Who Should I Start? Evan McPherson or Jake Moody

Sunday, September 10, 10:02 PM

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.

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody will be worthy of fantasy lineups in Week 4 when the team hosts the Arizona Cardinals. Moody remained perfect for his career last week when he made field goals of 28, 21, and 36 yards and hit all three of his extra point chances. In total this year, he is nine-for-nine in field goals and nine-for-nine in extra points, good for second in total fantasy points among NFL kickers. Arizona's defense is seventh-worst in yards per game, so the excellent 49ers offense should spend significant time in Cardinals territory. With the forecast clear and a plus-matchup, fantasy managers should feel comfortable rolling into Week 4 with Moody.
