Who Should I Start? Chad Ryland or Joshua Karty

Saturday, October 4, 12:59 PM

Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland has connected on eight of 10 field goal attempts and all eight of his extra-point tries through his first four games of 2025. Both he and the Cardinals should have plenty of opportunities to put points on the board in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans, who are allowing an average of 30 points per game so far this season. Ryland also has the benefit of playing this week at home in Arizona, eliminating any weather concerns from the equation. The 25-year-old profiles as a low-end starting fantasy kicker option in Week 5 against Tennessee.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty has struggled with field goals in recent weeks, and as a result, he has slipped off the fantasy radar heading into Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Karty is just 2-for-4 on field goals over his last two games, and he's 8-for-12 over his last four. He has just one made field goal from beyond 50 yards this year. Furthermore, he has missed two extra-point attempts. All in all, the results have been disappointing from Karty, who ranks as the overall K22 in his second pro season. It's not like Week 7 is a get-right opportunity for him, either. The Jaguars have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2025. He should be left on waivers in most leagues.
