Usually, everyone hates fantasy football kickers, but this year at FanSided we’re flipping that up and going with a league where kickers can truly be the stars. To ensure no quarterback or running back steals the spotlight, we got rid of them entirely going with just fantasy football kickers as the only players in our league.

For a refresher on the specific rules and roster setup, check out this post from the beginning of the season which also explains who all the players in the league are. The ten teams are divided into two divisions with myself, Zachary Best, Patrick Allen, Mike Dyce, and new owner Tyler Brooke in the East. In the West are Adam Best, Matt Verderame, Matt Blake, Mark Carman, and Josh Hill. The top four teams make the playoffs, and the races are starting to crystalize now that we are six weeks into the season. The top four teams will play a two-week semi-final in weeks 14-15 and a two-week final in weeks 16-17.

At FanSided, we have plenty more “traditional” fantasy football coverage throughout the week (which you can find in the box above). Each week, this fantasy football kickers league is probably the only league where every single kick and every single score matters. Almost every kicker in the NFL is owned by someone in the league. Each week, it’s extremely easy to track since each team just has two starters. The other benefit to the league is that it takes minimal time each week to set your two-man lineup.

We decided to make the league scoring even more exciting at the beginning of the year by penalizing a team three points for a missed XP. The four-point swing when a kicker fails to connect on an extra point can make all the difference between winning and losing on a weekly basis.

Let’s take a look at the scoreboard from Week 6 in our fantasy football kickers league to see which of our owners came out on the winning side and they we’ll take a look ahead at who is facing off in Week 7,
