Fantasy Kicker Rankings

Lets be honest, kickers will not win or lose you a fantasy season, if you get upset because you lose a week because your kicker only put up 2 points well then your an ass. Just draft a kicker based on which teams you think are going to score a lot of points. And really there is no need to jump out and rush to get a kicker. It's better to have solid backups for when your players get injured than the #1 kicker in fantasy. Hell they really don't even dserve pictures.

1. Adam Vinatieri - 8th Round - He's really the no-brainer #1 kicker. First of all he's an outstanding pro bowl caliber kicker, secondly he's on a team that will score a boatload of points.

2. Shayne Graham - 9th Round - The Bengals will obviously score a ton of points plus he's a red-head and the automatically shoots himself up a few spots.

3. Neil Rackers - 9th Round - The Cards have a ton of offensive weapons and Rackers put up mucho points last year, really no reason to think otherwise.

4. Josh Brown - 10th Round - 4 Games against the Cards and 49ers equals lots of points for the Seahawks.

5. Jeff Wilkins - 10th Round - Look at me I also have 4 games versus the Cards and 49ers.

6. Lawrence Tynes - Last Round - The Chiefs have been an offensive juggernaut ever since the takeover of Vermeil, but Herm's a lieing douchebag so I'm not going to draft any Chiefs.

7. John Carney - Last Round - Maybe I'm the only Saint believer on the planet but they have always had offensive weapons, now they have a brighter quarterback and the most dynamic rookie offensive weapon in decades.

8. Mike Vanderjagt - Last Round - Someone is probably going to snatch him up well before the guys listed above are selected, I just don't expect the Cowboys to score as many points as the teams listed above, and his better kicking skills will not be that valuable.

9. Jason Elam - Last Round - The benefit of Elam is that he kicks in the high altitude and can make long field goals. However, the Broncos offense is a bit questionable with Mike Bell at the running back helm.

10. Jay Feeley - Last Round - The Gmen should score a solid amount of points despite their difficult schedule. Just make sure you have him on the bench when they play in Seattle.

11. Nate Kaeding - Last Round - The defenses in the AFC West are not the best and if Philip Rivers clicks like I think he will than Kaeding will be a good option at the kicker spot, although LT never fails to get into the end zone.

12. John Casey - Last Round - A reliable long time employed kicker, not great at the long kicks but the Panthers should score a decent amount of points despite their tough division.

13. Jeff Reed - Last Round - The Steelers scored a lot of points in the playoffs and without the Bus they could possibly struggle at the goalline and that would result in several chip shot field goals.

14. Olindo Mare - Last Round - The AFC East has morphed from the best division in football to a weaker division the Dolphins have the potential to be the best offense in that division and thus score the most points for their kicker.

15. David Akers - Last Round - Probably the last kicker thats really worth drafting, a veteran who was injured last year and could return to form this year.

Token Jet - Mike Nugent - Ya I don't expect the Jets to score a ton of points but in the slim opportunities he should be good. As much as I would like to advise taking Jets, it's really really hard to.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
