Alright, fam, real talk. We BEEN sleeping on kickers in fantasy football. :thinking::light_bulb: I mean, Justin Tucker literally won me my league last season. Why no love for the boot squad?

Bruh, facts tho. People think they can just snooze the kicker pick till the end round, but nah. Tucker averages like 10 points per game. Respect the leg! :leg::sparkles:

Let’s be real, it’s not about ignoring kickers; it’s about not knowing when to draft them. :woman_detective: Anyone got any stats on which round is optimal for selecting one?

SneakySleeper

I usually pick a kicker in the 8th round if I see a gem. :man_shrugging: Had Butker in 2021, and it was like printing W’s. #kickerlife

Underrated tip: Look for kickers in high-scoring offenses. More points = more attempts. Simple math, y’all. :fire::chart_increasing:

But fr, some leagues have kickers scoring weirdly low. Some don’t even bother with them, yo! Why the hate? :thinking:

StatKing

Here’s a myth to bust: Kickers are wildcard picks. FALSE. :stop_sign: Most top kickers are consistent. Tucker, Butker, Bass are all reliable. Numbers don’t lie.

I drafted a kicker last season with my last pick. Letting you all know, I was basically the clown of the league… until I wasn’t. :smirking_face::clown_face:

MemeMachine

People be saying, ‘kickers are useless,’ but they just don’t like that a kicker can have MVP status on game night. :high_voltage:

Strategy tip: Stream kickers based on matchups if no one bites early. Matchup against a weak D can mean extra points. :trophy:

Yo, kickers are like the cosmic background radiation of fantasy football. :alien::eyes: Always there, often overlooked, sometimes the key to unlocking the universe’s secrets… or just your league title.

LeaguesOfOurOwn

Not gonna lie, I’ve never drafted a kicker before round 12. Does that mean I’m missing out? :thinking: #FOMO

TacoTuesday

Drafting a kicker early feels like ordering tacos without salsa. Just doesn’t sit right. :rofl:

FantasyFiend

For real tho, don’t underestimate the psychological warfare of having a kicker drop a 15-point game on your opponent. It’s a mental KO. :brain::hammer:

KickItNick

Aiming for 100+ points from a kicker this season. Yes, I’m THAT serious. Bet against me if ya dare. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses::flexed_biceps:

Kickers are like the Lofi beats of fantasy football. Chill, consistent, always there to save your vibe. :musical_note:

Yo, after this thread, I’m def gonna rethink my kicker strategy. Who would’ve thought kickers would be the secret sauce? :joy::fire:
