Yes, I am writing about kickers. Well, not really. I’m just listing them so you don’t have to really think about it too much when you are drafting your dynasty team. Kickers can play until they’re Morten Anderson old, so age isn’t a huge concern, but it is a bit of one. Also, the year to year leader board changes so much for kickers that it’s almost impossible to think dynasty type long term. I can’t bring myself to write blurbs about kickers, but I might sprinkle a few in there for seasoning.
