Who Should I Start? Cameron Dicker or Spencer Shrader

Friday, November 7, 6:27 PM

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is a must-start every week, and this Week 10 home matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers is no different. Dicker was perfect last week, making both of his field goal attempts (including a 52-yarder) and all three extra points. The Steelers' defense has been playing well lately, suggesting they could limit the Chargers' red-zone opportunities and force them to settle for field goals instead of touchdowns, which would boost Dicker's volume. Given his consistency and the likely need for his leg against a potentially tough opponent, RotoBaller projects Dicker as the K1 this week.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that kicker Spencer Shrader (knee) tore his ACL and MCL in his right knee in the Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and will miss the rest of the season, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN.com. Shrader was injured when a defender crashed into his knee following a kick on Sunday. It's a tough break for the 26-year-old and the 4-1 Colts, as Shrader had missed just one of his 14 field-goal tries while making all 14 of his extra-point attempts in five games before his season-ending injury. With no current kicker other than Shrader on the active roster or practice squad, the Colts will be working out free-agent kickers this week as they head into a Week 6 meeting with the visiting Arizona Cardinals. Fantasy managers who had been using Shrader at the position will have to hit the waiver wire for a replacement.
