No more K & DEF, should I replace them with another position?

So I just got it passed this year, no more DEF or Ks. That leaves us with 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, and FLEX (RB, WR, or TE).

My question is, should I add another flex or position(s) or stand pat at what I have?

Well that's dumb, might as well make a missed XP worth 10 points.

That was probably funnier in your head.

K & DEF have the smallest variation from first to last yet have more random outliers in really high scoring. So basically its a lot of luck I'm taking out.

They're also part of football as well and count for something. Especially when you're behind a few points and Gostkowski lines up for 54 yarder to win the game.

So are OL, punters, KR, PR, long snappers, referees, and coaches.

The discussion isn't should I keep them. K & DEF are gone. The discussion is should I add to the line up since now there are only 7 starters.

Why does it matter to you what we think? Really, just do what you feel.

It really isn't fantasy without kickers or defenses.

Such a weird angry reaction.

Its actually not unheard of and becoming more common.

I asked because I was considering adding something, but I was unsure. Just looking for opinions on it. Based on these responses, I think I'll do the opposite of whatever yall think.

Honestly, I wish my leagues would do away w K and DEF.

I'd go 3 WR and an extra flex (RB/WR/TE)

oh... you dropped the kicker too.

I can understand getting rid of the K. That's the most random and useless position in FF. There is no telling how one will do, no real stats, no matchup preferences, etc.

As far as D goes, I think its a good FF roster spot. If you can find that "sleeper" D (KC in 2013, CIN 2013, SEA 2012) it can really pay dividends.

I can understand the reasoning for keeping DEF. Fair argument. It just seems like huge random weeks happen with a bunch of TDs or turnovers. Minimizing their points was something I considered as well.

I get this, but you know how many times whether I win or lose comes down to a made or miss FG on Monday night? And watching whether the offense reaches a certain yard line to depend how many points the kick is.

Might as well make the extra flex position a white player to make it more interesting during the draft

I think this would be pretty funny if it actually happened. Be a good experiment. Woodhead and Riley's ADP would sky rocket.
