You can’t underestimate the value of having a good kicker because they can be the difference between winning and losing in any fantasy league. There are several good kickers available in your fantasy draft this summer and you should not overlook them when you are drafting. They can really help you out during the season.
The following is a look at the top five kickers available in your fantasy football league. There is also a quick look at five other kickers that you might be interested in as you draft your fantasy team.
1. Rob Bironas-Tennessee Titans-Bironas has been dead on for the past couple seasons and is one of fantasy football’s most productive kickers. He should be the first kicker selected in most fantasy drafts.
2. Josh Brown-St. Louis Rams-If the Rams can get their offense back on track, there could be a lot of scoring opportunities for Brown who is one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL.
3. Stephen Gotskowski-New England Patriots-With the NFL’s scoring machine sure to get back on track this season, Gotskowski should have a big season and should easily be the third placekicker selected in your fantasy draft.
4. Robbie Gould-Chicago Bears-Gould is one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL and with an offense that could either be hot (with Jay Cutler now at quarterback) and he’s usually money when it comes to making field goals.
5. Adam Vinatieri-Indianapolis Colts-The Colts should have the same opportunistic offense allowing Vinatieri plenty of opportunities to kick field goals and extra points. A great pickup if you can get him.
Here are five other kickers that you might be interested in during your fantasy football draft:
1. Kris Brown-Pittsburgh Steelers-The Steelers are sure to be kicking a lot of field goals once again this season making Brown, one of the more accurate kickers in the NFL, a high choice on many fantasy football draft boards.
2. Shayne Graham-Cincinnati Bengals-Continuing on with some of the more accurate kickers in the NFL, Graham is one of the better kickers in the NFL and has had several opportunities to kick and make a significant amount of field goals this season.
3. Jason Hansen-Detroit Lions-The Lions may not be the best team in the NFL but they have one of the better kickers in the NFL in Hansen. Hansen is reliable and could earn you some serious fantasy points this season.
4. Ryan Longwell-Minnesota Vikings-The NFC North has some good kickers and the Viking’s Longwell is another good kicker who can make those clutch field goals and nail extra points. He’s definitely worth looking at in your fantasy draft.
5. Neil Rackers-Arizona Cardinals-Rackers was once one of the top kickers in the NFL but has slid a little bit in terms of accuracy. Still, with the scoring machine that is the Arizona Cardinals, Rackers should get plenty of opportunities and should be someone that gets selected as a primary option at kicker in many fantasy drafts.
