Who Should I Start? Greg Zuerlein or Jude McAtamney

The New York Jets announced on Tuesday that they placed kicker Greg Zuerlein (knee) and safety Chuck Clark (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve, so they will not be available to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The team also signed defensive lineman Phidarian Mathis and linebacker Jamin Davis to the active 53-man roster, signed offensive lineman David Sharpe to the practice squad, signed kicker Greg Joseph to the active roster and released kicker Anders Carlson. The Jets activated Zuerlein from IR last week, but he didn't attempt a kick in the Week 17 loss to the division-rival Buffalo Bills and apparently had a setback with his left knee. The 37-year-old veteran made only nine of his 15 field-goal opportunities and went 13-for-14 on extra points when healthy, so he'll likely be cut this offseason.

New York Giants kicker Jude McAtamney has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Giants are having trouble keeping kickers healthy as they're now on the third kicker. Graham Gano (quad) suffered an injury during the season opener which allowed Greg Joseph (abdomen) to get into the picture, but now he's on the injured reserve. The assumption is that McAtamney will remain the kicker for a few games, assuming he does well. He won't be an ideal streaming option given the Giants struggles on offense this season.
