In my fantasy playing experience, kickers make up about 10%, if not more, of everyone's total points for the week. That is putting 10% of your reputation in the hands of weenie kids who probably wear glasses and LARP in their free time. Kickers are not respected by the NFL community, so why are they in fantasy? If a stupid soccer player could do your job, then you shouldn't be on a fantasy FOOTBALL team. The other issue with kickers is their randomness. Because of this no one drafts kickers until the last round of drafts because they are so random and any kicker is basically as good as any other - it just comes down to opportunity. Losing a match-up because of your kicker doing terrible or your opponent's kicker going crazy is maddening. Leaving your team to chance just doesn't make good sense.
With that said, why don't we eliminate kickers from fantasy football. They do no good except expose their owners for being lucky or unlucky. Take the chance out of fantasy and keep building a moderate team an actual skill.
