Who Should I Start? Jason Myers or Chase McLaughlin

Friday, October 17, 8:44 PM

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is in line for another solid fantasy outing against the Houston Texans in Week 7. Myers is currently the K3 in fantasy. He has delivered five games with at least eight fantasy points this season. The Seahawks' offense has played very well in 2025, which has left Myers in plenty of scoring positions this season. The Texans boast one of the elite defenses in the NFL this year. They may cap the Seahawks' usual offensive output. However, Seattle should still be able to move the ball on this team, which will at least result in field goal attempts. Given the matchup, Myers is not as strong a play as he usually is, but he is still a starting option for fantasy in Week 7. If you need to plug in an option at kicker this week, do not be afraid of Myers, who is available in a lot of leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin (illness) was added to the injury report late in the week, but he carries no game designation and is fully expected to play against the Seattle Seahawks. McLaughlin has been productive through four weeks, hitting nine of 12 field goal attempts, including a 65-yarder against Philadelphia in Week 4. While his 75% field goal percentage ranks just 26th in the league, the Buccaneers' explosive offense has kept him busy, and he currently sits fifth among kickers in fantasy points. With Tampa Bay traveling to Seattle for what projects to be a close matchup, McLaughlin should once again see multiple scoring opportunities. Fantasy managers should treat him as a must-start option in Week 5.
