A kicker, defense, or TE?

Te for sure. Always leave d and k for last 2 rounds

convince your commish to get rid of K and D/ST before the draft

I have been doing mock drafts and have played around with it some to where I go kicker first (Justin Tucker) and am still able to get Zach Ertz or someone up to his level after...kickers normally put up more points than TEs week to week anyway

it doesn't work like that...

I think that the variance in points and consistency in the top 4-5 kickers to the rest of the position is greater than that of TE (with the exception of Gronk).

i would do some research on that idea.

I pick K and DEF last and swap them out almost weekly with who's hot/projected to do the best for that week.

We grouped TE with WR...so you can draft three WRs or TEs.

This. Especially in my primary league cuz it's PPR.

I typically lead with jff to give the rest of the league a fighting chance

TE

But my league also eliminated DEF/ST & Kickers.

We are a 10 team league with only 5 bench spots instead of the usual 6.. This means there is always a solid option at K/DST on the waiver wire to stream each week. If you are in a 12 team or higher league with 6 bench spots then your WW options will be very limited at times.

One of the best changes we have made for our league is going to only 5 bench spots. Makes each week WW moves a lot more interesting especially since we also do FAAB budget and make you bid on your waivers. Gives everyone a chance to get anyone but if you blow your budget early you won't have any money left for the 2nd half of the year. In addition we charge a $1 for every transaction that gets added to the main pot at the end of the year.
All of these changes (in addition to weekly payouts, most point payouts, best record payout, and playoff payouts) greatly increase the league interaction on a week to week basis and keep the league more interesting, also adds a more strategic approach managing your bench.

TE. Last 2 rounds are for K and D/ST.

Usually TE, but if a run is made on TE and I have the option of taking a top 5 defense over a TE ranked 8-15, I'll take the D/ST.

Zach Ertz

Unless your in PPR that's not saying much for a guy that's never had more than 4TDs in a season.

Its totally dependent on VALUE. I will draft a Tier 1 Tight End first if it is not too early. The tight end position is important, however I have always had success with the success of using different tight ends based on match ups and usually end up getting a good one off the waiver wire that I can start every week.

Defense CAN be very valuable. Really just depends on the year.

Kicker's are a crap shoot. My two big leagues don't use kickers and our DST's only get points for Td's, sacks, and turn overs.
