Who Should I Start? Austin Seibert or Jake Bates

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.

Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates aims to maintain his consistent scoring as the team faces the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. In the Lions' 52-6 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Bates converted his sole field goal attempt and all seven extra points. This season, Detroit's offense has been prolific, scoring over 40 points in four of ten games and never falling below 20 points, providing Bates with ample scoring opportunities. He leads the league with 39 extra points made on 40 attempts and remains perfect on field goals, hitting all 15 attempts. Bates has scored at least eight fantasy points in seven games and achieved double-digit points in five, making him a reliable fantasy option heading into the matchup against Indianapolis.
