Who Should I Start? Cairo Santos or Jason Myers

Saturday, September 27, 12:44 PM

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos has had a quiet start to his 17th NFL season, making just two field goals and adding 10 extra points through three games. He currently ranks 29th in fantasy points among kickers, despite Chicago's offense performing well. Head coach Ben Johnson's aggressive approach (going for four fourth downs in field-goal range in the first three games) has limited Santos' opportunities. Week 4 brings a potential high-scoring matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, which could lead to more attempts. Still, his lack of production early in 2025 makes him unstartable in most fantasy formats this week.

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has been one of the better fantasy kickers thus far this season. His accuracy and the Seahawks' offensive effectiveness have resulted in a K3 standing with two outings of at least 13 fantasy points. That should not change in Week 5 when Seattle hosts the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers have a solid, but not unmovable, defense. The Seahawks should enjoy solid offensive output on Sunday, which will afford Myers several opportunities for field goals and extra points. There is a chance that Myers is still on waivers in your league, given that he is not always viewed as an elite fantasy option. He is likely one of the few set-and-forget kickers for as long as the Seahawks' offense continues to play at a high level. Start Myers with confidence in Week 5.
