Who Should I Start? Cameron Dicker or Jude McAtamney

Friday, October 17, 6:39 PM

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker has been perfect so far this year and is coming off a last-second, game-winning field goal against the Miami Dolphins, one of five successful field goals on the day. Dicker enters Week 7 in a high-scoring game environment against the Indianapolis Colts, with the game total set at 48.5 points, indicating a likely offensive shootout. Given the Chargers' ability to move the ball and Dicker's consistent accuracy, he should get plenty of chances to score points. RotoBaller ranks Dicker as the K2 this week, and he is a must-start.

New York Giants kicker Jude McAtamney is an extremely low-floor option and should be avoided in all but the deepest fantasy formats for his Week 7 road contest. McAtamney has minimal history to rely on, having scored only nine total fantasy points across his three appearances with a 100% field goal rate on two attempts but missing an Extra Point against the Eagles. Unfortunately, the Denver Broncos are a difficult matchup for opposing kickers, as they rank 23rd in fantasy points allowed to the position, limiting kickers to a meager 9.5 points per game. Given the Giants' implied total of only 16.75 points and the Broncos' elite Red Zone Defense, which ranks 1st in the NFL, McAtamney is not projected to see the high-value scoring opportunities needed to be fantasy-relevant this week.
