Who Should I Start? Dustin Hopkins or Jason Myers

Tuesday, August 26, 3:18 PM

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 continues to be a quality option at the position. He should push for double-digit fantasy points when the Seahawks visit the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2. Myers has remained accurate as Seattle's kicker. He booted home all of his field goal and extra point attempts in Week 1. The Seahawks found themselves in scoring position a handful of times, but they happened to collapse in Week 1. If they can clean up many of the miscues that plagued the offense in the opening game, the team should move the ball with ease against a Steelers defense that just allowed 32 points to the New York Jets. Start Myers with confidence in Week 2.
