Who Should I Start? Brandon Aubrey or Spencer Shrader

Wednesday, November 26, 11:12 PM

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey has struggled as of late, averaging around six fantasy points over his last four games. Aubrey has shown he is one of the best kickers in the NFL and should get back to producing like the elite kicker he is in fantasy very soon. The Cowboys are set to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13, which should be one of the highest-scoring games of the week. With an implied scoring total of 52.5 points, look for Aubrey to have plenty of scoring opportunities in a high-scoring matchup. RotoBaller currently has Aubrey as the fourth-ranked kicker in Week 13.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that kicker Spencer Shrader (knee) tore his ACL and MCL in his right knee in the Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and will miss the rest of the season, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN.com. Shrader was injured when a defender crashed into his knee following a kick on Sunday. It's a tough break for the 26-year-old and the 4-1 Colts, as Shrader had missed just one of his 14 field-goal tries while making all 14 of his extra-point attempts in five games before his season-ending injury. With no current kicker other than Shrader on the active roster or practice squad, the Colts will be working out free-agent kickers this week as they head into a Week 6 meeting with the visiting Arizona Cardinals. Fantasy managers who had been using Shrader at the position will have to hit the waiver wire for a replacement.
