Sign me up for Jeff Wilkins. He hits 50-yarders and kicks inside for half the games.

A quick word on kickers: Don't take one until the final two rounds of the draft. Look at the point differential between Jeff Wilkins and the No. 17 guy on this list: Just 20 points. That's 1.25 points per week. I'd rather take a sleeper running back or receiver in the middle rounds.

Mr. Clutch was 9-of-11 from beyond 40 yards last year. That said, he hasn't notched a 50-yarder since 2002. His extra points, 40-yard accuracy and the fact that he plays indoors make up for it.
Projected Stats: 28-32 FG (0-1 50+). 42 XP.

Robbie Gould didn't attempt a 50-yarder in his second season, but he connected on 12-of-14 attempts from 40-49. Pretty solid. Gould may not win any beauty pageants, but he's an outstanding fantasy kicker because his offense has trouble getting into the end zone.

Kaeding has missed only 11 field goals in his entire NFL career, so he's dependable. However, he has just one attempt from beyond 50 yards since 2004.
Projected Stats: 24-28 FG (1-2 50+). 55 XP.

Josh Scobee had a breakout season in 2006, connecting on 14-of-19 attempts from beyond 40. He has three 50-yarders in three NFL seasons. Not a bad option in fantasy.
Projected Stats: 27-33 FG (1-2 50+). 40 XP.

Still one of the top kickers in the game.

Shayne Graham is reliable beyond 40, and he kicks tons of extra points.

An excellent kicker in fantasy football, Rian Lindell is 20-of-25 from beyond 40 yards the past two years, including 5-of-5 from 50-plus.

I like Josh Brown as a fantasy kicker because he gets a lot of opportunities to hit field goals from beyond 50 yards. He's nailed eight the past two seasons.

I think all the publicity got to Neil Rackers last year; he was only 8-of-17 from beyond 40 yards. Be careful if you draft him. Like baseball closers, kickers can be head cases.

A solid kicker despite his age (37). He hit a 51-yarder last year.

I have a feeling Jay Feely will get to kick tons of field goals, given that Miami's offense will undoubtedly have trouble getting into the end zone.

He's 37, but Jason Hanson still has a few solid seasons left in the tank. He has hit an average of 2.3 50-yard field goals the past four years.
Projected Stats: 25-30 FG (2-4 50+). 38 XP.

Rob Bironas only hit 22 field goals last year. Keep in mind that he was hindered by Kerry Collins and Vince Young's early growing pains. In December, Bironas was nailing about three kicks per game. He's also good for a 50-yarder or two per season.

Has an average of only five kicks from 40-49 the past three seasons. Heinz Field is not a friendly place for kickers.

Mike Nugent has become one of the top kickers in the game. He'll have more opportunities to hit from beyond 40 in 2006, based on probability alone.

His 23 attempted field goals in 2006 were a statistical anomaly. He's still one of the top kickers in the NFL.

There's rarely any bad weather in San Francisco, so you don't have to worry about that. Joe Nedney's extra-point attempts will undoubtedly increase this season.

John Kasay has hit at least three 50-yarders the past three seasons. There's not much more you can ask from your fantasy kicker.

Won't hit many 50-yarders, but he's very effective from 40-49. The fact that he'll be playing indoors only helps matters.

I have no doubt in my mind that Phil Dawson will rebound from a dreadful 2006 season. He was 27-of-29 in 2005.

Although Matt Bryant is known for the 62-yarder he hit against Philadelphia, he was just 5-of-9 from 40-49 yards last season. Bryant was, however, 10-of-11 from that distance in 2005.

Hasn't hit two or more 50-yarders in a single season since 2002. Didn't nail any last year. He did, however, have 11 from 40-49, which has to be a statistical anomaly.

"Sea Bass" is only 3-of-10 from beyond 50 yards the past two seasons. He hasn't hit better than 72 percent since 2004. There won't be many extra points either. I wouldn't take him.
