    The key with kickers is twofold:
    1) Get somebody proven, like a Gostkowski, Zuerlein, Matt Bryant, etc.
    2) More importantly, get somebody with an offense that's good but not great. You want teams that bog down around the 20-25 yard line, not the guy for the team that scores a touchdown every other possession. Titans kickers, regardless of who they are, have traditionally been great for this.

    I don't count Zuerlein in that category (note my previous post). Succop started this year as proof positive of your last point, though he has sadly tailed off (I have him, based on largely on your exact premise).

    I got on Zuerlein early and have stuck with him the whole way. He's the kicker on all three of my fantasy teams. He's been gold. I count on double digits from him every week.

    All three of my teams are in the playoffs. I have Rodgers on two of them. Case Keenum has been my starter on both of them and has been rock solid. I am honestly wavering on whether to start Rodgers over Keenum this week. It's his first game back and the Panthers are a tough matchup.

    And Keenum is facing a Bengals team that made the Bears look like the Patriots.

    Exactly.

    But we all know the dilemma. You start Keenum over Rodgers and Keenum reverts, you'll be kicking yourself for months.

    Robert Woods at Tennessee or Keelan Cole at San Francisco?

    I like Woods - especially if PPR.

    I had the number one team all year - most points by a long shot and I put up a stinker last week. I looked like a genius sitting AJ Green with Antonio Brown, Adam Thielen, and Doug Baldwin all going - I had Robert Woods on the bench and my WRs all year were great. Not last week. Still put up solid numbers, but my opponent - the guy who has won the last three years and couldn't name more than three players on each team; just a FF podcast/website guy - put up big numbers.
    Now I'm playing for third place and so far, not so good. Picked up Gilisee - hopefully he gets some short yardage carries near the goal line.

    I have Gurley going today. Things are looking pretty good.

    Won my fantasy finals by 60 points. If I ever expanded by family, my next son might be named after Todd Gurley

    Anyone else get their doors blown off by Gurley? I went into my final relying on the Panthers - Cam/Olsen/McCaffrey - and buddy had Gurley and the Panthers D.

    Final was over before halftime of the 1 pms. I didn't even get to enjoy that Hopkins catch last night.
