How much did a questionable tag hurt Sebastian Janikowski (11) in this week's rankings? Kyle Terada-US PRESSWIRE
If you end up week one in a close fantasy football contest, it may be that last-round flier of a kicker you took that decides the game. Kickers are notoriously unpredictable, but four of our Fantasy CPR staff took at crack at the top 10 rankings for week one.
Here’s our composite rankings of the kickers. My rankings are in the ZT column, and I was priveleged to be joined by Matthew Tuckness (MT), Steve Copps (SC), and Jeffrey Littrell (JL). The rankings are averaged together to come up with a solid composite ranking which should give you an idea of how matchups and momentum will impact this week’s points. NR stands for not rated and counts as a fifteenth ranking in the composite.

I'm an avid Boston sports fan and fantasy sports enthusiast. When I'm not blogging, I serve as Audio and Video producer as well as High School History teacher at Harvest Ministries on the island of Guam. The 14-hour time difference can make things challenging, but I'll play any fantasy sports just about anytime I can.
