Who Should I Start? Jason Myers or Riley Patterson

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers could have a solid outing in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. With the Seahawks likely able to move the ball well against the Cardinals, Myers should be in plenty of solid scoring positions. Myers matched his season high with 12 fantasy points against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11. With the Seahawks looking more cohesive on offense last week, the arrow could be pointing up for Myers. Myers has connected on 14 of 17 field goals this year, including five from over 50 yards. His accuracy has not been an issue; however, his opportunities have. He should continue to display his talent this week. With six teams on a bye, Myers is a solid target as a fill-in attached to a good offense.

The New York Jets have signed free-agent kicker Anders Carlson to the practice squad and waived kicker Riley Patterson, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Patterson made his New York Jets debut last Thursday against the Houston Texans as No. 1 option Greg Zuerlein (knee) was on Injured Reserve. In that game, Patterson went a perfect 3-for-3 on extra points and did not attempt any field goals. The Jets will now likely turn to Carlson to serve as the starting kicker this weekend when they face the Arizona Cardinals. Carlson spent time in San Francisco earlier this season and went 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-4 on extra points. Fantasy managers in deeper formats could consider Carlson as a streaming option, as the Jets may have ample scoring opportunities this weekend against the Cardinals.
