Who Should I Start? Cairo Santos or Evan McPherson

Saturday, November 22, 9:59 AM

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is coming off his best game of the season in Week 11, knocking down four of five field goals, including the game-winner to beat the division rival Minnesota Vikings. It's been an up-and-down year for Santos, who's fought through injuries and kicker controversy with Jake Moody earlier in the year. With Moody in Washington and the injuries behind the veteran kicker, Santos will look to fire off a strong finish to his 12th season. He faces a great matchup in Week 12, against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to kickers this season. With good weather expected and a ton of confidence, Santos is worth starting in Week 12.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson has been a more consistent option over the last few weeks. Over the last three games, McPherson has made 7-of-8 field goal attempts, while connecting on all 12 extra point kicks during that span. The Bengals offense has been moving the ball better lately with Joe Flacco under center. They head into a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. McPherson knocked down seven kicks during their last meeting. Given his recent success, McPherson is worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in need of a kicker in Week 11.
