Who Should I Start? Brandon Aubrey or Ryan Fitzgerald

Thursday, December 4, 10:26 AM

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey continues to be one of the best fantasy kickers on the board this week, when the Cowboys roll into Detroit to take on the Lions. He converted all three of his field goal attempts last week and both of his extra points as well. He has made 22-of-24 field goals overall and 37-of-38 extra point attempts this season. He is 6-for-8 from 50+ yards and has knocked through a pair of field goals over 60 yards. If he gets the chances, he usually delivers, and playing indoors at Ford Field, the weather won't be an issue this Thursday. In RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, Aubrey is the No. 2 option at the position, so start him with confidence this week.

Ryan Fitzgerald is a viable fill-in option if a deeper one is needed for Week 10. In last week's game against the Green Bay Packers, the Carolina kicker nailed his only field goal attempt and was 1-for-2 on extra point attempts. The rookie kicker has recorded an average of 7.2 fantasy points this season while hitting all of his field goal attempts in four of the last five weeks. Over the last four weeks, the Saints have allowed 10 points per game to the kicker position, which ranks 28th of all teams. New Orleans has also given up an average of 27 points to opposing teams, which is tied for 24th-most in the league this season. The matchup appears to be favorable for Fitzgerald, and while he is ranked just 18th at kicker by RotoBaller for Week 10, he could provide adequate fantasy totals.
