Oh, others will try to tell you there’s a strategy involved in picking the right kicker. “You want a guy with a good leg who plays in a dome on a good-but-not-great offense that stalls out at the 30.” Gee, thanks. That’s helpful. Trying to predict which offenses will consistently stall at the 30-yard line is a fool’s errand, and ultimately, the guys on great offenses do pretty well unless they’re inaccurate. And don’t kid yourself – PATs can add up, too.

If you can find a reasonably accurate kicker who’s shown the ability to hit five-plus 50-yarders in the past, you’re probably fine. The dome thing is a nice bonus, especially in the fantasy playoffs, but it’s not a requirement. Every kicker in the NFL can hit long field goals, even in shaky weather. You have enough to worry about with other positions, so devote no more than two minutes to thinking about this one. In fact, if you’ve read this far, you’ve already thought about it too much.
