Who Should I Start? Eddy Piñeiro or Greg Joseph

Saturday, December 27, 5:19 AM

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro was six-for-six on extra point tries against the Colts in Week 16 and made two of his three field goal attempts. Pineiro was good from 25 and 38 yards out. His miss came on a 64-yard try at the end of the second quarter. It was his first missed field goal of 2025, making him 27-for-28 on the season. In Week 17, the 49ers host the Chicago Bears, with whom Pineiro made his NFL debut in 2019. The meeting between the two high-octane offenses carries one of the highest expected point totals of this week's slate, which could translate to Pineiro seeing a glut of opportunities to put points on the board. Pineiro, who ranks fifth among kickers in fantasy points per game, is a good option to plug into lineups for the final week of fantasy football.

San Francisco 49ers kickers Jake Moody and Greg Joseph appear to be in a legitimate competition for the starting gig this fall. The two kickers are off to a strong start as they combined to go 8-for-8 on kicks during Wednesday's practice. They also both managed to knock down kicks from around 55 yards. Moody was selected 99th overall by the 49ers in 2023, but experienced a sophomore slump last season. He missed 10 field goal attempts and one extra point, which prompted the 49ers to bring in some competition. Joseph is a veteran kicker who has been around the league quite a bit. Last season, he knocked down 16-of-20 field goal attempts in eight games between three teams. Whoever wins this job should be worth rostering in fantasy leagues because it'll probably be a high-volume job.
