Who Should I Start? Jason Myers or Jake Bates

Friday, December 12, 4:56 PM

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is in a great position to succeed in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts. Myers is on a five-week streak of scoring at least 13 fantasy points. With Seattle's offense kicking a lot of field goals of late and finding themselves in scoring positions in general, Myers has had every opportunity to score for fantasy. Myers has been especially effective as a long-range kicker lately. He has made at least one kick of at least 40 yards in every game but one this year. That type of base is anchoring a stellar fantasy season. The Colts boast a solid defense, but even great defenses have been unable to keep Seattle out of scoring position this season. Start Myers with confidence once again in Week 15.

Although Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates saw his streak of four straight games without a missed field goal come to an end in Week 14, he still knocked in three out of four field goal attempts and all five of his extra point tries in Detroit's win over the Dallas Cowboys. Bates remains the current NFL leader in both extra-point attempts (47) and makes (45) through 14 weeks. In Week 15, the Lions will travel to Los Angeles to take on the Rams. The Lions and Rams enter the week as two of the NFL's top teams in points per game, so this game could have shootout potential. Additionally, playing indoors at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium eliminates any potential issues Bates might have with the weather. Fantasy managers can view Bates as a must-start fantasy kicker in Week 15.
