Should I Draft Kicker Or Defense First?
In most standard fantasy football drafts, neither position should be selected before the final rounds. If you must prioritize one, a defense with a favorable early schedule typically offers more upside, while a kicker on a high-scoring offense provides a steadier floor. The better move is usually to draft neither first, instead adding skill-position depth and streaming both spots during the season. Consider your league’s roster rules, scoring settings, and waiver-wire activity before deciding.
