ACC Fantasy Position Rankings: Kickers And DEF/ST

ACC News

We’re ranking the best ACC players at each position according to their fantasy football value.

The last remaining positions are kicker and defense/special teams. We’re not going to go into much detail here, but we’ll rank each team’s kicker and each team’s defense from 1-through-15.

Alongside each item is a number. That number represents Fantasy Points Per Game, which was calculated using 2013’s statistics.

KICKERS

Kickers receive one point for an extra point, three points for a field goal up to 39 yards, four points for a field goal 40-49 yards and five points for a field goal 50 yards or longer. They also lose a point for a missed extra point or a missed field goal of any length.
