Who Should I Start? Chad Ryland or Tyler Loop

Saturday, November 22, 2:47 PM

Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland has had back-to-back games under five fantasy points for the first time this season. The 26-year-old went one for two with making an extra point attempt during Week 11's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, making a field goal within the 30 and missing his first field goal on the year from 50-plus yards out. Ryland and the Cardinals will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12, and they have allowed the 10th most passing yards this season. The Cardinals should be able to move the ball through the air to get Ryland into field goal range quite consistently. Fantasy managers can insert Ryland into lineups as a viable streaming option in Week 12.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop continues to roll as the team rides a five-game win streak. In Week 12, Loop made all three of his field goal attempts (31, 35, and 27 yards) as well both of his extra point attempts. He's finished as a K1 in four of his last five games, while the offense has put up at least 20 points in each one. Week 13 brings the Cincinnati Bengals, who have one of the worst defenses in the league. Loop should see plenty of opportunities, especially since the matchups between these AFC North rivals have ended in shootouts in recent seasons. He's projected as a top five fantasy kicker this week, so fantasy managers can deploy him into their lineups again.
