The league will love you for giving them someone to target for their trash talk. Put these 3 tips in your game plan and you can avoid this humiliation.First of all, never draft a kicker until at least the last two or three rounds. Typically, your kicker should be your last pick.

Drafting a kicker in the third or fourth round will bring on the laughter from the rest of the league, and likely ruin your chances of becoming a champion.Your kicker is important, but you'll average more points drafting another runningback or tightend than you will loading up on kickers. Keep the kicker picks for the later rounds and boost the rest of your roster in the early draft picks.The second tip on the list involve your kicker choice too. Never draft more than one kicker. This is a sure sign that either the person is new to fantasy football or they likely just aren't very good at it. There will be plenty of kickers in the free agent pool for you to pick up all...more
