Who Should I Start? Chad Ryland or Brandon Aubrey

Saturday, November 1, 8:47 PM

Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland has bounced all around the fantasy kicker leaderboards this season, which makes sense given how inconsistent this offense can be. In Week 7, he finished as the K5, which was his highest finish since Week 4. Now, after their bye, the Cardinals are set to take on the Dallas Cowboys, who have given up far too many points to almost every team they've faced. That also makes them the 20th-ranked team against opposing kickers, allowing 8.75 fantasy points per matchup. Since Jacoby Brissett has been a bit more successful at moving the ball down the field, Ryland could be in for another solid week, and that makes him a startable option again for those looking for a bye week fill-in.

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey had a disappointing outing in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos, attempting just one field goal in a game where Dallas spent most of the time playing from behind. It marked Aubrey's worst fantasy performance of the season. In Week 9, Aubrey and the Cowboys face the Arizona Cardinals in a matchup with a projected implied team total of 54.5 points, giving him plenty of scoring opportunities. The Cardinals' defense has been middle of the pack this season, allowing approximately 335.7 yards per game, suggesting the Cowboys' offense should rebound and generate scoring chances for Aubrey. RotoBaller currently ranks Aubrey as the No. 1 kicker for Week 9, making him a must-start option in all fantasy formats this week.
