Call me Caitlyn but I think kicker is going to be a position that can really mess with some people. Say you are in a position to take the lead and possibly beat your opponent by scoring a TD. Well so and so just busted out a TD to just put your team over the top. With the new XP rule we have seen quite a few kickers miss already. Then one kick misses and then there goes your lead. We seen two trades today for kickers. Hell some teams may just have a good system going on and not elect to kick the XP and constantly go for two in the future. I can see some angry people in fantasy due to kickers in the future. With those two trades it kind of makes me wonder how important are teams wanting a good fundamental kicker on their squad. Then again why would the teams trade them vice versa?
Drafting kicker are not as easy as they use to be. Have to take the HC into consideration now. I would figure Chip Kelly would be the coach least likely to kick a PAT.
And even who the QB is will be a factor. I would trust a Peyton, Rodgers, Brady, Wilson or Brees more than some other QBs.
