Who Should I Start? Eddy Piñeiro or Austin Seibert

Wednesday, December 10, 8:55 PM

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pi eiro (hamstring) practiced in full on Wednesday and is expected to return in Week 15. Pineiro has missed the previous two games due to a hamstring injury. Still, with extra time to recover from the bye week, Pineiro is expected to return to face the Tennessee Titans. The sixth-year veteran is having a career season, making all 22 field goal attempts this season, and ranking as the 6th-ranked kicker on a per-game basis. With the 49ers listed as big favorites and one of the highest implied totals of the weekend, Pineiro is a sneaky option as a kicker this week for fantasy purposes.

The Washington Commanders placed kicker Austin Seibert (hip) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, meaning he will have to miss at least the next four games. Seibert was held out of action in Weeks 10 and 11 due to a right-hip injury and returned for the Week 12 loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, where he missed a 50-plus yard field goal and two extra-points -- one at the end of the contest that would have tied the game. The 28-year-old didn't look right and now won't be eligible to return to Washington until the regular-season finale in Week 18 versus the Cowboys. With Seibert on the shelf, the Commanders will most likely bring Zane Gonzalez back to the active roster after he filled in for Seibert in Weeks 10 and 11. The 29-year-old Gonzalez made his return to the NFL this year for the first time since 2021 and went 3-for-3 on FGs and 4-for-4 on extra points in his two games recently for Washington.
