Who Should I Start? Eddy Pineiro or Chase McLaughlin

Saturday, September 30, 8:15 AM

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro made two of his three field goals and added three extra points in his team's Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Pineiro will now take on the Minnesota Vikings at home in Bank of America Stadium in Week 4. The Vikings have been solid against kickers this season, allowing just the 17th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Pineiro has made six of seven field goals on the year, including two from 50+ yards, but the Carolina offense isn't moving the ball into scoring position frequently enough to trust him as a fantasy starter this weekend.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has been a fairly reliable option through the first two weeks of the season. He had a field goal blocked during the second quarter of the Week 2 win over the Chicago Bears. Outside of that, McLaughlin has been perfect, which is great to see. However, McLaughlin hasn't seen many field goal chances this season, which is hurting his fantasy value. It probably isn't going to get any easier versus the tough Philadelphia Eagles defense in Week 3. Fantasy managers should be able to find a better streaming option for Week 3.
