There is always that one fantasy football leaguemate that takes the top overall kicker way too early. Don't let that be you.
The entire fantasy space agrees that if your league has kickers, take one with the last pick. The difference between the K1 and K13 was 3.1 fantasy points per game in 2024.
If you can get Brandon Aubrey for $1 then by all means take him. But with no exaggeration, if he costs $2, don't waste your budget.
Kickers can have big weeks, but there is zero reason or logic behind taking one before another QB or adding more skill position players for more depth.
