Who Should I Start? Greg Joseph or Jake Moody

Wednesday, July 23, 9:58 PM

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.

Washington Commanders kicker Jake Moody was perfect in his team debut last week against the Denver Broncos, nailing both field-goal attempts and two extra points. Moody has made 10 of his last 11 attempts since missing two kicks in Week 1 with the San Francisco 49ers and subsequently being released. The 26-year-old profiles as a solid option in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings, with Washington's offense consistently able to move the ball into scoring position. The return of quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) also boosts the appeal of streaming Moody in fantasy football with Washington's offense as close to full health as it's been all season.
