Who Should I Start? Cairo Santos or Cameron Dicker

Saturday, November 1, 10:31 AM

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos returned from a multi-game absence last week. He immediately made an impact in his first game back, converting his lone extra point attempt while going 3-for-4 on field goals, including one from 40+ yards out. The 33-year-old has always been a solid kicker, and his productivity has improved this season as the Bears show more signs of life on offense. This week, Santos will take on the Cincinnati Bengals in a potentially close game that should feature high scoring. Cincinnati ranks near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to kickers, giving Santos a chance to carve out a fantasy-revelant showing. He's on the border of the fantasy radar right now, ranking as the overall K13 in Week 9, according to RotoBaller's experts.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is a must-start every week, and this Week 10 home matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers is no different. Dicker was perfect last week, making both of his field goal attempts (including a 52-yarder) and all three extra points. The Steelers' defense has been playing well lately, suggesting they could limit the Chargers' red-zone opportunities and force them to settle for field goals instead of touchdowns, which would boost Dicker's volume. Given his consistency and the likely need for his leg against a potentially tough opponent, RotoBaller projects Dicker as the K1 this week.
