Who Should I Start? Chad Ryland or Joshua Karty

Saturday, October 19, 11:02 PM

Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland would be a risky play in their Week 7 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. Ryland will fill in for the injured Matt Prater (knee) for the next few weeks, as Prater was placed on injured reserve. Ryland has been solid in relief, going five for six on his field goal attempts and making both of his extra-point attempts over the past two weeks. While he has performed well until the Cardinals' offense finds more consistency, he is not a reliable play in fantasy and would be a risky streaming option at best.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty has been limited by the Rams' offensive struggles without star wide receivers Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) on the field. This has resulted in Karty having among the fewest amount of kicks in the league, with just 10 field goal tries and eight extra point attempts. Karty has been dependable when given the opportunity, converting 90% of his field goals. However, he's also one of the few kickers in the league who has missed at least one extra-point attempt this season. After last week's bye, Karty is ranked as the 15th kicker versus the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. Given the continued uncertainty surrounding the Rams' offense, Karty is more of a streamer in deep-league formats against the Raiders.
