(New England Patriots)
Fantasy football season is right around the corner and it is never too soon to gather as much valuable data as possible. Each person, stat or edge that you can find will go a long way in determining who you should draft and how to structure you team in hopes of winning the 2015 championship.
Below is my breakdown of who I believe will be the top fantasy kickers for the 2015 season. Unlike other articles there is no further breakdown other than the rankings of the kickers.
The kickers receive five points for each field goal over 50 yards, four points for each field goal over 40 yards, three points for all field goals 39 yards or less, one point for each made extra point and two points for each two point conversion. They lose two points for each missed field goal or extra point under 39 yards and one point for each field goal missed from 40 yards or greater. Obviously much of this data is transferable to numerous different league configurations but I wanted to ensure clarity up front. Let’s get to it and see how the breakdown begins.
