FANTASY FOOTBALL: Kicker, defense count

It's easy to find the big money points in fantasy football -- they're in the skill positions. Fantasy owners devote almost all of their energy on the quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end positions. But what about the defense and kickers?This is where the hidden points are. Most people grab a kicker and a defense very late in their drafts and hold onto them until a bye week. Some owners don't even bother with bye weeks and will leave those slots empty. You can do that if you want, but don't come crying to me when you lose by four points.With a little research and a lot of time cruising the waiver wire, you can squeeze extra points out of these two positions by adding and dropping based on matchups.Your skill players are individuals that perform predictably every week, for the most part.
