunno, feel like there are plenty of other kickers who will by the end of the year get you similar amounts of points. The difference between the 1st and 12th rated kicker in my league is like 2.5 points a week. Not inconsequential, but also not something that 2nd rated Shrader was going to maintain anyway (I say this as a Shrader owner who dropped him yesterday to pick up Pineiro)

Exactly who I picked up, hoping you're right, don't trust Badgeley yet
 
Do you kicker freaks ever try and pair your K with your QB?

I know it’s not a perfect science, but an extra point on top of your QB score, and any FGM are of course gravy.

(Asking as a Josh Allen owner considering Prater)
I did this with Josh Allen and Bass a couple of years ago and would get pissed every time they went for it on 4th down deep in the offensive zone and failed to convert.

I think it depends on the kicker and your scoring system. I rolled with a Brady/Gostowski combo for years in one dynasty league and never had any complaints. Currently have both Mayfield and McLaughlin, and again don't have any complaints. That said, our league gives more points for long FGs (1 pt for 0-19 yards; 2 pts for 20-29 yards, 3 pts for 30-49 yards; and 4 pts for 50+ yards), so you want a guy that can connect on those long FGs. Sometimes it's nice to know that barring a turnover, you're coming away with SOMETHING once the team gets into FG range.

Nah I try to get the highest scoring kicker every week. Also not an exact science. What I am confident is that my final remaining league that forces me to roster a kicker, will replace the position with a flex spot. And I can’t wait.

You ain’t from here are you? The Official Kicker folks don’t take kindly to the likes of you, best just keep moving on stranger.

Had him the last two weeks, if only I could stream DST with these kind of results

Same boat! Every single week, my DST is terrible, can't ever seem to pick a good one.

Pineiro has been money
 
Houston kicker’s bye week. He’s been solid, but had to drop him. Picked up Eddie and it worked out this week. Kickers are dependent on game scripts. Hard to trust any of them these days. Not because of their skill, but their coaches.
 
Had to drop Fairbairn this past week for a bye replacement. Went with Little. Missed a PAT and then got no kicking chances the rest of the game. Big fat zero in my lineup. Lost my matchup by 4. Sad times. Hope I can pick Fairbairn back up this week.
 
Chris Boswell. I member last year reading a article explaining why the metrics don't support Boswell but I'm ready to go against rankings and ride w Boz again. Last year he was regularly on "avoid" list and ended up #1 K 2024 per FF Today. This year points 16,12,3,6,bye,15.
I grabbed them too, since I lost Schrader. One thing I read that helped my decision is that HC Tomlin is the most likely coach to settle for FGs and the opposite is Lions HC Campbell that guy just goes for it on 4th a lot.
