Who Should I Start? Cameron Dicker or Parker Romo

Friday, October 10, 6:03 PM

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker remains perfect this season and is poised for a high-volume week against a vulnerable Miami Dolphins defense. Although the Chargers' offense has recently struggled, with fewer red-zone opportunities due to penalties and turnovers, the favorable matchup should help them move the ball more effectively. Kicker consistency is essential in fantasy, and Dicker is a proven asset capable of making long field goals, as demonstrated by his 55-yard kick last week. The hope is that the offense regains its rhythm, but even if they settle for field goals outside the 20, Dicker offers a high floor. RotoBaller projects Dicker as K4 this week. He is a clear must-start and should be included in all starting lineups.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Parker Romo has filled in admirably since he was made the starter in Week 2, going 5-for-5 on extra points and 7-for-9 on field goal attempts, with his two misses coming from 49 yards and 55 yards out. The 28-year-old has been given at least two field goal attempts in each of his three games, and could be active again on Monday, with this matchup against Buffalo having one of the highest over/unders on the slate at 49.5. The game is in Atlanta, so Romo will not have to contend with the elements, however, there are likely safer and higher-upside options available to fantasy managers. The Virginia Tech product projects as a mid-range tier two kicker option on Monday versus the Bills.
