Who Should I Start? Eddy Pineiro or Evan McPherson

Thursday, September 21, 7:58 PM

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro has made all four of his field goals, including two from 50+ yards through his first two games of the season. He will look to stay perfect when he heads on the road to take on the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. Pineiro draws a plus matchup against a Seattle defense that has had trouble stopping opposing offenses through the first two games of the season. Overall, they are allowing fantasy kickers to notch the seventh-most fantasy points per game thus far. Pineiro has a nice matchup but the Carolina offense hasn't been very efficient through two games which caps his upside.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson nailed a 42-yard field goal during the loss to Cleveland on Sunday. However, he missed his following try on the next series. In all fairness, McPherson was the only person who put points on the board for the struggling Bengals offense, and the weather conditions weren't ideal, either. While the 24-year-old seemed to take a step backward last season, he's still one of the best kickers in the NFL. Fantasy managers should keep him starting in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens.
