Who Should I Start? Jason Myers or Jude McAtamney

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has had a relatively safe floor in 2024 due to the Seahawks' ability to move the ball down the field. He has remained relatively accurate, but he has not reached the double-digit fantasy heights since Week 2. That could change in Week 7 when the Seahawks visit the Atlanta Falcons. While the Falcons defense is solid, they have been susceptible to opposing offenses putting up big numbers. The Seahawks should have no issue moving the ball. The only thing that may slow down Myers' fantasy production is that he may be kicking a lot of extra points rather than field goals. If you have a kicker such as Brandon Aubrey on bye this week, you could do worse than Myers in your lineup.

New York Giants kicker Jude McAtamney hit both of his field goal attempts in Saturday's loss to the Giants, connecting from 43 yards and 23 yards away. He was the only Giant to put points on the board in the preseason finale. Born in Derry, Northern Ireland, McAtamney had experience playing Gaelic football before giving the American game a go, eventually playing for Rutgers in 2022 and 2023. McAtamney's path to the NFL makes for a good story but he won't be making waves in fantasy just yet. Signed as an international player, the 24-year-old rookie would not count against the 16 players on the Giants' practice squad. That does seem like the likeliest destination for McAtamney, as Graham Gano is healthy again and slated to be the Giants' starting kicker.
