Who Should I Start? Jason Myers or Eddy Pineiro

Friday, November 15, 4:45 PM

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has been held in check in fantasy recently as the offense has struggled. He has been a relatively accurate kicker in 2024; however, his opportunities have been inconsistent. The Seahawks play the San Francisco 49ers in San Francisco in Week 11. While the 49ers' defense is not as dominant as in recent years, it is still one of the better units in the NFL. The Seahawks will likely be playing catch up throughout most of the game, and the 49ers will likely limit Seattle's offensive output. As such, Myers is a risky play as a fantasy kicker this week. The hope is that the Seahawks fixed some offensive problems during their bye week in Week 10. However, you can likely find a better option than Myers on waivers for Week 11.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro (knee) popped up on the Week 12 injury report after putting in a limited practice session due to a left-knee ailment. Mid-week additions to the injury report usually aren't a good sign, but it's unclear if Pineiro's knee injury is serious enough to keep him out of Sunday's contest against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs. Carolina doesn't have another kicker on their roster at the moment, but if they bring one in, it will be a clear sign that Pineiro won't be able to kick this weekend. In a weak Panthers offense, Pineiro is the No. 27-ranked kicker in terms of overall fantasy points, so he shouldn't have been in any fantasy lineups heading into this week's matchup against a tough Chiefs defense. Fantasy managers should continue to ignore Carolina's kicking situation.
