I was INCHES away from winning this thing. Nailed the yardage, but the idiot punter botched the placement.

Maybe we could make a new thread for the hot sauce competition?
Dont get me wrong, I love it.
but I’m also a fantasy nerd and mostly click on this link to hear about, uh, kicker stuff. Not just dudes trying to win some spicy gold.

Dropped Zane Gonzalez and noticed Josh Lambo was on the wire in my league. Grabbed him and might ride him the whole year, strong leg and the Jacksonville O can move the ball well with Minshew II.

As well as not being great, thus whiffing on enough 3rd downs in the RZ to get a goodly amount of FG tries.

So...Slye.
1 FG, 1 missed from 50+ (which I guess is forgivable).
4 PATs, 1 PAT missed.
2 points in my league scoring.
Is he a guy we hold given track record so far (no matter who the QB is) and a seemingly aberration in his scoring potential?
Or do we drop/stream him, especially if guys like Gaye, Fairbairn, and Gonzalez are out there?

55 yarder was blocked (forgivable) 46 yarder was pushed badly and I did not see the MXP. It wasn't the difference in my game thanks to Philly D's 35pts against so not as irked as I could be.
I'm willing to call it a case of the yips at this point. He did get the opps including another 50+ try so I'm staying the course for now.

Dan Bailey into double digits back to back weeks and bye is on week 12. Vikings offense is stable and has friendly schedule.
Is he out of his 2 year funk? Back to being one of the most reliable kickers in the league?

I didn’t see if anyone had tonight’s kickers - I’ll check back through the topic tomorrow & figure out who won!

Not exactly a kicker question, but we don’t have a pinter thread here (for obvious reasons)...
Is Andy Lee expected to get the punting duties back this week, or is he still being supplanted by the rook that kicked when he was inactive? Got burned in my one punter-required league by Lee being active but only holding for field goals.
And it’s hard to get good punter newson fantasy sites. Figure the Shark Pool can come through though!

I think a pint after a round of golf is the perfect way to hang out and settle the bets, and I would be a regular contributor on that thread.

Wouldn't just using punt distance averages be a good guide for who to roster?

That's part of it, but also points for pinning the ball in close, so the punter's offense factors into it as well as raw leg strength.
It's kind of fun for a casual league, but I wouldnt want them in big money leagues.
Still nothing on Lee...Shark Pool letting me down.

As my teams keep renting and deciding upon kickers like Elliott, Bryant, Fairbairn, Gould, and whomever else, how come Zane Gonzalez is rated top 4 moving forward? Is he a good kicker, does the team stall, what up with ARI? Is there something I am missing here?

Footballguy
Move the ball yet woefully ineffective in the red zone through the first weeks of the season, including about four or five field goals against BAL.

Checking on kicker info on Matt Bryant, ATL. Got a roster alert he's been dropped by 5519 teams on Yahoo?
Currently have him as my starter. Don't know of any issues. That said, thinking of swapping him out for B. Maher @NYJ.
Fear ATL falls behind AZ and ATL forced to go for TDs.
rockaction
Footballguy
I love the way you're thinking, but I've watching AZ all year intently, and I can't see them putting anybody away. That's really my two cents, though, and could be wrong. Best of luck.
Team Smokin'
Footballguy
I am hearing ARI stalls near the redzone, therefore Gonzalez gets high marks. Perhaps this game allows for a lot of scoring opportunities and a FG fest? Maher is my next man up too. I don't know much about him.
rockaction
Footballguy
Quite possibly a game with a lot of FGs, but that's...who knows, really? Find a high scoring game or team and go with it.
As for Maher, he's missed a couple this year. Was a CFL kicker with around a 72-4% accuracy rating there. I was surprised Dallas signed him last year, though he performed well for the first 3/4 of the year last year. Now, I don't know. I'm a Jets homer and they stink, but they'll have Darnold back, which, while not like getting Mahomes back, is huge in comparison to what they were throwing out there.
Team Smokin'
Footballguy
Robbie Gould, SF - K, new snapper and holder? Do you think they got it down? Hmmmmm
For you guys with Matt Bryant on Yahoo, I'm hearing they've corrected this and he's back to normal and being projected for points. Is that correct?
SaintsInDome2006

I think Slye is hold worthy on the news Cam may sit permanently this year.
Team Smokin'
Footballguy
Boy Joe, Yahoo alert says 13,829 have dropped Bryant. That's what I am checking on. He's still projected for 8.57 points.
i think where this came from was Yahoo had him projected for zero points. And tons dropped him. Which triggered an alert.
Then they came back and projected points for him.
Stompin' Tom Connors
Footballguy
Thinking the exact same thing.
I don't like holding two kickers to cover for one's bye -- too much depth/lotto tickets to hold instead.
Slye may be worth it, though I wonder about the two FGs missed today -- one from 40+, the other from 50+. Makes me wonder if there is some variability building in his game.
SaintsInDome2006
Footballguy
In case you don't know, one was a free kick from very very long, but yeah he has been missing...
They play have 3 dome games left - NO, ATL and IND the next to last game of the year. Plus, some good matchups at home, TEN, ATL WAS. In my 16-team league, I may pick him up during his bye next week.
Ray Barboni
Footballguy
Picked up Fairbairn (sp?) with the thought he’d get plenty of opportunity in the shootout.
Kept Slye, but benched him.
Now I’m going to loose because of the last minute kicker swap.
Now I’m stupid enough to have to hold Slye, through the bye - after benching him. And loosing because I did that.
kickers are fun
ConnSKINS26
Footballguy
Didn't even know people rostered multiple kickers, if you bench a K when he's not even on his bye what's the point
Depends on the size of the league and the rules. My league is 16 teams, you can't pick up a player after dropping him and there is a cost. With byes and weather concerns, by the end of the drop/add period in early December, I expect 5 or 6 teams in my league to have 2 kicker.
Stompin' Tom Connors
Footballguy
Outside of league rules like the ones @SoBeDad mentions, not sure there is a point.
How do you feel about rostering a kicker on a bye (as opposed to just streaming from there) -- and if you are fine with it, which Ks this year would you hold through their byes?
Kickers tend to be interchangeable and not have wide spreads between them, but this year, I might hold Greg the Leg. My league scoring (slight bonus for distance) he's just 5 points ahead of #2, and Top 9 kickers -- including 2 on the wire right now -- are within 12.
Debating the value of holding Slye, not sure if there is one looking at it from a total points perspective. Looking for other perspectives, including ones done by PPG.
ConnSKINS26
Footballguy
I wouldn't hold a kicker through a bye, personally. Most of my leagues have ditched kickers entirely the last few years.
Don Hutson
Footballguy
I've been waiting my whole life to see a free kick. I still haven't seen one. I'm surprised that 2 or 3 aren't attempted every year.

I bet there is a significant percentage of head coaches in the NFL that don’t even know it’s a thing.

In the most bizarre experience of my 20+ years playing FF, my kicker threw an interception (-3)....to my defensive lineman (+5)....for A net positive of +2 points.Elliot threw an interception
on another note, in the MNF Niners/Browns topic I got a little too excited (& buzzed) what with my team winning, and when criticizing Booger for well, being Booger, I used a masked swear-word.
For my transgression I received a 6-day + 2 hour suspension. Maybe the mod thought I was directing it at a member rather than commenting on Booger’s commentary, but that doesn’t really matter.
It was my bad for violating that rule & i’d like to first apologize to @Joe Bryant, and also to the rest of the board community. It happened to be the week of the 1st K contest of the year & results/winner announcement were delayed as a result of my stupidity.
I’ll try be, as Joe often says, “way cooler” in the future.
i will also get to the K contest results today to figure out a winner once I’ve got my orders filled & deliveries made - once again, my apologies for the delay, and to the entire community for my transgression.
Go Niners,
Scott
