Until the bye weeks start, ranking kickers is probably not that useful of an exercise, unless you’ve got a totally unreliable one, or one that went down with injury. Otherwise, you’re probably sticking with the one kicker you keep on the roster. But we like to be complete at SB Nation fantasy football, so we’re posting the projections anyway.
