How many of you drafted Shaun Suisham as your kicker?

Show of hands please.

Nobody? Come on...nobody cried during Old Yeller?

I always wait until the last round to get a kicker. I was down to Akers or Suisham. Since Akers has been aroung a while, I took him. But if Sean shows that he can kick (like I think he will), I will be picking him up for week 4 when Akers is off.

I took Suisham in round 13. He's going to be my opening day kicker.

I drafted Shaun as my backup kicker in both leagues but I think he could be a real fantasy sleeper this season. Strong leg for an offense that looks like it may have a tendency to bog down.

8) I picked him. My league knows I'm a BG homer. My league also punishes kickers who miss extra points. I'm pretty confident that the NCAA leading in PATs isn't going to fail me.

:cry: I even took Charles Sharon as my last pick. I really thought he would have made the Jaguars opening day roster. Now, I'm rooting for one of their receivers to sprain an ankle or knee.
Go Falcons!

On one of my teams I picked Shaun, Chuck, and PJ as my last three picks, they were the only picks I actually made

Yes. 14th round. Won't see much action on my team as he is behind Matt Stover.

My wife drafted Shaun for her team. I have never done fantasy football. Shaun will have a great year. The Redskins offense will not score a lot of TDs. Shaun should get a lot of chances.

I drafted him in one of my leagues, I did not draft him in the Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba league. The league I took him in was a 12 team league. I waited till the last round to grab my kicker, he was still around so I took him. If my team comes down to the kicker the season is over anyways.

Plus his wife is really hot ;)

Thanks to me Suisham is now a famous name in our league as I drafted him his first year in the NFL. (Was that last year, seems like 2 years ago?)

One year I drafted an all MAC team after a few "warm-up" sodas with my primary league. Let's just say I came in last.

I picked up Shaun late last season. This year I wanted to draft him but I decided I could pick him up later in the season if my other kicker doesn't work out.

In my fantasy league, we have a Developmental Roster where we can stock young players. I made Cole Magner famous among my fellow fantasy players a few years back when I drafted him, so much so that a number of team owners congratulated me on being great scout of Arena League talent this year when the Destroyers made their run. I also drafted Omar two years ago and drafted Chuck this year, but neither made the opening day roster so I released them both before each season.

Didn't Magner make the Falcons roster? now the question is, who will throw to him...

I don't think Magner was even in camp with anyone this year. He played for the Columbus Destroyers of the Arena League this past year...and I think caught a TD in the championship game.
