Who Should I Start? Charlie Smyth or Brayden Narveson

New Orleans Saints kicker Charlie Smyth has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The Saints are searching for a new kicker after waiving Blake Grupe. Smyth was competing with Cade York throughout the week. It looks like the 24-year-old has won the competition and will start this weekend. The Irish native will make his NFL debut here, so fantasy managers don't have any previous NFL kicking stats to go by. That being said, Smith will be a risky streaming option for Week 13.

According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, the Tennessee Titans are signing kicker Brayden Narveson to the active roster. The Titans also added another year to his contract to keep him under team control through the 2025 season. This is also worth monitoring as No.1 kicker Nick Folk (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Folk opened the week as a non-participant but was able to upgrade to a limited participant which may open the door for him to suit up. Narveson operated as the starting kicker in Green Bay over the first six games and held an underwhelming 70.6% conversion rate and was 16-for-16 on extra points. However, with Mason Rudolph getting the starting nod, both kickers should remain on the waiver wire and out of your starting lineup this weekend as the Titans may have trouble getting points on the board.
