Who Should I Start? Harrison Mevis or Tyler Loop

Sunday, December 28, 10:35 PM

Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis posted double-digit fantasy points in his last outing, but he still didn't reach his full potential after missing a late field goal. Mevis ultimately went 4-for-4 on extra points and 3-for-4 on field goals in the loss to Seattle. He is the sixth-highest-scoring fantasy kicker over his last three games but could have ranked even higher if not for the miss. The Missouri product gets an opportunity to bounce back on Monday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17. Kicking in a dome bodes well for Mevis, and he has a very high ceiling given that Atlanta has allowed the third-most fantasy points to kickers in 2025. Between the recent track record, his role in a high-scoring offense, and an extremely favorable matchup, it appears that the stars have aligned for Mevis to have another big game on Monday night. He's a top-eight kicker for Week 17 fantasy football.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop remains on the fantasy radar as a fringe top-12 option heading into Sunday Night Football against the New England Patriots in Week 16. Loop is the 12th-highest-scoring fantasy kicker this season and is coming off a decent game in which he made all four of his kicks, including one field goal. Overall, the rookie has gone 33-for-35 on extra points and 26-for-28 on field goals (including one from 50+ yards) through 14 games. On paper, this week's matchup is far from ideal, as the Patriots have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2025. That could be a product of New England's softer schedule, though, and Loop should continue to get extra-point and field-goal opportunities behind Baltimore's strong offense. Furthermore, he'll be kicking in calm conditions, as Baltimore's forecast calls for 5-10 mph winds and no precipitation. Loop ranks as the overall K11 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings for Week 16.
