Who Should I Start? Cameron Dicker or Joshua Karty

Tuesday, October 22, 12:47 AM

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker made every Chargers point in a 15-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. Dicker attempted five field goals, making all five of them. He didn't get a chance to kick an extra point as the Chargers were allergic to the end zone in this game. Dicker set a career long and tied a Chargers franchise record with a 59-yard field goal in the first quarter. He followed that up with field goals from 50, 28, 47, and 40 yards out. It was an excellent real life and fantasy performance for "Dicker the Kicker", especially in leagues with distance bonuses. He'll get another good matchup in Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty has been limited by the Rams' offensive struggles without star wide receivers Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) on the field. This has resulted in Karty having among the fewest amount of kicks in the league, with just 10 field goal tries and eight extra point attempts. Karty has been dependable when given the opportunity, converting 90% of his field goals. However, he's also one of the few kickers in the league who has missed at least one extra-point attempt this season. After last week's bye, Karty is ranked as the 15th kicker versus the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. Given the continued uncertainty surrounding the Rams' offense, Karty is more of a streamer in deep-league formats against the Raiders.
