Free Fantasy Football Player Rankings: Kickers

DO NOT waste a draft pick on a backup kicker. Use one of your last three picks to take a starting kicker, its much more important to pad your roster with an additional Running Back or Wide Reciever.

It is crazy to take a kicker anywhere in the first ten rounds. People seem to be much worse at drafting a defense really really early, but you certainly still see people taking kickers way to early.
