Gould has a week 4 bye. I love Gould but I really don't want to cut another player that early in the season to carry 2 kickers for a week. Most of the other good kickers have late bye weeks. It is far easier to cut another player in week 10 than in week 4.
But if you can juggle it, look at the later season schedule for Gould:
That is a sweet end-of-season schedule. I'll definitely be looking to pick up Gould after his bye week. My guess is he'll be dropped at least half of the time. Maybe three-quarters of the time. And picking him up in week 5 will have the added benefit of not having to drop another position player later in the season to keep my other kicker.But if you can juggle it, look at the later season schedule for Gould:
9 @ Arizona Cardinals
10 vs Seattle Seahawks
11 vs Arizona Cardinals
12 vs Green Bay Packers
13 @ Baltimore Ravens
14 @ New Orleans Saints
15 vs Atlanta Falcons
16 vs Los Angeles Rams
From week 9 forward, you only get ONE potential bad weather game (week 13 in Baltimore); the playoffs (weeks 14-16) are against what should be 3 of the top scoring teams in the league (1 in a dome and 2 at home in SF), and as an added bonus, who doesn't like a grown man named Robbie ?

Same total number of letters as Bucs DL Tevita Tuli'aki'ono Tuipulotu Mosese Va'hae Fehoko Faletau Vea (although Vea's name is slightly longer when you include punctuation and spaces).
This one looks like it is coming down to preseason final. Vedvik has had some rough practices since last weeks debacle. Looks like 5-9 and 5-8. With some bad shanks inside 40. But Bailey does not have the leg for longer kicks. Better accuracy. Add in the 5th rounder given and giving up on Dan Carlson early who went to Oakland and played well. Will they keep both with Vedvik as punter and FG specialist outside 50. Not sure but maybe scenario but really won’t know till after preseason game and maybe Saturday. If I had to draft today, I try to avoid but if wanting Vikings PK, I think they learn from Carlson and take chance on Vedvik. But won’t bet on that.
If I recall correctly, before Atlanta let him go, weren't they using a punter (or someone else) for kicks of 50+ yards ?
What do we know about Slye?
Welcome, my friends, to the show that never ends.
And he has the best schedule in fantasy history! Like 13 games indoors and rest in warm weather!
Unwise. The unsteadiness of the position is causing teams to value kickers in non-traditional ways yet refusing to pay for established ones. I wonder what the salary cost of a made field goal relative to other field goals is or should be.Trading a 5th round pick for a kicker and then cutting him two weeks later is kind of one of the most insane things ever.
of course that’s the same guy who gave up a first for Sam Bradford, so
In my league Fairbaim finished as pk1. Not sure if anything has changed to at least keep him as a safe choice as this year's #6adp.
Fairbarn went early in our league. So he wasn’t an option.
He’s my pony until week 10.
I also own Wentz and Ertz. Elliot puts my Eagles investment to three. But I think I like the fact that he tacks on a extra point if those two connect. And gets a FG shot if they stall.He’s my pony until week 10.
Fits much of my criteria. Good offense, late BYE, reasonably accurate from deep, and has a foot at the end of his leg.
its rare that I save a K for after their BYE, but since my only K league is IDP there may be a marginal defensive player I can drop if Elliott proves worthy of a hold.
Otherwise I’ll just grab someone who had an early BYE, preferably who kicks in a dome.
I don't get why he was ranked so low on most services. He was the no brainer target imo.He’s my pony until week 10.
