Who Should I Start? Dustin Hopkins or Joshua Karty

Sunday, October 20, 10:10 PM

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins had a rough afternoon in a 21-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. Hopkins missed his lone field goal and went 0-for-1 on extra points in the close loss to the Bengals. The veteran kicker has been mostly reliable for the Browns since joining the team before the 2023 season but he has now missed two field goals over his past two games. Overall, Hopkins has converted 10 of his 13 field-goal tries and all but two of his nine extra-point attempts. He will look to bounce back against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty has been limited by the Rams' offensive struggles without star wide receivers Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) on the field. This has resulted in Karty having among the fewest amount of kicks in the league, with just 10 field goal tries and eight extra point attempts. Karty has been dependable when given the opportunity, converting 90% of his field goals. However, he's also one of the few kickers in the league who has missed at least one extra-point attempt this season. After last week's bye, Karty is ranked as the 15th kicker versus the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. Given the continued uncertainty surrounding the Rams' offense, Karty is more of a streamer in deep-league formats against the Raiders.
