Who Should I Start? Brandon Aubrey or Joshua Karty

Saturday, November 1, 4:53 PM

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey had a disappointing outing in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos, attempting just one field goal in a game where Dallas spent most of the time playing from behind. It marked Aubrey's worst fantasy performance of the season. In Week 9, Aubrey and the Cowboys face the Arizona Cardinals in a matchup with a projected implied team total of 54.5 points, giving him plenty of scoring opportunities. The Cardinals' defense has been middle of the pack this season, allowing approximately 335.7 yards per game, suggesting the Cowboys' offense should rebound and generate scoring chances for Aubrey. RotoBaller currently ranks Aubrey as the No. 1 kicker for Week 9, making him a must-start option in all fantasy formats this week.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty has a favorable matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 9, but he is tough to trust in fantasy lineups following an underwhelming stretch of games. The 23-year-old is 9-for-10 on extra points over his last three contests, but he's just 2-for-4 on field goals during that span. He has just 10 total field goals in 2025 and ranks as the overall K25 to this point. On a positive note, the Saints have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to kickers this season, and RotoBaller's expert rankings have Karty listed as the #6 kicker in Week 9, so perhaps he can bounce back after the bye week. However, managers are advised to peruse the waiver wire for more consistent kickers with better recent track records before settling on someone like Karty purely based on matchup.
