Who Should I Start? Jason Myers or Jake Bates

Saturday, October 11, 9:45 AM

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is poised to continue his solid 2025 fantasy campaign in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Myers delivered his worst fantasy finish of the season in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers thanks to a missed field goal. The Seahawks proceeded to score only touchdowns from that point, which lowered Myers' ceiling. Still, the Seahawks' offense is playing fantastic football right now. They are constantly in scoring positions, and they are not turning the ball over very often. That combination allows Myers to rack up fantasy points. The Jaguars boast a solid defense, but it is nothing the Seahawks cannot handle. As such, Myers should deliver once again for fantasy. Start him with confidence.

Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates has made six of his eight field goal attempts so far this season and has not yet missed an extra-point try. Playing for a Lions team that has averaged 34.8 points per game, Bates currently leads the NFL in extra-point attempts for the second straight season. The 26-year-old will face the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 6. Kansas City is allowing an average of 21.4 points per contest, so this could be a more difficult game for Detroit to put up points. Still, Bates profiles as a low-end starting kicker option in Week 6.
