Who Should I Start? Jason Myers or Brett Maher

Friday, September 12, 3:23 PM

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers continues to be a quality option at the position. He should push for double-digit fantasy points when the Seahawks visit the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2. Myers has remained accurate as Seattle's kicker. He booted home all of his field goal and extra point attempts in Week 1. The Seahawks found themselves in scoring position a handful of times, but they happened to collapse in Week 1. If they can clean up many of the miscues that plagued the offense in the opening game, the team should move the ball with ease against a Steelers defense that just allowed 32 points to the New York Jets. Start Myers with confidence in Week 2.

The Los Angeles Rams are signing veteran kicker Brett Maher on Monday after waiving rookie Lucas Havrisik earlier in the day. Maher began the year as the Rams' kicker and played in the first seven weeks before getting cut on Oct. 24, going 17-for-23 (73.9 percent) on his field-goal opportunities and 12-for-13 with his extra points. Havrisik was cut by the Rams on Monday after missing two of his four extra points in a one-point win over the New York Giants on Sunday. LA just has been unable to settle on a kicker all season, but Maher will hope to come back in and be more successful than he was earlier in the year as the team gets ready for another playoff appearance. In the Week 18 regular season finale against the San Francisco 49ers with key starters potentially being rested, Maher should be avoided for fantasy lineups.
