Who Should I Start? Greg Zuerlein or Chase McLaughlin

Thursday, November 23, 8:07 PM

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein did not attempt a single field goal or extra point in a blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills last week. The 35-year-old will look to be more involved in a Week 12 bout with the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are surrendering plenty of points to opposing offenses, but New York is struggling to score and will be starting Tim Boyle at quarterback on Friday. Boyle has shown very little in his 18 career appearances, so Zuerlein cannot be expected to have many opportunities. Fantasy managers should be able to find better options available on waiver wires.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has missed only one field goal attempt through his first four games. The 27-year-old knocked down both his field goal attempts and extra point attempts during the Week 4 victory over the New Orleans Saints. Heading into the season, McLaughlin's value was shaky because it was unknown how well this offense would perform with Baker Mayfield under center. The Bucs have held their own and could be in for a high-scoring contest against the Detroit Lions in Week 6. That being said, McLaughlin could be worth a look for fantasy managers looking for a streaming option this week.
