Why not limit randomness by eliminating running backs as well? You get my point.
No, I don't. (Although I do agree to each their own, if you like kickers, I got no problem.) You can at least make an educated guess at each other skill position. You're not going to start Stevan Ridley over Jamaal Charles. Why? Because we have metrics, stats, matchups, etc to help inform us, that clearly, Charles is the better option. Or even picking between two similar players at their positions. You can research and make the best choice, even if it doens't work out, there was reasons and facts behind your methods.
With kickers we have absolutely NO clue. There are 32 kickers every week that could finish first or last in scoring that week. We have no way of even making an educated guess. At least to the point, you can with other positions.
But as we said, to each their own, I'm not personally a fan of kickers, but I'm not going to quit/ not a join a league because of it. Just in my "perfect" fantasy football world, the kciker would be replaced with another Flex spot.

I've come to terms that educated guesses in fantasy football means little to nothing. It's no more comforting making an sound logical decision only to have it completely go the other way... which happens all the time. I don't find kickers any more random than any other position which is where we differ.
You can pencil in a kicker for 6-8 points a week. Am I wrong to believe that? So wouldn't that make them pretty consistent as opposed to being random. Occasionally you've have a kicker go off, but it's not a common occurrence a kicker goes for 20 points. And when they do, it's either glorious or gut wrenching depending on which end you're on... which makes it more fun and exciting imo.
Randomness is the epitome of fantasy football. Why limit what it's all about?
