Who Should I Start? Greg Zuerlein or Eddy Piñeiro

Friday, May 16, 4:32 PM

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein has been released by the organization on Friday. This news doesn't come as a shock after Zuerlein struggled last season. He appeared in eight games, Zuerlein made only 9-of-15 field goal attempts, which is the worst of his career. The 37-year-old missed time with a knee injury as well, so it wouldn't be surprising if he decided to retire. If not, Zuerlein will likely need to earn his spot in training camp on another roster. The expectation is that Anders Carlson and Cade Davis will compete for the starting gig this fall.

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.
