Who Should I Start? Austin Seibert or Anders Carlson

The Washington Commanders placed kicker Austin Seibert (hip) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, meaning he will have to miss at least the next four games. Seibert was held out of action in Weeks 10 and 11 due to a right-hip injury and returned for the Week 12 loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, where he missed a 50-plus yard field goal and two extra-points -- one at the end of the contest that would have tied the game. The 28-year-old didn't look right and now won't be eligible to return to Washington until the regular-season finale in Week 18 versus the Cowboys. With Seibert on the shelf, the Commanders will most likely bring Zane Gonzalez back to the active roster after he filled in for Seibert in Weeks 10 and 11. The 29-year-old Gonzalez made his return to the NFL this year for the first time since 2021 and went 3-for-3 on FGs and 4-for-4 on extra points in his two games recently for Washington.

New York Jets kicker Anders Carlson made one of his two field goals and missed his lone extra-point try in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Carlson struggled with his accuracy in the close loss to LA, missing on a 49-yard attempt and also misfiring after the Jets' lone touchdown of the contest. Carlson has now hit 13 of his 15 field goals while appearing in games for the Jets and the San Francisco 49ers this season. He will take on the Buffalo Bills on the road in Week 17.
