Who Should I Start? Jason Myers or Matt Gay

Wednesday, December 17, 10:44 PM

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is in a great position to succeed once again in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. With the Seahawks kicking so many field goals of late, Myers has scored no fewer than 13 fantasy points since Week 9. He has scored 15 or more fantasy points in three games during that span. Myers is simply recording up flex numbers for your team right now. Seattle demonstrated an ability to move the ball against the Rams in Week 11. Myers connected on four of five field goals that week, and he missed a 61-yard game-winning attempt. Expect Seattle to have similar success at home in Week 16, minus the four interceptions thrown by quarterback Sam Darnold in Week 11. Myers should have plenty of chances to swing his leg whether it be on field goals or extra points, on Thursday. His accuracy and volume have been a great combination that is driving a stellar fantasy season. Continue to start Myers with confidence this week.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Matt Gay filled in reasonably well for the injured Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) in Week 12. In San Francisco's 20-9 win over the Panthers, Gay converted both of his extra point tries and nailed field goals from 29 and 47 yards out. Pineiro is listed as out on the 49ers' final injury report before their Week 13 showdown with the Cleveland Browns, so Gay will stay on as the team's kicker for at least one more week. Unfortunately, he won't be working in favorable conditions. Sunday's forecast calls for 25 to 35 MPH winds, rain, and snow in Cleveland. Gay will have to be at the top of his game to be of service to San Francisco. Fantasy football managers may want to look elsewhere to fill the kicker slot in their starting lineups for Week 13.
