If you're in a league that uses kickers, you probably already know not to take one before the end of the draft. However, there's one player I believe is worth breaking that rule and taking one round earlier.

Brandon Aubrey has kicked for the Cowboys for two seasons. In the first, he led all Fantasy kickers by a wide margin, with the gap between him and the kicker who finished second less than the one between the second-leading scorer and No. 22. In his second season, he scored one more point in Fantasy but saw the rest of the league fare much better, with Chris Boswell actually beating him out for the top spot at the position while two other kickers finished "only" 10 points behind Aubrey. The Cowboys have had all the confidence in the world bringing Aubrey out once they get to midfield, and that shouldn't change under Brian Schottenheimer.
