Who Should I Start? Jake Moody or Harrison Mevis

Saturday, December 6, 10:29 AM

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.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis has been a high-volume option ever since joining the team, but the vast majority of his kicks have been extra points rather than field goals. Since extra points account for just one point in most fantasy leagues, managers might expect that Mevis' fantasy output has been relatively low. In reality, though, he has kicked so many extra points and has been accurate enough that he remains firmly on the fantasy radar for Week 15 against the Detroit Lions. In five games with the Rams, he is 23-for-23 on extra points and 3-for-3 on field goals. Just last week alone, he converted seven kicks (six extra points and one field goal). The biggest drawback for Mevis is that the Rams have scored more touchdowns than field goals, and even when they do get a fourth-down situation in field-goal range, they're not afraid to keep the offense on the field. This has kept Mevis' floor low, but at the same time, he arguably has one of the highest ceilings among all fantasy kickers. After all, if the Rams start kicking more field goals, Mevis could jump to the top tier of fantasy kickers. As it stands, he continues to rank quite high. He's the #5 kicker in this week's RotoBaller fantasy football rankings.
