    D.Bailey or J.Tucker

    I currently have D.Bailey and he hasn't had much production.

    J.Tucker is leading all Kickers through Week 2, and seems to have range. Two 50+ FG's, and 3 40+ FG's.

    I really want to wait out to Week 5, when D.Bailey goes on BYE week, and pick up J.Tucker then. I just don't think he will last that long. The M.Prater owner might want a fresh leg.

    I lead my league in scoring, blowouts in both Week 1 and 2, and have got very little at the Kicker position. Getting 1 point in blowout weeks doesn't matter, but when things are close, that sh!t could lose you a match-up.

    I know. I know. It's a Kicker.

    Thoughts?

    I'm personally on the tucker train. I think the offense will score and like you said he has the range.

    the cowboys did have a couple of tough road matchups, so its tough to say really. i think they will score a lot on tampa (well maybe wishful thinking, since i have romo and austin ) but i dont see why not go for it, a kicker is really just a crap shoot...very tough to accurately predict who will be the best kicker on any given week...it really comes down to, will the ravens be more productive on offense vs. the pats? or will the cowboys be more productive on offense vs. tampa?

    Well another team made my decision. Someone picked up J.Tucker early this morning. So I'm still rolling with D.Bailey.

    onlooker I'm in the same position as you, and I'm trying to get Tucker of FA. Have to wait 'till the AM wee hours to see if I get him. He's my #1 priority lol

    Is it me, or is a 50 yarder almost a cake-walk for most kickers nowadays. I remember back when a 50 yard FG was a tough thing. After watching these first couple weeks, it seems like kickers are hitting the back of the net on 54 yard kicks.

    And yes Zurlein is a beast. Rams offense can march down field, but they tend to struggle in the redzone.

    D.Bailey outscored all the available Kickers mentioned here, and I'm glad I gave him another chance.
