Picking which kicker to start can seem like the least fun part of fantasy football.
However, this is where your other league mates are going to be lazy and not focus enough attention.
Use this to your advantage and make sure that you have the best possible kicker in your lineup every week.
To help you out, I put together this summary of our top 10 ranked kickers for week 5.
