lickin_starfish 1,491 Posted October 10, 2008 Would you go 1 week without a kicker because you didn't want to drop any of your players to the waiver wire? That is what I am facing this week. I have a trade pending that will free up a spot on my roster, but it is not in effect until week 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lickin_starfish 1,491 Posted October 10, 2008 I licked one once, it was kind of musky and gritty. I think it would have been better fresh from the shower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a trade pending that will free up a spot on my roster, but it is not in effect until week 7. I know your situation because I have been there. I have gone without K, TE, and Def in the past because I didn't have anyone to drop and I was too high on the WW to get them back. If this is the case you probably have a pretty good roster and can withstand the lose of 5-10 points. That is what you have to determine. I am guessing your kicker is Reed or Lindell, in the one league I checked both were dropped this week. I would not keep either unless I knew I didn't need their 8.8 points per game this week.

Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted October 11, 2008 If Winslow is a no go for Monday night, I've gotta roll without a TE. Backing up Westy, Boldin, and TENN DEF in a league with limited roster spots. Gonna miss the points but can't drop anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jman316 0 Posted October 11, 2008 I have gone most of a season without a kicker before. You've also gone years without a worthwhile post, so what's your point? I love ya Pimptadddy, but going without a kicker's 5-10 points a week is freakin' retarded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jman316 0 Posted October 11, 2008 Fair enough, but if you ever lost by a few points, would really it be worth having a 6th or 7th RB on the bench? I don't understand the people who carry a backup kicker, but having an empty roster spot seems like asking for trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't understand the people who carry a backup kicker, but having an empty roster spot seems like asking for trouble. I made the playoffs with that team. I only did it because my team was so stacked and I eventually traded the extra back for a top kicker to use during the late season and playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't understand the people who carry a backup kicker, but having an empty roster spot seems like asking for trouble. When I see a team with two kickers on their roster I know they are not going to make the playoffs. Two kickers on a roster is a sign that the owner does not know what they are doing.

Antiramie 50 Posted October 11, 2008 Any fantasy league where the bench isn't deep enough to accommodate droppable players is a little crazy. Even if your bench is that "stacked", I'd find one way or another to not have any empty roster slot. I never take for granted that the remainder of my team is good enough to win without a DEF or K, no matter how bad the opposition is. Anything can happen any given week and not having all roster spots filled is just wreckless. Kickers and D/ST are the most undervalued positions in fantasy, yet they are most often the easiest to obtain and predict (at least for me). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
