If you’re looking for a different way to view the fantasy football week, check out our FanSided fantasy football league where we’ve switched things up by going with only one position. That’s right–we really do have an all-kickers fantasy league where ten members of the FanSided team show off how well they know their legs.

For a refresher on the specific rules and roster setup, check out this post where you can see what a draft looks like when even the Browns’ kicker matters (their first one anyway). We did a three-round, ten-person draft meaning we ended up 30 kickers deep making us one of the deepest-if not the only-kickers fantasy league.

While we have plenty of traditional fantasy football coverage throughout the week (which you can find in the box to the right), Our kickers fantasy league called FootSided is probably the only place where every single kick and every single score matters. Almost every kicker in the NFL is owned on a roster and it’s extremely easy to track since each team just has two starters. It takes minimal time each week and keeps even Thursday and Monday Night Football games interesting.

This week, things will be stretched even thinner as we hit the bye weeks. While this week is just the Packers and Eagles on the sidelines, things are sure to get interesting in the coming weeks as people have to navigate the perils of six-team bye weeks. We’re still waiting on one of our owners to solve a bye-week issue which will leave him a kicker short.

As predicted at the beginning of the season, missing extra points has proven deadly this season. Since a kicker misses the point for his missed XP and is penalized three points, it represents a four-loin swing when Brandon McManus gets blocked like he did on Sunday. That cost me my game, but more on that in a minute.

Let’s take a look at the scoreboard from Week 3 in our all-kickers league to see which of our owners came out on the winning side. While the NFL was full of upsets, we had one of our own as an undefeated team went down to a team that hadn’t won yet.
