2007 Fantasy Football Kicker Busts

Last week we spent some time telling you about some kickers who should surprise this year. For this post the subject is kickers once again. However, this time we are going to focus on a few that you might as well forget about soon after reading their names on these pages. In fact, if you are lucky, this is the last time you will probably ever read their names again in 2007.

Why you say?

Because outside of being a fantasy football kicker, these guys are something much, much further down on the fantasy football food chain, they are fantasy football kickers who we think will be of no value to your team in 2007.

Ranking System: The higher the "Bring out the Pepto" ranking, the more likely a player is to bust.

Jay Feely - Miami Dolphins

If you roll into the fantasy season thinking Mr. Feely will repeat his performance from last year, think again. The Bruno Boysdon't see this guy getting many opportunities with his new team. Their line is suspect and we don't forecast Trent Green stays upright enough to move the Dolphins into field goal range.

In 2006 he had a middle of the pack 23 field goals with a half way decent offense. In 2007 he will be lucky to reach 20 field goals which, if you where to rely on him, would need to choke down THREE BOTTLES OF PEPTO.

Ranked 23rd in the Bruno Boys Fantasy Football Draft Cheat Sheet, stay away from Feeley. He was average in New York, and now with a unreliable Dolphins offense, he will lack kicking chances.

Justin Medlock - Kansas City Chiefs

Once upon a time having the Kansas City Chiefs kicker was a pretty darn good thing. That was when they were putting points up at will. Now they don't know who's gonna be throwing the rock (or are capable), Larry Johnson hasn't showed up yet and Medlock is a rookie. Now, we are sure Medlock has had his share of big kicks over at UCLA but does that really compare to the Black Hole? Or better yet, Denver in December? The Bruno Boys doubt it and that's why starting him would require the consumption of TWO BOTTLES OF PEPTO.

Ranked 26h in the Bruno Boys Fantasy Football Draft Cheat Sheet, Medlock isn't worthy of fantasy consideration. The Chiefs offense is average at best, and Medlock needs a year or two to get adjusted to life in the NFL.

Lawrence Tynes - New York Giants

Not only is Lawrence Tynes not part of a those old high powered Kansas City offense anymore but the guy only kicks at percentage of 77.4%. Not the kind of percentages you want your kicker to have when kicking in the blustery winds of the Meadowlands come winter. Also, the Bruno Boys are not so sure the New York Giants are going to have the field position or close enough games to warrant many attempts. Another suspect line combined with a poor defense will have them playing from behind and needing sixes not threes. ONE BOTTLES OF PEPTO please.

Ranked 18th in the Bruno Boys Fantasy Football Draft Cheat Sheet, if you draft Tynes, you might find yourself hitting the waiver wire sooner than later. Stay away from him, and grab a kicker that has friendlier confines than the Meadowlands.
