Who Should I Start? Jason Myers or Michael Badgley

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.

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley (hamstring) was officially placed on injured reserve. While the team has already acknowledged his injury was season-ending, the latest marks an official end to his 2024-25 campaign. The 26-year-old has played for the Chargers, Titans, Colts, Bears, and Lions since 2018. He's made 98 of his 119 kicks while also missing just seven of his 175 extra-point tries. Although Badgley isn't the best fantasy kicker, he's undoubtedly a better option than others. But now he's heading for surgery, with the Lions anticipated to quickly move to fill the position.
