Loop on bye...who's the pick up this week? Kai? Eddie? Reichard?

Feelings on McLaughlin going forward? I’m thinking of dumping him for Boswell.

I did it last night.

Human interest kicking. Eddy Pineiro talks about his father living practically next door to the SF kicker.

Starting McLaughlin, but picked up Fairbairn during his bye .. love the playoff indoor schedule for him. (AZ and LV week 15 and 16)

Is McManus back this week?

That's cool - always love those types of stories. Pineiro doesn't get much play on the weekly or rest of the season rankings, but he is just a point back of Aubrey in my main league and actually bests everyone, including Aubrey, in PPG for kickers (he didn't play week 1). He hasn't missed a FG yet (15/15, with one missed XP) and plays for a good offense. The sample size is pretty small I guess, but if you're looking for an upgrade, you could do worse than plugging him in - he's available in a lot of leagues.

Snagged him last week in both of my redraft leagues and couldn’t be happier. Takes all of the edge off of losing Shrader.

The definition of “set and forget.”

Is McManus back this week?

Still questionable and Haservik is still on the roster.

 

[Runkle]

Is McManus back this week?

Probably not going to find out about the GB or CHI situation until Friday or maybe even early Saturday.

McManus DNP today.

My kicker strategy.

Unless I have B. Aubrey (which I don't)...

...Drop my kicker every waiver period.

Work waivers/FA to fill other holes as best as possible.

Come Sunday morning, pickup the BA kicker who is a) Favored, b) Isn't a bum, c) Preferably in a dome, d) Offense tends to get clunky in the redzone.

In a world where for the most part kickers are random number generators, this has worked well for me.

Yes but it's unbelievable how often owners stick with kickers and come 12:59 there are several top 10 kickers still available. Fantasy blind spot for many.

We HAD a guy in our league who bitched anyone who did this saying it was unsportsmanlike not to roster a kicker at all times. So glad he's gone.

I have Aubrey in a dynasty league and love it as he has been terribly consistent. Other than that I would agree although if I have a good kicker on a hot offense I have a hard time dropping him. Points are points…

One guy in my league drafts a starting lineup every year (1 QB, 2RBs, 2WRs, 1 TE, 1 Flex guy, 1 defense, 1 kicker) then leaves the room and sets to auto draft.

He just burned a waiver move on picking up a kicker I assume he'll be holding for the rest of the season.

We call his team the "walking check".

 

[ratbast]

I’m considering pivoting from Matt Gay, Wash. (Usually whomever I pick up scores less than who I drop in the first week) Can Wash keep this game close without its WRs?
