Who Should I Start? Jason Myers or Michael Badgley

Friday, October 31, 6:24 PM

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is in a great position to succeed against an average-at-best Washington Commanders defense in Week 9. The Seahawks' offense should have no issues moving the ball up and down the field against this team. Myers is the K8, even with a bye week to his name. He has only scored fewer than 8 fantasy points on one occasion this year. That only happened because the Seahawks almost exclusively scored touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. As such, Myers has about as safe a floor as any kicker in the league. He is still readily available on waivers, especially since he is coming out of his bye. If you need a kicker in Week 9, and even beyond, do not hesitate to set and forget Myers.

Indianapolis Colts kicker Michael Badgley will head on the road to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. Badgley has been excellent for the Colts since taking over kicking duties after Spencer Shrader was lost for the season with a knee injury. The veteran placekicker has made all three of his field-goal tries while hitting 12 of his 13 extra points in three contests. The Steelers have been generous to kickers this season, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Although Badgley hasn't attempted multiple field goals in a game yet, Shrader was near the league lead in field-goal makes and attempts before he got hurt. Badgley sets up as a top-10 fantasy kicker in Week 9.
