Ryan Succop | Kansas City Chiefs | 6-foot-2, 218 pounds | 2nd year

Pros: The rook connected on 25 of his 29 field goal attempts last year (86.2 percent). The Kansas City offense was atrocious, but they should be improved with new offensive coordinator Charlie Weis, running back Thomas Jones, the emergence of back Jamaal Charles and new wideout Dexter McCluster. They could find it easier moving the ball this year.

Cons: Succop has little track record: He could crash and burn in his second season. Eight times last year he attempted one or fewer field goals in a game. He doesn't have much accuracy from far out; though five attempts from 50-plus yards is solid, he made just two of them.

Fantasy tip: You should feel comfortable taking Succop as your No. 1. Owners are typically drafting him as the 14th kicker off the board. If you want to secure your defense in the final two rounds, do that, then take Succop in the last round. We like him as a sleeper this year.
