Who Should I Start? Dustin Hopkins or Jason Myers

The Cleveland Brown released kicker Dustin Hopkin on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. It appears that Andre Szmyt will open the 2025 regular season as the team's placekicker, although the Browns could still bring in more competition before Week 1. Hopkins will be let go after spending the last two seasons kicking for Cleveland, where he went 51-for-63 on his field-goal attempts (81%) and 41-for-46 on his extra-point tries in 31 total games. The final straw for the 34-year-old veteran might have been when he missed one of his two extra-point tries in the preseason finale on Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams. Hopkins entered training camp on shaky ground at the position after going 18-for-27 on his field goals in 16 games a year ago.

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is poised to continue his solid 2025 fantasy campaign in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Myers delivered his worst fantasy finish of the season in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers thanks to a missed field goal. The Seahawks proceeded to score only touchdowns from that point, which lowered Myers' ceiling. Still, the Seahawks' offense is playing fantastic football right now. They are constantly in scoring positions, and they are not turning the ball over very often. That combination allows Myers to rack up fantasy points. The Jaguars boast a solid defense, but it is nothing the Seahawks cannot handle. As such, Myers should deliver once again for fantasy. Start him with confidence.
