To me, ranking kickers is height of rampant speculation because they have the least amount of control their production of any fantasy position you will start.

I wrote this article last year explaining why it is misguided to draft a kicker in any round other than the last one of your draft. The best advice is to draft a kicker from a high octane offense that kicks indoors. That’s all you can really do because it is a total crap shoot.
