Fantasy Football Week 17 Rankings: K

Throw a dart at a name on the wall and insert that kicker into your lineup. Seriously, I mean it. It's Week 17 and if we haven't figured out the musical chairs of leading kickers by now, I'm afraid it's too late. There's no perfect science to predicting what a kicker will produce for you on any given Sunday. However, what we do know is that it's the championship and you need a kicker that won't "kill" you and one that will at least have chances to give you a few points.

That's really all you can shoot for, best-case scenario. If you're over-thinking who's starting at kicker for your championship game, you're probably screwed anyway. Remember, all you need are opportunities and just a few points. Don't take the guy playing in the snow who may not even get a chance to kick or will most likely drop an 0-3 day on FG attempts. Who is the safe play this weekend? Why not Matt Bryant? He's playing in a dome against the worst team in the NFL. Sounds like plenty of chances and no "real" threat of him sabotaging your season.

As for the rest of the ranks..
