Who Should I Start? Chad Ryland or Harrison Mevis

Saturday, September 19, 6:07 PM

Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis has struggled to carve out consistent fantasy value, but he continues to possess enormous upside given his role alongside one of the best offenses in football. Mevis didn't attempt a field goal until his third game with the team last season, largely because the Rams found themselves in the end zone so often. However, once the dam broke, the floodgates opened and Mevis became a top fantasy kicker for the back half of the 2025 season. He ran back into some adversity during last week's season opener, converting his lone extra point attempt while never being asked to try a field goal. The Rams' quiet game on offense may have been a product of the team's unique travel logistics in Australia, so there's optimism that they'll get back on track now that they've returned stateside. Mevis will kick against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, and he can still unlock his top-12 upside if the Rams' offense looks potent this week. There are some questions about whether Puka Nacua (hip) will play, but either way, Mevis can be a solid fantasy streamer. He's the overall K10 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 2.
