FFB's #1 Kicker in Week 1
It’s Week 1 and Fantasy Football Brother’s gives you the tools necessary to make the most informed lineup decisions in your league. Today we take a look at kickers who hold the most value in Week 1.
The rules don’t change when it comes to finding a solid kicker. Fantasy owner’s should look for one that kicks in a nice environment (warm weather or dome) and plays for a potent offensive team that will give them chances to put points on the board.
Another rule of thumb for fantasy owner’s in case you forgot. You should only be carrying one kicker on your roster. Kicker’s are known to get the shanks and will suffer through rough periods.
Owner’s should use bye week fillers when their kicker has a bye week. That is the beauty of drafting Mason Crosby, Garrett Hartley, Sebastian Janikowski, or Nate Kaeding as all their bye weeks fall in Week 10. What does that mean to you the fantasy owner? It means you don’t have to worry about making a move with your kicker until Week 10, which is peace of mind to some.
