For a long time, kicker has been one of the more difficult and frustrating positions to find a reliable, consistent starter. Some weeks you get 12 points, but when you need it most they net you 2. For these reasons, I've noticed a lot of leagues are doing away with the kicker altogether.
So where does that leave us?
Do we need the kicker at all? Do you like the unpredictable nature of the position? Should we adjust the scoring? I've seen some leagues award the same amount of points for XPs as you would for FGs up to 49 yards, with a slight bonus for 50+ yarders. Considering the extended length of the extra point, this may not be a bad idea.
What are your thoughts? Should they stay or should they go?

I say keep it as it is. Yes, it can be a total shit show, but when you've got a weak offense that you know can move the ball down the field but not score, you can plan for a strategical kicker.
They do have a randomness to them, but much of the time, FF is luck unless you go total points. Keep kickers as is. I like increasing point totals per 10 pts of yardage.

I like kickers. They're pretty silly, but it seems like a classic part of fantasy football.

This is the only dynasty league I'm in with a kicker, I don't care for them. But I don't care so much to want them removed, I'll just throw one in my starting lineup each week and hope he doesn't miss a PAT

How would you guys feel about fractional kicker scoring? Fleaflicker allows us to assign a base score (3 points per FG), and then add on bonus points depending on distance. The rules would look like this: 3 points per FG made 0.1 point for every 1 yard covered after yard 30 So a 39 yard field goal would be: 3 points (base score) + 0.9 (0.1 for every yard past the 30) = 3.9 points. No more cursing the offense when they cross from 50 yard FG range into the 40 yard range All field goals 30 yards and in would be worth 3 points. Does that sound like something you guys would be interested in?
