Who Should I Start? Cameron Dicker or Will Reichard

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker went 2-for-2 on field goals in Week 11 despite the team's struggles on offense. The Chargers possessed the ball for only 22 minutes and reached the red zone once against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dicker now faces a matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, whose middle-of-the-road defense has surprisingly allowed the tenth-fewest first downs this season. This creates a favorable situation for Dicker, as the Raiders' stout defense might lead to more field goal attempts than touchdowns. RotoBaller projects Dicker as K5 for the week. Fantasy managers should trust this ranking and consider Dicker a strong high-end K1, expecting more field-goal opportunities in this game.

The 2025 season has been the same story for Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard: he's been excellent when the team has needed him, but a major regression on offense has made him an average fantasy play most weeks. More than 17% of the Vikings' drives have ended in turnovers, far and away the worst rate in the NFL, and the offense is now scoring on fewer than a third of its possessions overall. Naturally, the second-year kicker has been unpredictable alongside an offense that is struggling to stay on the field. Reichard has eight makes from beyond 50 yards this year and is a terrific 21-for-23 on field goal attempts, but starting him in Week 14 will be contingent on the Minnesota offense breaking its slump against the Washington Commanders. However, against a Washington defense allowing scoring drives at the highest rate in the NFL, there is some hope for Reichard, albeit with risk involved.
