The Most Interchangeable Part

As any fantasy football player knows, there are 2 ironclad rules when it comes to kickers:
1. Don't take one until the final round of your draft. (That's the rule you'll read in every fantasy preview magazine, right before you see the magazine's experts break that rule in their mock draft.)

2. If your kicker has a bye week, or even a bad week, dump him and pick up a new one.

With that in mind, we have a second waiver wire poll to go with the Brandon Stokley and team devotion ones. It's time to say farewell to Nick Folk and pick up a new kicker. Here are the nominees.

Matt Prater, Denver Broncos. His team may wear ugly uniforms, but Prater is beautiful to fantasy owners. He ranks fourth among kickers with an average of 8.2 fantasy points a game.

Jason Hanson, Detroit Lions. His team can be as ugly as the Broncos uniforms at times, but Hanson is right behind Prater in production, ranking fifth with an average of 8 points a game.

Olindo Mare, Seattle Seahawks. T.J. Houshmandzadeh isn't the only Seahawk happy about Matt Hasselbeck's return from injury. Mare's 12 points this past Sunday leaves him sixth among kickers with an average of 7.6 points a game.

Those are the choices. This poll, like the Brandon Stokley one, will close Wednesday night. Thanks for voting.

  1. I just picked up Prater for my fantasy team. I couldn't believe he was available when I saw he was 4th in points.
