Who Should I Start? Brandon Aubrey or Jude McAtamney

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.

Kicker Jude McAtamney has returned to the New York Giants' practice squad on Thursday on an International Player Program exemption after the team released him earlier in the week, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. With regular kicker Graham Gano (groin) on Injured Reserve, McAtamney was the team's fill-in placekicker from Weeks 4-7, but he was cut this week after his two crucial missed extra points proved to be the difference in the team's 33-32 loss at the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Gano has returned to practice this week and could make his return from IR this Sunday against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, but if he doesn't, they have the option of elevating former Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo from the practice squad. The 25-year-old McAtamney, who is from Northern Ireland, made both of his field-goal attempts but missed three of his 12 extra points in his four games with New York.
