If you’ve played Fantasy Football with any level of competence, you know that Fantasy Football Rule #1 is: Don’t draft a kicker early! I mean, come on man, play smart. Yet every season I play in leagues where people are taking kickers as early as the 6th round of a 16 round draft. Other than wanting to give their money away, the explanation I commonly get is “I needed to fill out my starters before picking backups”. WHAT? Who said that? WHY???? And you wonder why you never win, start with drafting a kicker in the 6th or 8th round. I’ll get into the reasons in another post, but wanted to post about Exhibit A: Why you don’t take a kicker early.
Out for the season!
The only thing worse than taking a kicker is taking TWO kickers! If you play in a league where people willingly take kickers before the 15th round or who willingly take two kickers, I’d like to play in your league next year, please contact The Fantasy Sports Junkie.
