Who Should I Start? Jake Moody or Will Reichard

Saturday, October 18, 5:04 PM

Chicago Bears kicker Jake Moody was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints. Moody was close to perfect in his Bears debut in Week 6 against Washington, nailing his lone extra point and hitting four of five field goals, including a 38-yarder as time expired to give the Bears their third win of the season. His 48-yard field goal to start the fourth quarter was blocked, but it was otherwise a great debut for Moody, who has had his struggles in San Francisco. He projects again as a decent option in Week 7 with the Chicago offense improving each week.

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard is a mid-tier kicking option when his team plays host to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7. The second-year man has been mostly excellent this season, going 11-for-11 on extra points and 8-for-9 on field goals, with the lone miss impacted by an overhead wire during the Vikings' trip to London. Reichard has a solid matchup against Philly, but the bigger concern is the Minnesota offense, which will again start backup quarterback Carson Wentz with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) deemed questionable. The Vikings finished their most recent game with four backups on the offensive line, but should have at least three of five normal starters available Sunday. Reichard has been in good form, but an up-and-down Vikings offense impacts the number of chances he ultimately gets.
