Who Should I Start? Austin Seibert or Charlie Smyth

Saturday, November 23, 4:54 PM

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (right hip) has been removed from the injury report and will play in Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys. Seibert had previously been listed as questionable, but he was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The 28-year-old has been one of the most productive kickers in fantasy football this season, going 25-for-27 on field goals and 22-for-22 on extra points through just eight games. He should be deployed as a high-end K1 option this week versus Dallas.

New Orleans Saints kicker Charlie Smyth (groin) didn't suit up during Sunday's preseason contest against the Tennessee Titans. The rookie kicker has been dealing with an ongoing groin issue since Friday. Head coach Dennis Allen said that the team wanted to play it safe and hold Smyth out of this game. In his absence, Blake Grupe handled the kicking duties during the preseason finale. He connected on both his field goal attempts and made all three of his extra point attempts as well. It remains to be seen which kicker the team decides to ride with into the regular season. Grupe is probably the favorite after making 30-of-37 field goal attempts and all 40 extra point attempts during his rookie season with the Saints in 2023.
