Who Should I Start? Eddy Piñeiro or Matt Gay

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro had another productive outing in Week 9 against the New York Giants. Pineiro was good on all four of his extra point tries and hit field goals from 54 and 33 yards out in the 49ers' 34-24 win. Not one known for an overpowering leg, Pineiro is now 6-for-6 from beyond 50 yards. In Week 10, the 49ers host the Rams, who are allowing opponents 15.9 points per game and have given up the fewest touchdowns (11) in the league. That said, this game has one of the highest implied point totals of the week, which could make for a busy afternoon for Pineiro. Pineiro currently ranks third among kickers in fantasy points per game and should be started in Week 10.

Washington Commanders kicker Matt Gay has been mediocre this season, making 10 of his 14 field goal attempts and nailing all 20 extra points. Gay has struggled from attempts north of 50 yards for his career, and that's continued this season, with three of his four misses coming from attempts 50 yards or longer. The 31-year-old's 71.4% field goal percentage ranks 30th in the league out of 33 qualified kickers, well below the league average of 83.6%. Gay could be a decent option in Week 10 versus the Lions in one of the highest projected games of the week, but Washington's offense also has less juice with starting quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) out for multiple weeks.
